For the life of me, I could not remember which game this was. It was the Ferris State exhibition game, so no wonder not much else available online. Here is the dunk from the baseline angle:




XU youtube account has the game highlights here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_8cigCL7zE (dunk at 0:28)

Many thanks.

Are the video and the still 2 different game situations?
I can't find #2 on the video but it looks like the same situation.

It appears to be the same. The clock in the still (just before he's dunked) is at 3:28, and the clock in the jpeg/video is at 3:27 just as he dunks it.

though he can't compete in any drills, Ed "measured well" at the combine : 6'6 with a 6'9 wingspan.

What people are listed as compared to what they are measured is one of the strangest things in all of sports. There’s actually a lot behind it.

Two of my favorite NBA discrepancies:

Dwight Howard is actually only measured as 6’9. Yes, the once most dominated Center in the game that drew Shaq comparisons was 6’9.

Also, probably more interesting – Kevin Durant is actually much taller than his listed height. He’s known to be at least 7 feet. Durant was afraid GMs would see that and keep him in the low post / off the wing. He’s listed as 6’9.

Edmund might have me by almost a foot in height, but I've got a good 15lbs on him!

Yeah, KD's listed height always amused me. Here he is standing next to the 6'10'' Kendrick Perkins:

KD wanted to be listed at 6'9 so he can go down as one of the best forwards ever and not center. He is realistically a 7 foot stretch forward, who has handles of a PG and shooting ability of a SG.
