I ran across an article that had Timmy Knipp Dunking. Had a little write up on him too.

Good stuff....nice 1st step off dribble, aggressive taking it to the rim, and nice double clutch dunk finish. A lot to like.

Anybody know who is interested in his services?

Take a look at this kid from Lafayette, who is only an 8th grader, won a dunking contest.

Yea some good dunks for sure from both players Timmy throwing it down on them players. Now them are some dunks. Jackson from Lafayette is pretty impressive to. Anybody have any stats on Jackson? Seems like Lafayette is having a pretty good year to. Good luck to both kids for sure.

Its amazing at how common dunking is becoming at the high school level. I remember when I was in school (80's) if you had a kid on your team that could dunk it was a big deal. Now we have middle school and freshman kids dunking. The athleticism of these kids today is unbelievable.:notworthy:

Good point...dunkers in the mountains in the early- to mid-90s were like a freak show or something.

 

I was happy that I could consistently get the ball over the front of the rim and then "break" the rim down to make a big noise :lol:

 

Now, we have kids doing a slam dunk contest in warmups...

It seems kids are taller than they were back in the 50" and 60". I know back in the 50's ,I played center on our team at 6'1" and for the exception of 2 schools on our schedule , I was as big as any. I watched a high school team warm up last week and they had 7 kids that could dunk and dunk easily but they were all over 6'2". But there's one thing I have found out about dunking, every kid that dunks can't play.

I was at the game and saw the Timmy Knipp dunk this past week and it was impressive. Timmy is a nice ball player and is a good kid. Wish him the best.:taz:

Back in the day, we always had to use a mini trampoline to dunk. Times have changed for sure. Dicky Beal was one of the few that could "throw it down", and he was a little guy.

It is also amazing to me how many of these kids who can dunk, can not shoot the basketball because dunking is all they practice.

Highlights from Elliott county junior Timmy Knipp. More season highlights to come.

 

Lynn Camp dunk

Here is a video of 8th grader Shane Hall dunking in warmups for Johnson Central. The quality is not that good. He is 6'5".

How many good mid-range shooters have you seen this year? It seems it's either a dunk or a three.

Awesome guys keep the videos coming. Quality good enough to tell that its a good dunk. I like to check out all the players around the state. Some good 8th graders. That is true have not seen many if any mid range shooters this year.

If Timmy has a big summer I think he will move up into the conversation with the high D-1 schools, he is a great talent doing things at his size that are unreal!
