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.

Disclaimer “dangerous so don’t do it unless you are trained”-/boy anyone that can dunk has trained to do so and therefore can do it, not like you get up and just are able to windmill in between the legs if you can reach above the rim

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.
