POSTERIZED: Shaquille Johnson got hops, yo

The name sounds familiar, doesn't it?

It should.

Because back in May, we posted a video of Shaquille Johnson throwing down one of the nastiest dunks these eyes have seen in a long, long time. Take a look. He waits for the defender to get back on defense simply so he dish out a savage aerial assault. Then he draws a tech for staring down his victim, who is left lying on the ground, overcome with the realization that he is about to go viral.

As a basketball purist, I hate it.

But as a basketball fan ... god damn that is vicious.

Its also far from the only in-flight entertainment the young man known simply as 747 as provided us this spring:



Its unreal how high this kid an get off the ground. Seriously, look at this picture:


His shoulder is above the bottom of the back board. He head is at the rim. It looks like he can place a quarter on the top of the back board. What's crazier is that, according to ESPN, Johnson is not a top 50 recruit. He's not in their top 100. Hell, he's not even in the top 50 at his position.

Maybe this 6'4" (seriously, 6'4"!!!) Auburn commit should spend some time working on his handle and his jump shot.
