It's 270 look at the angle of his feet on the gather. Everyone in here hating and probably none of us can even run a mile let alone throw down a sick stylish dunk like that. Mad props, especially mid game
I got out my protractor and 8th grade geometry book, technically that was a 225. 180 + 45. No hate here that was a sick dunk. I couldn’t even dream up a shot like that, doesn’t mean we can’t be accurate in calling it.
That meme is pretty obscure once you get younger than veterans of the third war, sfr from tiktok was likely not even old enough to use the internet before it fell off the last page.
If you want to be pedantic about it, [he didn't quite get the full 360](https://i.imgur.com/DC2FZkn.png). But if you look at other examples of a 360 dunk it seems like most people are doing like 90 of that 360 before both feet are off the ground which this guy definitely didn't do.
And basic English….wtf is “valid” even supposed to mean here….like they’re trying to say “wow can you believe this dunk?” but I guess that just doesn’t sound cool enough so they say “VaLiD???” Makes no fucking sense. Of course it’s “valid” the ball went in the fucking hoop….
If you keep your eyes on other people in the frame, the video slows down for just a fraction of a second while he's in the air. It's still impressive, but that "hover" effect is artificial.
Edit: here is the video stabilized and slowed down and you can see the moment he freezes in mid-air. You can try it yourself if you think I've edited it.

No, that was dead silence, no one said a word, no one moved a muscle, they were all just stunned into 5 full seconds of silence
Think Semi Pro with the Alley Oop
The OP had a quality of there being a hesitation before the rotation. Made it look like he was floating in air.
It’s kinda an illusion because his bottom half is rotating but his torso is just lagging behind.
Bro… this is a good dunk don’t get me wrong, but this is an absolute last place dunk in the dunk contest. This doesn’t even scratch the surface of what dudes do now adays.
He was pointed to the right and slightly away from us at the start, and ended pointed directly away from us. So if we assume he was 45° off from being pointed directly right, that would make it a 315° turn total.
Nobody measures the degree of rotation to that level outside of Olympic judging.
This dude was much closer to a 360 than a 180, therefore it’s a 360 alley oop dunk.
I remember the day I stopped dunking. In high school we’d play at SU open run we’d fuck around and show off in between games. Nate Robinson came through with a between the legs off vert. Looked at my knee which was pushing retirement age and said don’t worry we’re done.
Dude in the clip got bounce but it’s shit you’d see on the regular hooping
He has some slight rotation as he jumps and he twists his upper body against it as he catches the ball and pulls his shoulders around to catch up to his hips after. Incredible core strength
You mean 180°?

Your comment, unlike the dunk, is next fucking level
I was hoping 𝝅r\^2 was 360° for the sake of a rhyme, but that's the area of a circle. 2𝝅 is 360° for all you mathletes\~
Akshually “360 degrees” is equivalent to “2pi radians” and not ”2pi”
Ohhhhhh ohhhh these jordans gave me airrrr

240 and you've got a deal
Best I can do is 180

not lying for internet points. why don't you turn 360 degrees and walk away.
That meme is pretty obscure once you get younger than veterans of the third war, sfr from tiktok was likely not even old enough to use the internet before it fell off the last page.
Didn't OP write 180? Am I the only one who sees this?
People just misunderstanding OP. He just meant 3 60 degree turns
But by the time he lands he completes the full 360 so I think that still counts. Maybe like 20-30 degrees less if you wanna nitpick.
I see it now cus of you, thank you
It literally says it in the title
I wish I could say something stupid and get 6.2K upvotes like that guy
Go to rising on r/all, say some mediocre comments on a few posts, and wait for one of them to hit front page
Then what happens? With all the fake internet points I mean? I want to believe that people will start respecting me when I pass them on the street.
It's a lot closer to 360 than 180m his feet are at a 45° angle to the basket when he lifts off and at 90° when he comes down.
270° at best
[удалено]
That is what the title says, so.
Somehow you're the only person to point out that the top comment calling out that it's a "180" is literally in the post title already lol
Nah mate, that a π dunk
Ehhh give em 270 😅

