High schooler completes actual free-throw line dunk

Unlike some other legends out there...

Shelby McEwen is a rising senior from Mississippi that isn’t in Rivals’ Top 150 for the Class of 2015. He’ll get plenty of national attention now after uncorking this left-handed free-throw dunk in the Jordan Brand First to Fly event Friday.


And that’s a real free-throw line dunk, unlike legendary slams from Julius Erving and Michael Jordan, which were both a good step inside the line. Observe:

There have been more impressive dunks -- witness Zach LaVine, for example -- but remember: McEwen is a rising high school senior. Future dunk contests of America should be on the lookout for him.
