720 degree dunk, done DURING a game....
"Taurian "Air Up There" Fontenette gained more than 15 minutes of fame when he executed what many are calling the first ever 720-degree dunk in Houston on an And1 Mixtape Tour stop June 28. That's twice around, ending with a slam. The tape became the most popular at ESPN's site earlier this week and has been shown endlessly on airwaves and downloaded continuously on websites worldwide.

No it's not. My mates told me about this, it was done on an AND1 mixtape tour stop.
They are wearing AND1 uniforms (note the shorts length, prohibited in both the NBA and NCAA).
There is also 'AND1' on the court.
AND there are spectators on both baselines, also prohibited in basically ANY form of organised ball.

why are there two sets of players then? opposing teams i mean.
oh and to stem the argument..i DOUBT they would drop the ring height...these niggers are like 6'7 anyways...

Haven't you seen a mixtape Brendan?
They play streetball against each other for fun, there are basically no rules, call your own fouls etc etc.
They just use it as a template to do **** that looks good.

Also notice the lack of enthusiam from the defenders, they simply walk down the court not bothering to try and stop him. Definately an AND1 game.

Also agreed. I downloaded and watched it in slow-motion. He only does a 540 degree spin when he dunks it, after he's put the ball thru he spins the extra 180 before landing.

Nar mate, some of these guys are chosen purely on their hops. Others are chosen for their handles.
You'll notice that a lot of the times they play on college courts in the US. I've got mix tapes 1-5 here on DVD, and I think I've got 6 and 7 lying around somewhere. You can tell they are definately 10ft because you see interviews with the guys and some are 6'7" etc etc, and it's easy enough to gauge how tall the hoops are when they're under them.
