Thank you! I've been saying this for years. Every kid who likes basketball dreams of dunking. There just needs to be a consistent, reliable way to judge winners (as reliable as skateboarding, rhythmic dancing, surfing, and breaking at least). It's also possible that women would need to keep the sports equal (which I also think would be awesome; just do it on 9 or 9.5ft). Who has the phone number for the IOC? Let's make this happen.
Donovan Hawkins is the Best Dunker ever! Never seen someone that explosive and that smooth. Plus he punches everything in like hes jumping off a tramopline, shits wild
I don't know what to say, the level is HIGHER AND HIGHER. I thought with Guy Dupuy, Werm, Air Up, etc etc it was the peak, NO, THIS GENERATION IS SICK 🫢🏀
"Donovan Hawkins will be the GOAT! This boy is something else. In the near future, he will dominate all the elite dunkers on Earth-his potential is undeniable."
@@Dunkademics my wife wants to show her friend who’s a fan I’m in a dunkademics video. If she can’t do that then my life as a dunker was a failure. 🤣. Dont give it too me though. I know what I must do
I would love to make it on this channel but I have a radial tear in my meniscus that is unfixable without surgery and I’ve been dealing with it for 2 years about so once I get my surgery I will be on one of these vids at least cause I’m only 6 foot at 21 yrs old but one of my main dreams is to make it on this channel with at least one dunk and I’ll be the happiest man alive so can some of yall hype me up to at least show one dunk on this channel , love this channel fr , all yall dunkers that been seen at least once on this channel , major love from Kaden Lamb (me) ❤❤❤
That hoop looks a couple inches low. I wonder if they lower it a bit for these contests. I could be wrong but these hoops just look low in these contests
They ok..havent seen anyone palm the ball and do sumthin w it consistently. Waiting on that. All these dunks look identical. They are worthy dunkers, but we need more style.
@@DunkademicsOfficial It cant more simplified than that. Do you have content where dunkers are using ONE HAND palming the ball. NOT CUFFING or using gravity to hold the ball to replace not being able to palm the ball. I'm talking about palming the ball with their strong fingers and not losing control and doing something special with it. Like a Dr J, or a Michael Jordan, or a Vince Carter or a James Worthy or Larry Nance Sr. and Jr. People like that. Put those clips up, if you don't have them yet. Go find players who have big hands who can be creative. This is one of the glaring issues the NBA dunbk contest has right now. Its failing miserably. I guarantee you if you get a few guys that can PALM THE BALL consistently with no issues. It will be a game-changer! Average people cant do those things. The whole bouncing props and jumping over people is played out. Just being honest. Dont hate the messenger, focus on the message.
@@hainavidotcom style ?? Palming. Bruh if any of the dunkers you mentioned were doing 360 between the legs or behind the back, you woulda literally said they are wizards but they are all doing east bays at best ?? With lower verticals and because they are just more known you are tryna hate on MUCH BETTER DUNKERS
@@hainavidotcom I said you don't know what you're talking about because you listed 4 dunkers who had almost zero creativity whatsoever...they relied on their palming too much, and didn't do anything that was actually difficult like putting the ball behind their backs, between their legs, or under both legs. The MJ/Dr J dunks are all played out and not as impressive as what these guys are doing
@@arielfokoua9740 wtf are you talking about. The reason why you keep doing these low-grade played-out prop dunks is THEY CAN'T PALM THE BALL. TRYNA? You mean trying to. You disagree and call it hating? No, it's called perspective! None of these guys in the video are palming the ball. Why is that? THEY CAN'T DO IT~! Here is the kicker, if you think those guys I mentioned can't go through the legs. You don't know basketball at all. stop talking! Vince can do all of that in his sleep AND PALM THE BALL! in his hey day. Jason Richardson could palm the ball and do all of this too. He just jammed the ball over 40 years if age! MJ didn't have to and he could if he wanted. his aura and 48+ vert was enough. These guys in the video have no aura whatsoever. They can jam and dunk, not taking that away as stated previously. But their aura their legs the way they go about it is awkward. NO STYLE no flare! Find me some guys today that is young and can palm the ball and do all of the above. I know they out there somewhere. SEND ME THE FOOTAGE!
The white dude #37 is the most explosive. if I remember correctly, #1 claimed him has the the highest vertical in history (51.5 inches), but he is not too explosive. Jordan Killigan is OK.
50.5”, not 51.5”. And he tested it with everyone you see here. He tested it twice actually. It was legit. Hawkins (#37) is probably the most explosive dunker, but his vertical is a few inches lower than Isaiah’s.
Isiah looks kinda unsmooth since he bulked up. Still jumps super high but it doesnt look as fluent anymore. Espacially the landings look like his weight is getting to him
I think a big part of that is him being injured. Before this show, he hadn't dunked in 5 weeks, so he was a little slow and clunky (compared to him healthy)
1. Donovan Hawkins (GOAT) 2. Jordan Kilganon 3. Connor Barth 4. Rafal Lipek (The first person to shatter the perception that whites cannot jump) - These four spikers are the four best spikers in history, my ranking may vary depending on your preference.
I definitely think he would level up if he started doing more off the lob stuff instead of self-bounce...but pretty crazy what he can do with just that
Olympics should include dunk contest as a sport, this is peak athleticism
fr
it 1000% should be in the olympics, especially looking at some of the other sports that get in
@@DunkademicsOfficial breakdancing…..

