I noticed that Champion only does dunks using both legs to generate height. There’s a whole other category of dunks that can be done off of one leg. MJ had some spectacular dunks off of one leg (and not just the free-throw one). Also, I forget who, but someone once did a “Statue of Liberty” dunk with looks awesome.

That reverse pump dunk is great, but it also highlights how insane Aaron Gordon’s was in the dunk contest. He combined a tomahawk and the pump and still slammed it. Ridiculous.

Dunking is one thing that most humans would never be able to do on a basketball court. It’s objectively the hardest physical feat . So for casuals it makes sense.

@Joshido I get it. It’s just a tiny portion of actual basketball so having a whole separate profession just for it sounds insane.
