Victor Dukes, a High School Sophomore, Somehow Ended Up Above the Rim on This Dunk
Victor Dukes is a 6’3″ sophomore at Nettleton High School in Arkansas. During a recent game, Dukes went down the lane and dunked on an opponent. The dunk is almost indescribable and looks fake. He goes up to dunk and just appears to keep rising. At the peak of his jump he somehow has his head above the rim and has put his arm through the basket up to his elbow. It doesn’t look like he stepped on his opponent, but that’s the only explanation for someone being that high off the ground. The only other explanation I can come up with is that a thousand tiny angels grabbed him by the jersey and pulled him higher.
Here’s another angle via @Jose3030. It looks even less real.

The kid he dunked on apparently died or was too ashamed to get up afterwards.

From what I can tell it looks like he launches off his right foot in mid-air which is resting on that helpless defender’s knee.
So…yes, I think he did push off. Still awesome.

Unless he simultaneously shoved his junk into a defender’s face then I don’t see what’s so homoero–, I mean, great about this.

yep, he launched off the guy’s junk, which is why the dude couldn;t get up

It’s also simple physics. You can’t accelerate once you’ve left the ground.
