If you’ve ever seen Odell Beckham Jr. float through the air to snag passes in pre-game warmups, leap over a safety to haul in a pass down the sidelines, or casually dive backward and make the catch of the century, you know he’s a one-of-a-kind athletic specimen.

His explosiveness is among the best in the NFL—and looks like it might even measure up with the NBA’s finest. OBJ—who, quick reminder, is only 5-foot-11!—posted a video compilation on Instagram Saturday night showing off his dunking abilities.

These weren’t just everyday dunks that you see from the most athletic guy in any given YMCA. He cocked it back. He did a windmill. Most impressively: he paid homage to Vince Carter's alley-oop, through-the-legs flush from the 2000 dunk contest.

Beckham and the Giants finished this season a solid 11-5, but drew a tough first-round opponent: the red-hot Green Bay Packers, who are currently playing in the NFC Championship game against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Packers dominated against the Giants, winning 38-13. OBJ was a non-factor in that game, catching four passes for 28 yards. He had several key drops and just looked off, leading some of his loudest critics to point to his perhaps-poorly-timed yacht party in Miami as a contributing factor.

Though he had to watch Sunday’s championship games on TV, Beckham seems to be enjoying the offseason so far.
