Video: Man tries to dunk a basketball over a car, fails miserably

Weh, Weh, Wehhhhhhhh...

Neil Treacy

Laughing at someone’s misfortune is a hobby of mine.

And Lloyd Hickinson just brought on a belly laugh to remember.

He was competing recently at the “Golden Chihuahua All-Star Game” (that name is probably funnier than his dunk), and took part in the slam dunk contest, with his piece de resistance being a monster dunk over a car.

However, it didn’t go according to plan. After building the atmosphere with some tense music, Hickinson took a huge run up, leaped into the air, but only reached the rim of the basket, before catching his feet on the doors of the car, and taking a massive, massive hopper off the floor.

And just to make things even better, the fireworks on the backboard exploded into life, just to accentuate his enormous fail.

In the end, he got back on the horse, and made the dunk to win the competition, but that’s not funny…
