After reading the title you know what is about to happen, so let’s just get right into it.

Ok so let’s make one thing clear here: Michael Whalen’s athleticism is on full display during the opening seconds of the video. He’s running at a pretty quick pace to jump onto a plastic table with dress shoes and a tie on.

Athlete.

His move to the basket is pretty effortless, and then he proceeds to miss the dunk off of the back-rim and while hanging by one hand he grabs the ball mid-air with the other.

Again, athlete.

But after he made the missed dunk actually look cool, his brain (and grip) proceeded to shit the bed and he went from looking like a hero to a white guy in slacks and dress shoes trying to dunk a ball off of a table in front of his handful of friends.
