Back in the 80s and early 90s, the University of Nevada-Las Vegas was the shiznit in ball. It produced a number of NBA All-Stars and an uncounted number of banged groupies (and, subsequently, illegitimate children). Unfortunately, all good things don't last, especially when your coach is suspected of breaking every rule in the NCAA book.
Jarvis Basnight was a passable forward for the team from 1985-88 who remains one of the school's best shooters ever but never averaged more than the 14 ppg he posted his senior season. However, he did create a blueprint for Vince Carter's Frederic Weis hurdle when he copped a steal against Pacific, went around the back down the court and then said "f*ck it" and cleared some poor bastard for the jamaliciousness.

That was dope
Nice, real nice
After watching that three more times, that might be the most ridiculous dunk that I've ever seen for the following reasons: (1) in was in a game; (2) the defender was standing about four feet in front of the hoop and (3) he took off from about a half a step in front of the free throw line.
There's another clip that shows the full play, but from the standard TV angle, so it doesn't show the dunk as well. He makes the steal at his end of the court, takes it upcourt and goes around the back to dodge a defender (which forwards in 1988 just did not do) and didn't even slow down when he saw that dude in the lane. Crazy.
