Five-Foot-Five High Schooler Takes Elevator Up for Disgusting, Physics-Defying Jam
Posted Feb 27, 2016
Lord have mercy. Where was Melvin Lee at the NBA Dunk Contest? Sure, this is not Aaron Gordon running the ball below his legs as he sits high atop a mascot, but the mere fact that the 5'5"Lee can reach the rim is insane. He's four inches shorter than Nate Robinson! So when the Riverside University High School (Milwaukee) guard threw down over two defenders? Forget posters—that's the kind of dunk they make statues out of.
