If you're fielding a dunk contest of only 7-footers, there might not be a better contestant than Illinois' Meyers Leonard. The 7-foot-1 sophomore is an absolute freak of an athlete. People his size aren't supposed to run the floor and move as smoothly and easily as he does. See what we're talking about in this video of Leonard bringing down the house at Assembly Hall with a rim-rattling slam. Pretty impressive, huh?

Leonard and the Illini took care of Chicago State in the game. Read the recap here.
