Sweet lord this kid has hops.
Most of us spent our entire young lives wishing that we could dunk. We tried so hard to get our youthful bodies up to the point where we could at least touch the rim, or for most of us, the net.
Some people are just born with a natural jumping talent, like this 5’2 kid who can dunk better than 97% of the world’s population will ever be able to.

I could be mistaken, but it’s likely that this kid could jump over his own clone. It’s not certain how old he is or how good at basketball he is outside of dunking a ball better than anyone else in his school, but he looks to be young.
Could we be witnessing a more modern Muggsy Bougues? It’s possible, but not probable. It’s an impressive dunk, but the kid is still likely to grow taller and stronger. He’s 5’2 now and Bogues is 5’3, there’s no way he stops growing at what looks like the 7th or 8th grade.
John Calipari won’t be beating this kid’s door down to get him in at the University of Kentucky for approximately seven and a half months before they inevitably lose in the Sweet 16 and he goes pro, but that’s okay. With a jump like that, the kid is bound to get some coach somewhere to take a chance on him, and he’ll always be able to win bets on the pickup court if he wants to hustle some extra cash.