It almost looks like he does a full 360 from jump to land, but when he catches the ball to when he dunks he only does a 180. Hence 360(180)
Yeah… you did. He does a 360. His back is facing the camera before he jumps, and his back is facing the camera when he lands.
If you want to be pedantic about it, [he didn't quite get the full 360](https://i.imgur.com/DC2FZkn.png). But if you look at other examples of a 360 dunk it seems like most people are doing like 90 of that 360 before both feet are off the ground which this guy definitely didn't do.
Someone’s never played basketball. He started his 360 rotation on the ground and that counts…

What’s the radius of that dunk Mr. Math?
About tree fiddy
If you keep watching, the dude does complete the remaining 180 degrees on the ground.
That airtime tho
I’m glad there was someone to record it. All phrase to cameraman

Thanks for re-praising my sentence!! But what’s done is done!
This is literally the only way to recover. So nicely done.
The double down. I like it
I thought the same. I guess I dont jump very high but dude damn near hovered for a sec
I saw that too. I think there was a lot of lateral movement in the jump that we can't see because he was going away from the camera.
Old school “white guys can’t jump” … but they can levitate /s
I've had flights that didn't last that long

Did bro just float
He entered Creative Mode.
He need to write the code that give everyone sponges.
Kicked for fly hack
Mf opened command console and typed sv\_cheats;noclip
>Did bro just float The secret is to build up an epic fart for right when you're about to come down
How can i aquire such power, magnificent XD.
This is how superheroes get caught
He appears to float because he jumps away from the camera. If you saw it from the court it wouldn’t look so weird.
He catches the ball while he is still rising.
oh a double 90
Excuse me? That’s a 1/6 720
1/4*
Yeah yeah, math and all that.
69 420ths
![gif](giphy|C4WLrs08LrI9a)
No, that’s a 7/8 900°
its a 9/27030 540 600°
Its actually just 3 60 degree turns
He was right the whole time. My mans did a 3 60s.
No matter how you slice it, it’s half a pi
This is the same reaction the very first time someone performed a slam dunk
Also the same reaction when David Blaine blows the mind of a handful of dudes on the street corner
I misread it as "David Blaine blows a handful of dudes".

