The best dunking highlight reel you'll see today

Bravo! Encore! Forget Lebron. Forget Blake. Forget Linsanity. Jewfro-bulous is what's hot in the streets! Honestly I don't know what's more impressive, these dunks or the fact that he compiled this with video effects in 1990. Like I've examined this thing like the Zapruder film and I don't see a single amateur fade, wipe or cut. Scorsese couldn't have done better. Sad that it's only being seen by the masses today. What's the old saying? Necessity is the mother of invention? Bingo. Because youtube was invented to show Jewfro-bulous to the world. I mean what did he do after he made this? Make 500,000 copies and just hand them out one by one? Seriously I know it's hard to imagine but there was a time when home movies were stored in a closet never to see the light of day in front of thousands of internet tough guys. I guess there was America's Funniest Home Videos, but that wasn't to the extent that youtube is today. Danny Tanner could only do so much. I, for one, couldn't be happier I didn't grow up in a youtube generation. But that's mainly because I was making music videos to MC Hammer and not throwing down Jam Session style on my Nerf hoop. I guess better late than never as far as Jewfro-bulous is concerned.

PS: I think I've mentioned this before but it's a Monday so let me re-heat an idea. Step 1: Get HBO or Showtime to create an entire channel to random youtube videos 24 hours a day. Step 2: Profit. And you can skip them or give them a thumbs up or thumbs down with a remote. Like youtube Pandora. No lie if there weren't commercials I could watch random youtube vids all day. Did I just re-invent television as we know it? 

Double PS; The other reason I love this video is because this ginger kid could EASILY have been me back in the day. Red hair? Check. Glasses? Check. Socially awkward? Check. It's not quite as close as fast rapping pancake guy but it's close. Now do me a favor and cue the music!
