Life of a Canadian Slammer

Who remembers Henry Bekkering?

A YouTube sensation from 2003, he's famous for the dunk competition above that he won at his high school in Taber, Alberta in Canada. Myers High isn't exactly a basketball hotbed, so it probably wouldn't be surprising if Henry attributes this video in bringing his bit of the spotlight to Taber.

After being recruited to Eastern Washington in 2003, he attended the school for only two years before departing to University of Calgary after having a reduced role in 2004-'05 for the Eagles. Now he plays for the Dutch league team Matixx Magix and has been putting up some good numbers for them.

Now I don't feel so bad giving myself an excuse to watch that clip again. Look here to see him on The Best Damn Sports Show Period.
