MANILA, Philippines – This white dude has some serious hops.

Tyler Inman, a senior college basketball player of Southwestern Christian University, is going viral after winning the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) All-Star Dunk Contest.

The 6-foot-5 Inman threw down an array of jaw-dropping rim rattlers including a windmill switcheroo going up with the ball in his right hand then switching over to his left to finish it off. He also did a baseline, between-the-legs, reverse jam that could’ve easily beaten any of the dunks performed in the NBA All-Star Dunk Contest in recent years.

But Inman saved the best for last.

Are you familiar with the free throw line dunk? It’s been a while since anyone’s taken off from the 15-foot line — the most famous for doing so are NBA legends Julius Erving and Michael Jordan.

Brent Barry, also a white guy, jumped from the foul line in the 1996 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. But none of the three did it off a lob bounce pass from mid-court which makes Inman’s dunk all the more impressive.
