Luigi Datome Dunks Ball Straight Into The Side Of The Backboard

Luigi Datome, formerly of the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons, currently plays ball for Fenerbahçe in the European League. In a recent game against CSKA Moscow, Datome shook his man and rose up for what promised to be a gorgeous baseline dunk. That promise went unfulfilled:

What really makes this is how confident Datome was on the takeoff. Is it wise to try and dunk the ball when your body is a full foot behind the backboard? Gigi Datome has no time for such questions, and that’s what makes him great.
