5’10” Young Hollywood SHUTS DOWN Midnight Madness Dunk Contest!

Midnight Madness Dunk Contest 2012 London

There are very few dunk contests in the world that, a) have a rep like Midnight Madness’ and b) continue to live up to that rep every single year. Saturday night, after a one year hiatus, they did it again – this time with Haneef Munir, a.k.a Young Hollywood, taking centre stage.

Both famous through their association with Team Flight Brothers, 5’10”, Hollywood ended up going head to head with 6’2″ Dmitry ‘Smoove’ Krivenko of the Ukraine in the final, in what was a two horse race from the start. Some of the dunks were just CRAZY. Young Hollywood getting his head over the rim more than once, and Dmitry Krivenko pulling out his ‘Gameover’ dunk, which sees him flip the ball behind his back/over his head, catch it and put it through the legs. Ridiculous.

Check out every dunk, from every participant, in order that it happened below. Also taking part was Alexander ‘Shal’ Shalygin from Russia, and the UK’s Benji Lawmann and Nathan Schall.

More Midnight Madness Finals night footage coming soon!

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
