Alley Oop of the Year? Former Globetrotter Bounces Ball Over Defender, Catches It, and Throws Down Dunk

We've never seen anyone throw an alley-oop to themselves like this before.

It takes a lot to impress us with a dunk in 2015. At this point, we've seen so many of them on YouTube and Vine that most dunks, even good dunks, feel pretty meh. But former Globetrotters player Angelo Sharpless had us running this dunk back over and over and over again this afternoon.

Sharpless threw down the amazing dunk during the ACC Barnstorming Tour in North Carolina on Tuesday. And he did it by bouncing a ball over a defender's head, catching it, and then slamming it home. It's not the first self alley-oop we've ever seen. But it is the first time we've seen anyone complete a self alley-oop like this.

So, so good. Go spend the rest of your day watching more of this guy's dunks.
