Week in review

It’s NBA All-Star Weekend in Orlando.

Saturday night, the festivities traditionally are capped off with the slam dunk contest.

SportsNation recently put its own spin on world class dunking, NBA stars not included.

Check out the video above featuring SportsNation co-host Michelle Beadle. She helps demonstrate the amazing leaping skills of 5-foot, 9-inch Terry Cournoyea. The man nicknamed T-Dub jumped over Beadle not once, but twice.

Enjoy!
