Move over Vince Carter!

That head is clearly above the rim...not bad for a Sophomore in High School!

Somebody please tell me he got some extra lift by hitting the kid who was trying to draw the charge.
That clip is just unreal. Anybody figure out what his vertical is?

Can Dolan buy that draft pick now? Yeah, I know, we have to trade half the team away first...

..And this kid is still in HS? Wow, his Verticle is crazy!!! With that said, I still go with Vince being that he jumped over a 7 footer but this kid's explosion to the rim is amazing....

Great dunk, but it looks like he got an extra bit of height by kicking off of the defender. You can see he raises again after the contact.

Yep....I had to take another look a few times. He spring boards off of dudes chest.

Still has major hops, but he gained another 2 inches mid flight, thanks to a little chest lift.

He's still a rim high dunker....But in this click he was 2 inches above the rim......He appears to have Gerald Green type hops, when he blew out that candle during the dunk contest.

Lol I've watched this video a 100 times and paused it at the beginning of 0:06 second mark of the side angle video...he doesn't plant off the guy's chest, he knees in him the face. His right foot is actually near the defender's gut. In theory, Dukes has no where to plant, and the contact should actually impede his vertical jump.

Just truly impressive and mind boggling at the same time.

Oh dear, that poor kid who collapsed after being dunked on so ferociously!- looks like that will haunt him for the rest of his life like a Vietnam flashback.

I wonder what people with that kind of leaping ability would do if they didn't play basketball or do high jump- would they just spend their time leaping unnecessarily to get stuff from high up shelves? I'd probably want to show off as much as possible, but the opportunities aren't that great.

You make a career shilling for "jump shoes" and "dunkman vertical leap program" products.

None of which have ever contributed in the least to your ability to rub your nose on the rim, but hey, it's a living.
