I used to be able to dunk....not like that...but dunk anyhow. Of course, that was when I was about 70 lbs lighter than I am now and maybe about 15 years younger.
It was hard to get a frame of reference on that guy. He may have been like 6'8+ or so. Plus not sure if that was a 10' hoop or not. Maybe it was, but I'm sceptical.

Yea, he can jam; but can he play. There's a big difference. Quite impressive. No one will ever out do "The Spud". Webb literally defied gravity.

The guy is 6'5" or 6'6" depending on where you look and it was a regular rim. It was a high school all star slam dunk contest.

Anybody who is 5'3 and stars in the NBA, let alone makes it to the NBA, deserves a little kudos!

Boykins Breaks NBA Record for OT Points

The smallest player in the NBA did something no one "” big, small or medium "” had ever done. Earl Boykins broke the league record for points in an overtime period, scoring 15 of Denver's 21 points as the Nuggets, without two key players, beat the Seattle SuperSonics (news) 116-110 on Tuesday night.
The 5-foot-5 guard broke the record of 14 overtime points set by Butch Carter of Indiana against Boston on March 20, 1984.
Boykins didn't know he had set a record.
"Actually, I was overdue to play well here," said Boykins, who made four of six shots in overtime and finished with 18 points. "I'd never played well here in my career. I was aware of that. That's one record I was aware of. I just wanted to play well for myself."
In the first four quarters, Boykins hit one of six shots. He said he was determined to contribute after Carmelo Anthony sprained his right ankle early in the fourth quarter. The Nuggets also played without Kenyon Martin, who missed the game with a case of strep throat.
"I began to get more aggressive at the offensive end. I think my teammates did a great job of getting me the ball every time down the court. The guys were looking for me," Boykins said.
"Earl was just doing what we needed him to do," said interim coach Michael Cooper, now 3-7 since taking over the Nuggets on Dec. 28. "Again, he's just like a little waterbug out there. He creates mismatches and when he gets them, he always has the mismatch in speed. So I was just letting him go."
