Video: UNC Walk-On Caleb Ellis's Between-the-Legs Dunk

Posted Mar 2, 2019
Usually it is the scholarship players who complete the dunks that make you say 'Wow!' But, before Tuesday's game against Syracuse, it was UNC walk-on Caleb Ellis who raised eyebrows. In the warmup layup line, Ellis, a 6-foot-4 guard, threw the ball up, let it bounce, caught it in midair, and went between-the-legs before dunking it with one hand. (Inside Carolina)
