Fancy Shooter - Jordan Kilganon

In a country full of basketball fanatics, it is not surprising for a Canadian professional dunker’s videos to go viral online. Almost everyone just loves to see gravity-defying moves to deliver the ball to the basket.

Jordan Kilganon was one of the celebrity guests at History Con 2017 Manila, which took place at the World Trade Center from August 10-13, 2017. The 6’1” athlete is known for his creative dunks that leave even NBA players in awe. At History Con, Kilganon did live exhibitions such as dunking over two people on top of each other and as many as four standing people lined up toward the basket.

During this annual entertainment convention by History Channel, Kilganon gave Speed a short but sweet one-on-one interview. We found out more about professional dunking, how he trains and creates dunks, and dunking against NBA players.
