Contrary to Popular Belief, White Men Can Jump

By Chris Mottram
This full court alley oop was certainly a mistake (at least, the pass part of it), but for the sake of personal enjoyment, I’m gonna make believe that these two kids practice this everyday:

The guy on the dunking end is 6’2” Oregon high school senior J.J. Ross. And just cause he’s six-feet-plus doesn’t mean dunking comes easy. I’m 5’10” and am quite certain that if you gave me four inches, I’d still struggle to touch rim.
The local news station has the story, full of quotes from the giddy youngster, but his coach had by far the best reaction: “It was kind of a big deal.”
