CANADIAN DUERS...WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY IN THIS VIDEO!!!???!!!
He's some Canadian high school basketball player, I think. He's having some sort of dunk contest at his school and does the most amazing dunks, including:

* dunking with his arm through the rim.

* dunking over a guy, literally, jumping over a 6-foot tall guy standing straight up.

* dunking from the foul line, ala Dr. J in the slam dunk contest in the 70s.

Check out this video. And please, if you can identify him, tell me who he is because I want my Nets to sign him!!

1. He's a future NBA player.
Maybe. If he has team skills as well.

3. Or Magic, Kareem, et al.
But even with the devolution of the quality of hoops in the NBA, most impact players today still have a good sense of teamwork. The problem is that now it's rare to get 5 such guys on the floor at the same time.

4. Not Canadian, but that is Henry Bekkering
I had seen his dunks from another hoops site before, and he is ridiculous. Not sure about the rest of his game, but his dunks are easily NBA level now. He's at Eastern Washington (http://www.ewu.edu/x11499.xml) now, but redshirted last year.
