I couldn't even do that on a nerf hoop in my bedroom.
I couldn't even do that on a nerf hoop in your bedroom either. That guy has some strong jumpular dorsimus muscles.
This kid can ball, prototypical wing...we are going to have an embarassment of riches at the wing positions over the next couple of years.
I'm going to make a bold predction. We will be better at the basketballs this season than this past season. Assuming everyone stays healthy *fingers crossed*.
I know you were setting a low bar there, but even if (god forbid, shutting my damn mouth) Caris and DW were sidelined (and Spike was "limited") this team will still be much, much better than last year.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's not legal. The opposing team has to inbound the ball after a made basket, so I'm not sure why he's spending his time practicing plays that are against the rules.
There was a Louisville player who did the same thing first and posted it online and got positive feedback.
he even mentions the other player in the tweet. Louisville recruit Donovan Mitchell did this a few days ago and made Sportscenter so now I guess other players are doing it. Mitchell also posted a clip of Kentucky recruit Isaiah Briscoe not knowing what an adjective, which was pretty funny and got news attention yesterday.
Here is Donovan Mitchell's version on Instagram - LINK
At 5'9'' and considerably less athletic than that, I am pretty sure my attempt would end up being about a half-point dead run into the backboard support. That ball would come out of it unscathed, I am sure.
That being said, awesome dunk indeed.
That kid was still in high school!
You know that he is joking, right?
You are obviously not a fan of British comedy.
working on two skills at once. Outside shooting and dunking. Unfortunately, he made the shot, so he couldn't practice legal rebound dunking. But you do what you can.
... you missed it.
It is sad that everyone missed the sarcasm in this post
the best kind of sarcasm is the kind where half the listeners think it's for real
But I will raise it.
Is that JayBaugh hanging out at the 3pt line in the background? He really is all over social media!
Duncan Robinson
You think that looks like Jay Harbaugh?
Did something just go over my head? I hope so, I hope you're not being serious.
He is white, so he's Jay Harbaugh.
Oh my.

I assume the NBA still does it.
NBA players in the dunk contest do not often make 3s
If Dawkins can improve his ability to get to the rim next year, he could be a 20 ppg scorer. The only thing holding him back from achieving that would be the fact that we won't be dependent on him due to Irvin and LeVert.
I am very optimistic about Aubrey. I am confident that Beilein will help him develop the ball handling skills necessary to become elite at getting to the rim. I'd be absolutely shocked if Dawkins doesn't end up in the NBA.
The most amazing thing is that he can slow himself down mid air, the ball as well, then speed things back up. That has got to come in handy in games.
because of the ball going through the hoop first. it is a nice touch, and i wonder if it was intentional. back in the day i/we would dunk similarly, but by bouncing the ball either off the back board, or as we got better at it, making a big bounce off the floor, up the the back board, then grabbing the ball in the air and stuffing it.
video or it didn't happen. /s
i think my kids still have some pics somewhere - the problem is that the photos are old enough that they are curling up old color photos, long before the digital age. i'd be nervous about trying that now. haven't played a game of hoops in over a decade.
Yes, making the 3 was intentional. That's kinda the point here.
goes through the hoop, without indication about how far he shot it.
Remains to be seen how he'll ultimately look against the competition next year, but if last year and this summer's Camp Sanderson are any indication, Dawkins could be the next man in a long line of Beilein's diamonds in the rough.
Praying that everyone stays healthy next year. The team has a ton of playing experience across the board, and everyone will get that much better because of it. Just need to avoid injuries like the plague.
