POSTERIZED: Travis Leslie tip-dunks his own missed three

From the time we are kids all the way to the professional level, one of the most heard sayings by a coach is to follow your shot.

Why?

As the shooter, you have the best feel of where the ball is going to miss. More importantly however, if you are a good shooter, you generally miss either long or shot and not off to the side. And if your shot is aligned right but too long or too short, then the rebound is more than likely going to come right back in the direction that it was shot from, i.e. to the shooter.

Travis Leslie has obviously paid attention to his coaches growing up:



This isn't the first time that Leslie has made a name for himself with a dunk. He windmilled in a game against Notre Dame this season, and who can forget his vicious facial on DeMarcus Cousins.

This may be the most impressive dunk I've ever seen.

It boggles my mind how somebody can tip-in their own shot?

It's like a quarterback catching his own pass.

Leslie is the best dunker in the country, hands-down, flat-out, no-questions-asked.

Boom.
