In terms of sheer athletic brilliance, it's not going to beat Michael Jordan taking off from the foul line or a Dominique Wilkins windmill. But this dunk from a high school all-star game in Iowa does provide more than its share of entertainment value and sleight-of-hand impressiveness.
After winning the opening tip, one team lines up in a football shotgun formation, replete with a backwards through-the-legs hike. As confused defenders try to make sense of the situation, one player -- functioning as a Randy Moss-esque wide receiver -- sneaks behind the defense to flush down a lob from half court.
