Death-Defying Slam Dunks

Milwaukee Bucks Mascot Ladder Dunk is Unbelievable

They may not have Kobe Bryant or LeBron James playing for them, but the Milwaukee Bucks were the main attraction during the NBA playoffs due to their mascot ladder dunk. Jaws dropped at the sight of this death-defying dunk.

During a break in the game, a ladder extending ten feet above the rim was set up. The Bucks’ mascot Bango the Buck climbed all the way to the top of the ladder, then dismounted by doing a back flip and dunking the ball.

Yes, the Bucks mascot ladder dunk was insane to say the least. Check out the clip and prepare to be amazed.
