OK. I know the year just started, but yes this dunk could literally wind up being the dunk of the year. This dunk took place in a high school basketball game in Arkansas. Victor Dukes is only a SOPHOMORE!! So I feel bad for his opponents the next couple years because he might just jump right over them. Now this game technically took place on New years eve, but the video just surfaced the past 2 days. So is it the dunk of the year of 2012, or will we just let it slide to this year? Either way this dunk is crazy, Dukes head is literally over the rim as he throws it down on his opponent. It does kinda look like he steps on the defender in mid-air to get even higher, but it is hard to see. Regardless it’s crazy to watch. Check the video after the jump. IamJOE357

NCAA: 4 Hofstra University Mens Basketball Players Charged With Burglary!
I remember being a broke college freshman, and I may or may not remember having to steal groceries time to time during my freshman year, but I will never understand why so many Division 1 athletes with scholarships jeopardize their future with one small stupid decision. 4 players from the Hofstra University mens basketball team have been charged with burglary. The charges include a string of burglaries on campus from student dorm rooms. The players stole cash, computers, and other electronics. In a twist to the story, earlier in the season, the coach of the team reported having some electronics stolen from the athletic office area. Police are now investigating if these same players were responsible for that theft as well. I do not want to judge anyone, maybe these players financial situation was so dire they thought they needed to do these burglaries, or maybe they are just immature kids, but either way they may have ruined their basketball futures for really nothing. All 4 players are suspended indefinitely and will most likely wind up being kicked out of school if they are found guilty.
