Every single one of these dunks are better than the NBA Blake Griffin advertising a KIA dunk.

using this forum's logic this has to be shopped since these dudes are too white to even dunk let alone do crazy shit like that.

These guys have INSAAAAAAAAANE athleticism. Like top 10% of NBA level athleticism. I'm actually shocked

Some really nice dunks there just as good as tfb, but I assume these aren't pro ballers just pro Dunkers? That's like putting air up there in the nba dunk contest and watch him do a 720 of course he would win, but he could never make a nba roster

The guy in the camo shorts with the second dunk might have as much leaping ability as anyone. I won't say that he couldn't do it but I bet Gerald Green would need a few tries to pull that dunk off.

How tall are these dudes? Never seen that many white dudes that can jump.


Sick dunks though. Definitely better than the past few NBA dunk contests.

Dude in the green shorts going between his legs like its nothing. Crazy

Pretty lame that threads about Lebron and MJ's vertical will turn into a 10+ page pissing contest but legit interesting threads like this won't get nearly enough attention.

Some seriously filthy dunks in there. That reverse pump over the dude...with both elbows in the rim :biggums:

Get these guys in the dunk contest. How sick would it be if the All Star game allowed a few choice international dunkers, and maybe some 3v3 action open to international teams.

At least I think it'd be cool.

You can take high school kids out of any basketball state and they would produce better dunks than the recent dunk contests. I'm not speaking hyperbolically either. I truly believe that. Just go on Youtube and watch 15-16 year olds doing crazy shit. Look up Kwe Parker for instance.

That one you time stamped to, that's Jrich's dunk yah? Just off the side rather than bounce. As someone who could only grab rim, which is easier? Although it looked unintentional to me. Like he was trying for a 360 and just didn't get it.

The NBA doesn't want to bring in actual dunkers that put NBA players to shame. It's just shitting on their own product. If they do they'll probably pay him to take a dive :lol

:wtf: dude, what does one thing have to do with another? Yes this 14 year old kid probably is the better basketball player but Lipek would easily kill this kid in a dunk contest! These guys are white and have their heads at rim level, that's crazy!! So give respect where respect is due!

Kristaps Dārgais would destroy any junior highschool players. Seventh would would cry by the end of the game. He is a pro basketball player. Playing against real men.

Sweet dunks. Good video.

And friends, as enlightened people of the internet, I think it's important that we stop assuming everyone who is black = athletic and everyone who's white = isn't.

Here are the High Jump Gold Medalists from the last 4 Olympics, for instance:

2012 Ukhov - Russia
2008 Silnov - Russia
2004 Holm - Sweden
2000 Klyugin - Russia

Expand your point of reference past the NBA, which, for whatever reason, has generally only employed Europeans who move like Dirk and Mozgov.

Plenty of people from that part of the world can jump - especially off one leg, like most of the dunkers in that video

Black, 25 and in high school, seems pretty normal to me.

these fiba 3x3 tournaments are played with a smaller ball (size 6, compared with size 7 for normal basketball). easy to palm, much easier to dunk. have to take that into account
