Sounds impossible and pretty exciting and if you go to the 2 minute mark of this scene from 'Rebound' you can see how it's done.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NGyUC5IG7eU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Supposedly the 6'1 Earl was able to pull this dunk off in games and supposedly the Rucker park crowd would &nbsp;go insane everytime he did it. &nbsp;The same can not be said for&nbsp;Gerald Green.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, Green participated in one of the most disappointing dunk contests of all-time and one of the reasons why the contest was so disappointing was because of this dunk. &nbsp;First off, it took a minute for them to cut the net which also caused a bored Charles Barkley to get annoyed. Then Kenny Smith spoiled the surprise by saying what dunk Green was about to attempt. Then Gerald Green missed the dunk 9 consecutive times during the timed round. &nbsp;Because the NBA changes the contest rules every year, Green was given another shot at making the dunk and he missed again. &nbsp;After receiving a score of 32, Green attempted the dunk one more time and made it but the reaction from the crowd, judges and announcers was far from that of the people in the Rebound clip above.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eEDWhQk7bE4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Later that year, Harlem Globetrotter Chris Staples did a better version of the dunk -
