per FoxSports:

This has to be fake. Doesn’t it?

A player allegedly named Javonte Douglas allegedly broke the laws of physics by throwing down a ridiculous putback dunk in a game for the College of Central Florida, which allegedly is a junior college in Ocala, Fla.

Words don’t do the dunk justice. We’ve watched it over and over, trying to detect the place where it was edited, but we can’t find it.


Go Gophers!!
 


Looks to be pushing up off some shoulders

I don't think he was pushing up. I think he was pushed up. It appears that one teammate (15) and one opposing player (23) were jumping at the same time. 15 looks like he puts his shoulder into the guys crotch, and 23 helps him get higher by putting his forehead in the guys @sshole. I don't think the defender on the far side had any effect on the jump. He has hops, to be sure, but if you watch any part of his body, head, shoulders, hips, etc. it looks like he gets "helped" up by about 6" when the other players help him get some extra air. And that amount can look pretty incredible because it looks so unusual, since we've seen so many people make prodigious dunks.
 

I don't know, it looked like even before the "help", dude's eyes were at the rim. But they did help him basically float up there the extra time he needed to really put the dunk down, cause I don't think he stays up there long enough to catch the rebound without them below him. But the height of his jump, that looked like it was pretty much all him to me.
