I was going to say, it seems kind of dumb to spend that much time trying to dunk a basketball. HOWEVER, it seems to have worked out quite well for him. Kudos.Here's a really well done six minute mini documentary on a guy who wouldn't give up until he could dunk a basketball, a very heartwarming story actually..might have to sit thru a 10 sec commercial but well worth it!!
