Wow.
You can't say much more about this slam dunk from an American highschool basketballer, that's got everyone around the world watching!
Meet Derrick Jones
Derrick is the same height as the legendary Michael Jordan, and can seemingly dunk just as well too.
But at this stage - he's yet to play in the NBA. But there's plenty of time.
The video you're about to watch from the Springford small forward is his own take on Michael Jordan’s iconic jam from the free throw line at the 1988 Dunk Contest, where he performs a full windmill before slamming the ball in the hoop.
The good news is, Derrick Jones will play with the University of Nevada Las Vegas next season. Let's hope his teammates can get him into slam dunk position as much as possible!
“One of the things that separates me is my athleticism,” Jones says.
“When I get to the lane I just use my legs and jump higher than anybody else.”
Check it out and share it around - it's one amazing display of athleticism!
"Stay Fit, Stay Flexed!"