Gerald green was that explosive and smooth but Donovan has wayyy more creativity to his arsenal!!!

Idk about that t dub could dunk with the best of them he could do all of these dunks with no problem and being only 5ft7
I don't know what to say, the level is HIGHER AND HIGHER. I thought with Guy Dupuy, Werm, Air Up, etc etc it was the peak, NO, THIS GENERATION IS SICK 🫢🏀
This shit was about 10 000 times better than the shitty NBA dunk contest.
no shit
Here because I love the game and admire everyone in the dunking space right now. Thanks for inspiring me.
lets go!
this was so fun to watch in person. great to meet you and everyone else
dunk camp is always a blast! meeting everybody in the dunk community and dunking together...can't match that
@@DunkademicsOfficial they gotta put this in 2028 olympics
"Donovan Hawkins will be the GOAT! This boy is something else. In the near future, he will dominate all the elite dunkers on Earth-his potential is undeniable."
he's obsessed with dunking, is tall, and has natural talent...he will be scary for a long time
These dunks are fking crazy. Way better than the nba dunk contest
that kick in the head at 6:50
haha whoops
Some explosive dunkers in that group!
Hawkins and Isaiah are both amazing, but Jordan is still on top in my book.
Talk about fuckin bounce dammmm the NBA should have these kind of dudes vs NBA players in the nba dunk contest
Cant beat dunkademics, that youtube algorithm ain't doing u justice
appreciate it!
Incredible content and athletes. Thanks 🙏
Donovan Hawkins is something else 😅
ya he's insane
Donovan 😵💫
he's leveled up like crazy these last few months
1:49 that was crazy
Tyler herro casually being there
I can’t even imagine what dunks these little kids watching will be doing in 10 years.
should be crazy!
Thanks for that story from your childhood
Pretty insane! New guy was great as well. Time for dunk king 3!
would be dope to have another season for sure
Nega with glasses keeps walking though
0:30 when a dunk dont even look real is when you know he's on another level
🔥🔥🔥🔥 best dunkers in the world! Make this an Olympic sport!!!
yessir
Hoopers my parents said if I hit 35k they’d buy me a professional camera begging you guys please🏀💪🏻
Go buy some bot subs foh
@@ehudbattleaxesoftmhBROWARD954 man where do they sale them
0:27 why is no one talking about how insanely high he got up for this windmill!?!?
2:28 👀 omg thats sick
indeed. The one after would have been the sickest
2.28 ok ok
😮
this is awesome but im 2:30 in and red shirt is insane.
Hawkins is unreal of course, but Sutherland going off one foot every time is still as insane as ever.
One Foot God dunks are so Aesthetic 😍 !!
i am a fan from China.i hope these excellent dunkers will have a show in china.
4:10 man... I give up💀💀
Hawkins is a beast!! My lord
They should participate in the NBA allstars dunk contest.
peak athleticism
1 foot goat is special!
his knee was messed up too, and still jumping like this
5:38 best Dunk
Ben Casey is ELITE
he definitely surprised me. super consistent, just needs to add to the bag now!
Nice vidéo
One foot jumps are so much better looking
I guess it's personal preference...I generally like 2 foot better, but Southerland makes a good case for 1 foot
@@DunkademicsOfficial I guess I'm bias in a opposite way, I am a 2 foot jumper and been jealous of 1 footers always

hope u heal up!
is the ring shortened ?
it's 3/4 of an inch low
Each one of these dunkers need their own sneakers by Nike
would be awesome
Yea ok 😂😂😂
What was the height of the vertec that only Donovan and Isaiah got?
12'0" was where they stopped. They both can go higher, but they both wanted to get back to dunking instead
💯💯💯💯
Long hair is so unexpected
Travis is a self-bounce beast
That hoop looks a couple inches low. I wonder if they lower it a bit for these contests. I could be wrong but these hoops just look low in these contests
this rim was less than an inch low

How much Donovan tested?
15 FEET
he touched 12ft, which would give him like a 46.5" max jump...he could have gone higher tho, but they stopped after 12

Ya, Isaiah has peaked at 50.5"
For this show, Isaiah hadn't dunked in 5 weeks due to knee pain, so he was a bit rusty

This rim was 9'11", but nobody lowered it...that's just what happens when you dunk on a rim too much. Sometimes it bends a little

@@bee3148 you can say cap all you want, we measured the rim...Jordan Kilganon has video of the measurement too

Literally all you comment is “Low rim low rim” On every video 😂 Straight up hater
Although the white ones jump high, but they have absolutely no plastic in the air, absolutely wooden movements.
hmmm...I wouldn't say Kilganon looks plastic. He's got some good fluidity in the air
First we couldn't jump now we have no style. Seems like an insecure and slightly ray cist statement.
