For Jordan Kilganon, dunking is more than just a play that happens in basketball. It’s a sport in itself — and a career, and a lifestyle.
The native of Sudbury, Ontario, didn’t come up with dreams of playing professionally. There wasn’t a basketball player whom he deeply admired. And he wasn’t even a huge fan of the NBA. Kilganon just had a passion for jumping as high as possible to creatively slam the ball. At 15 years old, he practiced on eight-foot rims, then worked his way up to nine feet. Now, he’s doing it at regulation size — and at a top-notch level.
You might have seen him at NBA All-Star Weekend in February, when he brought the crowd to its feet after completing his signature dunk entitled “scorpion.”
He not only impressed the fans, but several NBA players as well … and he did it all while wearing jeans.
