You should definetly try out for the NBA, because they need someone that have hops like you and skills. And I emailed, 2k Sports asking, to put you on NBA 2K9, with the AND1 players. So I can dunk with you all the time. .

What’s up T.J. i think you’re the best dunker in the world and you’re only 6’2. I want to dunk just like you, so what did you do an oreder for you to jump high, was it Calf Raises, squats. Do calfs get you hops or, thighs. And how many calf raises did you do, or squats you do. .

Its a fake! Its not a 720, he jumped in the front position then made one spin and dunked in the opposite position he jumped and finish the second spin with the landing, its not a 720, its a 540, it was a SPIN DUNK SPIN. And why you call nerds measuring, look at these people in the arena, they’re all blind, if you were a fan of basketball you would know that wasn’t a 720. 720 is 2 spins in the air and a dunk, SPIN SPIN DUNK not SPIN DUNK SPIN. He Jumped and dunk in the opposite postion he dunk. Its a fake! .
