720 degree dunk
 
Was that really a 720 degree dunk? or more like 540 degrees...

That's an extremely good question. Considering I have no clue what you're talking about...

I just got this link sent to me today. I'll bet this is what he is talking about.

Not sure if anyone cares or not to see it (so i'll post it anyway) but I do think it is worth seeing at least once as it is very very athletic and something you don't see every day.

2 rotations = 720 all the way

He's lucky...FED rule 547-2-4(a) states that if it was 721 degrees or more, it's a travel and no basket shall be awarded. 547-2-4(b) states, however, that if a player fails to complete a 720, thereby only spinning 719 degrees or less, a direct technical foul shall be called on the player AND the head coach shall lose use of the coaching box for the remainder of the game. :p :p

EDIT: I think these are the correct rule numbers...I don't have my books with me at work.

I'd love to see that get called, player goes up on a break-away and pulls down a hgood 720, it's so good it's like 730, and the official calls it off for travel xD I would like to see that players face :p

I thought maybe he was referring to the heat wave we've been having!

I found a cool video of that dunk and it turns out that guy who did it is part of the AND 1 Mix Tape Tour that is coming to Wachovia Center in Philly on August 19th. I'm definitely going. Anyone else?

In China, we mostly think it's 540 degrees~ but anyway, it's an amazing one!
