Wish they extended his time so he can actually do a dunk instead of just settling with that unsatisfying 2 finger tip in 😂

I grew up with a guy who was an awesome athlete. He was a crazy good tail back in football and didn't bother with basketball. He was 5'9" and like 190 pounds. He'd show up to the basketball courts with a 40oz beer in his hand and wearing flip flops. He'd stick his thumb in the beer to keep it from spilling and dunk from a stand still with either hand... In flip flops. He had the best smile, he'd smile and keep walking by as we all seethed with jealousy. Shout out to by guy Oochie.

Imagine training a whole year with this man, you would be jumping like Taiga Kagami

[Abdulfattah]

he didn’t even dunk it😂 paul threw it in. his bounce definitely evolved, i respect that though

[blakehager]

I feel bad for this guy all his brothers are over 6”0 and he is stuck at 5”8

[youwhoknowknewnot]

Props to both of y’all. 8wks shows how good of a coach and how natural of a talent he was. Very very impressed!

[benh]

Are we gonna talk about how he didn’t really dunk it at the end(9:03), the ball just kind fell in the hoop

[StreetballStrategies]

Color me impressed! I’m 5’8, got zero athletic genetics, and only been able to get maybe halfway up the net my whole life. I’m happy for this dude. I love the hard work.

[meowcat]

Man I literally screamed for the guy when I see him made that dunk at the end of the video! That's so inspiring! I actually can reach above 10'2 with a 5'9 height and about same wingspan as my height, but dunk just seems so far out of reach for me. But now it gives me a bit more encouragement and probably worth some hard work for my dream of dunking

[GITMachine]

Anyone else applaud after he hit that 10.6" marker? I love seeing people succeed like this.

[YungSwagless]

Can we talk about his pops crazy bounce

[cookerkids]

This guy is no average 5’8 dude. He started with a 30 inch vert and added 7 inches to that

[BasketballMediaYT]

He didn't dunk it the ball literally just went hoop and he touched it lol

After a long day of work, Kanye West goes to his Kanye Nest to take his Kanye Rest. He wakes up feeling his Kanye Best. Then he’ll get Kanye Dressed into his Kanye Vest to go on a Kanye Quest. He goes to church and becomes Kanye Blessed, then to a hotel room to be a Kanye Guest. Then to school to take his Kanye Test. He forgot to brush his teeth. Did he run out of Kanye Crest? His neighbor stole it, what a Kanye Pest

Who else here is a big fan of pjf and came from his ig

[JaqenHghar.]

Im surprising happy for this dude I've never heard of. He improved so much and worked so hard (at least thats they told us) and I paused it during his dunk and he had his entire hand above the rim so I know he can do it but it was such a let down to end this video with him just tapping a basketball that was already going to in...

[uriahlewis]

gotta respect the man in the end hes 5'8 and can technically dunk

[extremefitness]

Nobody recognising how he’s vertical was 30 inch before starting?

[Ryhillchibulls]

This seems like a big advertisement for this dudes company.

[nxtu.bapoc]

It low key didn’t look like he dunked it, it looked like the trainer threw it up and it went in but no hate
