We previously proclaimed the best dunker in the world but we might have been a tad bit premature… Jacob Tucker just wrapped up his senior year playing D-III hoops at Illinois College. Now the 5-foot-11 guard is embarking on a viral campaign to get in the NCAA Dunk Contest, boasting on a Facebook group that “small schools can produce big talent too.” He’s further stating the case with an incredible dunk highlight reel. Did we mention he claims a 50-inch vertical? That’s some serious ups. As you’ll see in the video, he basically needs FAA clearance just to play in a game. Bask in the basketball glory of Tucker’s reel after the JUMP

Chauncey Billups Becomes Knicks’ Leader, Top Playmaker in Win Over Heat

I’m pretty sure his next thoughts were “fuck passing, I’m Kemba Walker bitch!” as he ducked under Sims, tossed it off the backboard, and navigated through traffic for the put-back. I’d say give him an assist on the play, but that’s not how the stats work. Watch the video, which is reminiscent of a certain NBA star, after the JUMP…
