That dunk is about two weeks younger than I am but you'd be hard-pressed to find a better in-game dunk.
Mesmerizing.

Is that a young(er) Dick Vitale doing the color commentary?

^^^ Not sure. It sounds sort of like him but the voice is also nagging at me as if he might be an sEC commentator despite being on ESPN. Still, it might be.

I remember watching that and was just amazed. He took off and kept going higher and higher. That IMO is UKs all time best dunk. Thanks for the memory.

Yes. Only 3 or so years into his broadcasting career.

Almost uses the defender as a launching pad. Springs off of him.
