    nope, you should ask Dr.Funk, he could tell you what exact game it was, but yeah i saw a highlight, and I saw it in an article.

    *sigh* VC never did a 540. Videos of it would be everywhere, and it would've been in the highlight reels for weeks. Heck, players never even really do full 360's.

    its actually its 1.5 spins 360+180=540, and it is very possible, i believe it was at the VC charity all-star game in Toronto in the middle of august, so you probably didn't hear about it, and actually i don't believe everything i hear...

    TheFranchise, players hardly do real 360's anyway...if you look at the point in which they started their jump and look at which way their body is facing when they dunk you will see it's not even a 360 90% of the time. VC has probably done only about 3-4 REAL 360s. Also to do a 540 you need so much body control it isn't even funny. That extra half spin throws people off so they can't do it. It also takes so much hang time to accomplish. VC has the body control and the hops to get as high as needed for a 540, however, he doesn't have the hangtime for it I don't think. He makes his dunks short, quick, and to the point. And like I said, we would've seen this for weeks upon weeks on Sportscenter while everyone on the internet would be sharing videos of it with one another. It didn't happen.

    Also, it doesn't matter if it was VCs charity game. Do you know how many highlight mixes are available on the internet of the charity game? So even if it was there we would've heard about it and seen it on one of those mixes.

    you guys obviously didnt take geometry... the franchise is right... 360 is a full spin... a 180 is facing 1 direction then facing the complete opposite... the the dunk would be a spin and a half...

    Thanks purehoops ^ finally someone has cleared up that a 180 is a half spin, a 540 is 1.5 spins.

    Well when i saw the clip he was on a fast break, and it was clearly a 540, 1.5 spins, he did a 360 infront of the net and landed at the side of the net from the 180 position landing. 360+180=540, and it was all in one motion in the air.

    Yeah i know what your talking about for people doing the 360's how its not fully, but how many people are going to measure to the exact degree? I saw the clip here on tv...

    He did not do a 540! Do you realize how much attention that would get? It wouldn't matter where it happened, if there is footage of it we all would have seen it and everyone would be talking about it.

    Then why are you and Dr. Funk the only ones here to know about it (keep in mind, the same Dr. Funk who said 50 from the And1 dunked on a 12 foot hoop at half time of a T-Wolves game)? It simply didn't happen. If it did we would know about it.
