"The best, however, came with time winding down at the end of the game.
After grabbing a rebound, "The Main Event" fired a long pass down to a wide-open Fontenette. After taking a few stutter steps, Fontenette jumped into the air, did two complete 360-degree turns and slammed the ball.
I was stunned. The crowd was speechless. Even the players on the court didn't know how to react.
"I've been planning that dunk for two years," Fontenette said, unable to wipe the smile off his face. "That was the first time I had ever done it on a 10-foot goal. I've done it on a 9-and-a-half before, but never a 10-foot."
Was that dunk even humanly possible' Apparently so.
Once everyone realized what had just happened, the AND 1 players lifted Fontenette onto their shoulders as he flashed a "Hook 'em Horns" sign.
Fontenette has complained in a recent AND 1 commercial that people have been claiming his 360-degree between-the-legs dunk as their own.
"Everyone has been saying that dunk is theirs, but I'd been doing it since high school,' he said. "So I had to do a dunk I knew hadn't been done before."
Until Wednesday night, I thought a 720-degree dunk was a move reserved for over-the-top video games. I stand corrected. "
