But going from the line is kind of generic to me.



Who has ever done one legitimately though? That is the first one I have seen. Every other one involved a foot either on or way over the line. I have never seen one take off with a foot behind the line, much less 12 inches behind it

Just cause they call it one, doesn't mean it is one

Normally, a FT line dunk would not impress me. If you can palm a basketball, and long jump about 18-20 feet, you can do it. I realize there are not a lot of those guys around.... but still. But that Between the Legs FT dunk by White is SICKNESS.

Fontenette - best off of 2 feet
White - best off 1 foot

a good deal of those are right at the line or legit.

even Pippen was right at the line, give or take 2".

we're talking 2-3 inches most of the time..its hard to judge exactly where you take off, esp when u are in a timed competition

most of the time, the people ive seen do it, do it easily enough that if they were 2-3 further back, they could have still completed it.


Im not saying White's FT line dunk isnt impressive; but its basketball, not a long jump pit. It takes athletic ability, but not the type of ability and coordination that this other guy shows

IMO air up there is hands down better.... and not even close. Anyone 6'5" and up with some hops can take off from the free throw line. I dont want to argue but your boy from Hitchcock is a absolute freak who makes VERY difficult dunks look simple. Lets see who else can do a 720 like him? Vince Carter is second IMHO
