The #DriveByDunkChallenge has people dunking on strangers’ hoops all across America

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

A new craze is taking the internet by storm and you can take part ... if you can dunk. It’s called the “Drive By Dunk Challenge,” and the concept is simple: Drive around in your car with a basketball in hand, and dunk on every hoop you see in strangers’ driveways.

The first video began picking up steam late on Tuesday night. Now, more and more people are taking to the streets to post videos of their drive-by dunking.

What we haven’t seen yet is anyone confront would-be dunkers in their driveway. Most of the videos show cars parked outside the house, meaning it’s likely someone is home, but how do you react to a lightning-fast dunk in your driveway? It’s the equivalent of leaving a flaming bag of poop on someone’s doorstep, but with much less cleanup.

Here’s the disclaimer part: Be careful dunking out there, folks. If the house looks like something out of True Detective and has a milk crate nailed to a tree — maybe don’t dunk on it. Similarly, if there are “No Trespassing” signs around the house, don’t dunk there.

Any other rim? Well that’s just fair game.
