VIDEO: Laid-off employee holds one-man dunk contest

Ever been tempted to close the curtains, turn on the GoPro, and engage in a solo dunk extravaganza? No?

Well, one energetic individual did just that, after apparently being laid off in late July.

The video, posted by a man named Jake H, has earned more than 300,000 hits on YouTube as of Tuesday afternoon.

Jake's 2-minute highlight reel displays his creativity and relatively impressive flexibility. Note: the man is wearing slacks and a dress shirt, people!

Some notable dunks include: off the wall and through the legs, 360 double-clutch, and forearm through the rim.

For his finale, Jake channels his inner Chocolate Thunder by destroying the plastic kids hoop with a devastating tomahawk jam.

Perhaps Jake's former employer might reconsider his termination with the world now being aware of his extracurricular capabilities. If not, this video should be the first attached file on any of his upcoming job applications.