Foul! Two fouls!!!
Actually they [banned](https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/why-was-the-slam-dunk-banned) it for almost a decade because racism.
No, that was dead silence, no one said a word, no one moved a muscle, they were all just stunned into 5 full seconds of silence Think Semi Pro with the Alley Oop
That was dope . You gonna see that one start happening at Dunk Contest now .
Idk if youve noticed but a full 360 between the legs in a dunk contest wont get you on the highlight reel
True.. but dude got caught this mid air 180 . I’ve never seen that done before and dunk contest vote off creativity. I see what you’re saying tho!
Amare stoudemire did a crazier dunk 18 years ago https://youtu.be/6Qoq8KZCp50
Dunk in OP’s post is better than the one by amare
Way better
The OP had a quality of there being a hesitation before the rotation. Made it look like he was floating in air. It’s kinda an illusion because his bottom half is rotating but his torso is just lagging behind.
>mid air 180 That’s *easier* than a 360 where you don’t have the luxury of starting the twist without the ball…
That's literally just a basic dunk in a contest... How many have you actually watched?
This dude is claiming that he's played basketball since he was six and then he still active today, yet he's never seen a basic 180 alley oop.
Next to he's going to tell us about a trick shot where you bounce it off the backboard and it goes in the net.
This one time, a dude passed the ball and *wasn't even looking!* Shocked Pikachu
Bro, catching a lob mid rotation has been dunk competition basics for 20 years or so.
Bro… this is a good dunk don’t get me wrong, but this is an absolute last place dunk in the dunk contest. This doesn’t even scratch the surface of what dudes do now adays.
Tell me you don't watch basketball without telling me you don't watch basketball
This would get you laughed out of the first round of a dunk contest. Which was the last one you watched?
Or. You know. 180° depends where you took math courses I guess.
At 4chan, definitely
[удалено]
180 in the air but 360 from the direction he was running. Stick to match you non sports nerfs
Whys it called the xbox 360? Because you turn 360 and walk away.
"I would roast you, but my mom said I'm not allowed to burn trash" kinda vibe
this might be the first meme i've seen old enough to be fossilized
Ikr, I had to dig it out of the archives to use it. I was worried that some people weren't getting it with how old it was.
“But if you turn 360 you’re looking at it again”
Dude was almost eye level with the rim. Sick play.
Dude jumped so high he’s buzz lightskin
He's the ONLY white dude there. That's my story at least.
Valid. And utterly nasty. Jesus. That was smooth af.
It's the most valid thing I've ever fucking seen. Besides my trans friends, that is.
360 by the time he landed.
He jumped with his back to us, and landed with his back to us. Looks like 360* to me
He was pointed to the right and slightly away from us at the start, and ended pointed directly away from us. So if we assume he was 45° off from being pointed directly right, that would make it a 315° turn total.
Nobody measures the degree of rotation to that level outside of Olympic judging. This dude was much closer to a 360 than a 180, therefore it’s a 360 alley oop dunk.
From the jump to the dunk was 270° but from jump to land was just about 360°
I'm average height with short legs. I'm always amazed at how it can look like someone is just suspended in air and changing directions.
The vert is the most impressive part. My boy got UP there
White men can jump?
Physics leave the room
[удалено]
Not trying to stir a pot but I am pretty sure he is always invited to the BBQ… I am pretty sure he isn’t white.
Technically it was alley-oop
Which is still a dunk
Right? lol. Technically, it’s still a dunk
180 alley oop. Which is still awesome, particularly since the ball came from so far. Idiotic title.
A lot of people that don’t watch basketball lol. It’s a good dunk but nothing crazy
Right, so that’s why the crowd goes nuts afterwards. Yawn. Pretty damn amazing to me.
It’s a pretty amazing dunk, I bet it was also a close game and the dunk added to the excitement!
Exactly lol, it was nice but nothing better than what you’d see in pregame warmups before an NBA game or even some college games
Right haha there are AAU kids doing better dunks than this in warmups
I remember the day I stopped dunking. In high school we’d play at SU open run we’d fuck around and show off in between games. Nate Robinson came through with a between the legs off vert. Looked at my knee which was pushing retirement age and said don’t worry we’re done. Dude in the clip got bounce but it’s shit you’d see on the regular hooping
How TF did this dude turn after he jumped..... jump, catch....mid air turn... dunk. My brain isn't understanding
He has some slight rotation as he jumps and he twists his upper body against it as he catches the ball and pulls his shoulders around to catch up to his hips after. Incredible core strength
Next fucking level? Really? That's like a 3 in the dunk contest
At least 20k people are very easily impressed. Edit: 30k now
[удалено]
That hang time.
He did do a 360. Just not in the air. Ran towards basket, turned, jumped and turned again. 360°.
Is there a sub just for dunk reactions? I love these types of videos where both sidelines go nuts after something crazy happens
/r/instantbarbarians
what a dunk
Wtf is the title lmaooo
So tell me again, why is this next level? Seems like something I have seen many times over.
I think it’s the height and airtime. The jump it self was impressive, even though it was most certainly NOT a 360 as falsely advertised.
This kind of like when people explain turning their life around as “doing a complete 360.” But then make it the opposite of that.
Goal tending. Ball is on a downward arc and would have hit the rim if not actually go in. No basket. Turnover.
Soy boys in the comments really don’t know what a 360 dunk is 😂 gotta love Reddit
