T-Dub wins NBA/Sprite Slam Dunk contest in St Paul

Really SICK jumps and dunks !

vid didn't work so i edited:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now , after stating that i am an admirer of T-Dub and i think he's one of the best leapers alive , i cant help noticing this pic:




We've talked about those specific rims again.
He is 5'9'' so he needs 51'' to touch head at rim.
This looks like eyes to rim ( trying to normalise the distortion ) which is another 4-5'' and his body is leaning too.
So if this rim stands at 10' , this is a legit 55+'' jump

I don't wanna be the one who says it , im just posting the pic and the numbers... LOL

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Short rim, obviously. The promoters have every reason to let the dunkers do the most ridiculous shit possible. Ergo, a 9'6" or 9'8" rim.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

nice vid.. t-dub is my favorite power dunker, without a doubt.

i agree that the rims are low, 9'8 at lowest but probably around 9'10.. everyone gets way higher on those rims, and they look damn low.

but i have no doubt t-dub can hit his head on a legit 10' on his best jump... too much footage of him getting that high on so many rims. :)

Agreed , id go for 9'9'' to 9'10''
And i do agree T-Dub can get 51'' to get his head at rim consistently.
This one was just pushing it too much , and i hate the 10' label the rim has on it , its like its saying "please , believe me , im 10'... i may look lower but im telling you , im 10..."
