Donovan Hawkins DESTROYS Venice Beach Dunk Session 9'9"

‪@donovanhawkins_37‬ after winning the VBL dunk contest had a dunk session on the next court over, but the rim was only 9'9" so he hit every dunk imaginable!

[@ryants1]

He’s got to start doing new dunks that no one else can do. These are all too easy for him!

[@greg9069]

Double windmill.

[@Solway.Firth.]

He jumps so high looks like he's dunking on a kiddie rim

[@Frankje01]

yeah he makes it look like the rim is so low and then he stands underneath it and you're like....damn, that's still quite a bit up

his explosiveness is something else

Idk how people can just casually walk by when they see him going crazy

It’s because most of people don’t know nothing about basketball.

[@brysonliang8]

I would say that Donovan at the moment is having one of the greatest "peaks" in dunk history. Right along there with 2022 Isaiah, 2016 Guy Dupuy, and 2011 T-Dub.

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

crazy thing is that Donovan hasn't peaked yet...he's only 21 years old and hasn't even incorporated elbow hangs, cuff dunks, or dubble ups

[@josephhartley7771]

Kilganon?

[@brysonliang8]

@@josephhartley7771 I was actually thinking a lot about mentioning him lol, but he's just been so consistently good over the years that I can't really think of a "peak" for him. Like he was hitting the lost and found in 2015, and he just tested a 46.1 standing vert this year. Kinda like LeBron, Kilganon's always just been a monster.

[@nicoelgreeko]

Venice is a cultural phenomenon. I came here from watching Andy Andersen skating Venice and then my next video is a German in Venice update video. Nice!

I wish I could have seen him in dunk league it would be crazy🎉

He has a pretty basic dunk package, doesn’t deserve that title

Even his basic dunks are great. His whole bag is deep compared to everyone else. Hes got my vote as #1 now.

[@sucre9995]

R.I.P Slam dunk contest with Isiah Rider sims old past 😢

[@user-oq9ly8lr9z]

The cameraman sounded like his dad talking to his son in the backyard video taping him 😂 The dunks were elite though. Impressive.

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

haha damn

[@icyboy771z]

9'9 is the best rim height for dunking

[@sucre9995]

I want see this guy play a real game with Frita or other and put dunk on game 😊

[@josegs09]

The best of the history

[@christianabesamis4155]

If he made it to the NBA and got invited in the dunk contest, he’d win easily

[@dezignerjay]

I can't Lie tho 2:46 That Dunk was fire 😂⚡

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

more dunks coming soon! just had a 10ft session today with him

[@Richgains]

Haven’t seen anything like it since T-Dub

[@bigkirv4950]

Even though it’s 9’9” but usually the average rim height is about 9’10”-9’11”. Especially the College and NBA rims. And 24 hour fitness rims are between 9’8”-9’10”.

[@blackjesus2510]

Naw trust me it’s definitely a few inches shorter than the college and NBA rims. Played there a couple years ago. Rims were super low compared to when I played in college. I’d say the rims here are comparable to those at LA Fitness.

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

ya this was definitely a cheat rim for him, but he evened it out a little bit by doing super slow approaches and not going 100% with his jumps

[@icyboy771z]

9'9 is the perfect height for trick dunking. Its the highest height where double eastbay has been done successfully and most ridiculous trick dunks can be pulled off on 9'9 but on 10 is still impossible or very hard.

[@NappyVon]

Slim Fady out here doing jelly layups. Disguising them as dunks.😂 we on to ur plan man lol 🔥🔥🔥

[@nicoelgreeko]

2:29 Gyatt

[@hyt_check]

Him on 9’9” is me on 8’😭😂

[@krissanders987]

I can tell he’s close to 7 foot, so it does help him tremendously. But he’s very athletic

[@calebbucket11]

He’s between 6’3” and 6’4” I think 👍

[@calebbucket11]

And his vertical is probably around 48 ish so extremely bouncy

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

he's 6'3.5" without shoes on

[@yeheheyee9998]

Close to 7 foot Ahahaha

[@scarred10]

You must be blind then

[@DylanHaugen23]

if Donny learns how to cuff the ball it’s over

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

Crazy that Donny still has a ton to unlock: -lefty dunks -cuff dunks -elbow hangs -prop dunks and all of those should be pretty easy for him to knock down

[@DylanHaugen23]

@@DunkademicsOfficial seems like he learns stuff pretty quickly too. the fact that he was the close to hide and seek of the dribble is just stupid

[@gayrcember]

I do not think the rim is low, he jumps high 😊

[@alejandroroman5080]

And tall too, 6’4”

[@scarred10]

He just showed the rim is 3 inches low.

[@CR250rSMITH]

i wanted too see one high lob and a crazy punch on that low rim soo bad lol

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

it the court wasn't super slippery, he would have

[@watchalotadunks]

just insane

[@jesushelps]

Where’d this guy come from? Respectfully. I thought Isaiah had it on lock then this guy pops up.. still not first but a close second IMO

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

he's only 21 years old, but he's been dunking with us for a while. This is a session from a couple years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mquuqnp5l7GFa7c&pp=ygUmYW50aG9ueSBoZWlnaHQgdG9ueSBjcm9zYnkgZHVua2FkZW1pY3M%3D

[@broadliam]

Those Venice beach courts are dusty af

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

yup, but they're low enough to where it evens out

[@victorpena200]

Jordan Kilganon and Isaiah Rivera can do them. I’m not hating on him but they have a 50 to 51 plus inch vertical due to their insane workouts.

[@Saturnblue0708]

lol, i thought he got rim checked on the first one, but he was just tapping the rim

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

he was playing games with the rim

[@troliskimosko]

I can barely dunk on 9’9” on a very good day.. and hell no on a stiff double rim 😂 If I saw this guy doing this shit on my rim I’d probably kill myself

[@qrossover467]

[@thatsallday23]

If you're in a dunk contest, and you find out that you're competing against Donovan Hawkins, you have to feel deflated. Talk about taking the wind out of someone's sails. Did you ask Smoove about getting Miller to have a dunk session with Donovan? Does TeeFly have a chance of beating Donovan?

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

need to get Miller out to the United States first! TeeFly possibly

[@joshuaschroeder8027]

Ive always found the concrete takes away a bit of my bounce. Not sure if its like that for everyone 🤔

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

In this case, 100% because the court was slippery, so Donovan couldn't approach at full speed, so he could only do a walk/jog into his dunks

[@davonbatman8361]

Dbl eastbay lol look so easy but dude bouncy frfr 💯

[@shawnestinnett838]

That’s a 8 foot rim unless he’s 7ft tall when he dunks and his legs are straight he’s like a foot from the ground and unless he has a 8ft wingspan that’s not less then 2 feet in between him and the rim if it’s 9’9

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

Rim is 9'9" and Donovan is 6'4 with shoes on. If you watch the full video, he stands under the rim with his arm straight up, and he's not even close to touching the bottom of the net with his hand, despite his standing reach being 8'1.5" (plus we measured the rim) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKS8mZZohN2YlbM

@@DunkademicsOfficial no silly I'm saying . Do the opposite with the tape measure. Starting on the ground and the height measurement will be at the rim. That's how I always measure any height mainly at work but literally makes the most sense to do it this way, and I easily notice it when it's the way you do it. Jus saying it's like a pet peeve 🤣
