A group of French-Algerians I think. Sometimes it looks like they're dunking on lowered rings, or have balls with handles on them or something(!), but I think they can just jump like fleas.

Sorry to burst your bubble but most of those dunks are about as real as the bear fight u see if you kick next.

Entertaining video tho!

What leads you to believe that they aren't real?

Like u said those rings are low. Either that or some of those guys are 6foot10. I cant see guys at that height dunking from that far out and still ending up with their head above the rim.

One of those guys (Kadour Ziani) is 5'11" and I have a video of him dunking a 360 over a few guys crouching. Even if that's a size six ball and a 9' ring, it's impressive. But Kadour claims a 105cm jump, or 147cm with a run-up. Their other dunkers are all under 6'4".

The first time I saw these guys (Slamnation) I wondered if they were using a rigged ball (flat, or a handle or extra grip or something) but you can see it bounce off normally in a few. Also there are some rings in that video that are fixed height, so unlikely to be lowered.

There are definitely dunks in that selection that are incredible and done on full-height rings. Watch a few of the last massive ones slowly and you'll see how far the guy drops to the ground. They do shows at NBA games, around Europe and have recently performed in Shanghai according to their site.

Definitely download Kadour's video from his profile on the site -- features him running up and then kicking a lodged ball from the backboard -- that is athletic!

Update: there are some done in a training gym (e.g., off a cartwheel) that look like the ring is lowered, but I think everything in front of a crowd is legit.
