WATCH: Guy dunks over human fireball, somehow still loses contest
The finale of 'The Dunk King' was hot
In case you didn't see it (if you live in the eastern time zone you definitely didn't), the finale of "The Dunk King" aired last night on TNT following the Thunder-Warriors game.
The show consisted of four episodes in which professional dunkers (yes, that's a thing) tried to outdo each other with aerial displays of athleticism.
Kenny Dobbs wasn't about to be upstaged, and he pulled out something we've never seen before for his second dunk of the finale -- he dunked over a man who was literally on fire.
The guy holding the ball, presumably a stuntman, was doused in flames just prior to the dunk. Dobbs jumped over him, snatching the ball from his hands and completing the two-hand windmill.
Immediately after the dunk, the human fireball was pulled aside and extinguished, leaving the judges and crowd in awe.
The best part of the story: Dobbs didn't even win the contest.
He lost out to 5-foot-5 Porter Mayberry, who brought home the trophy by throwing down a vicious slam over 7-foot-1 judge Shaquille O'Neal.
Sure it's impressive, but you can't blame Dobbs for being a little upset with that decision.
