James has a dunk from the corner of the Free Throw line, which is about an additional 2ft. That has to be the furthest dunk EVER! There's also a missed alley oop and his arm pit is literally above 10ft. I had a homeboy I played against in high school named Immanuel McElroy he won state with Stephen Jackson back in 95’ Port Arthur Lincoln. He got a D1 ship to Cincinnati and played with James White and Kenyon Martin so I followed him a lot. He would tell me stories of James dunking and touching over 13ft easily!

This was in the early 90s before social media or any kind of cell phones. He also held the state record for the high-jump in track at 6 ft 10 in. He was unbelievable. Went to college and one of his knees went out and that was it, never heard anything of him after that.
