Woody Harrelson proved it through his role as a basketball hustler playing in the streets of Southern California.
Chris "the Birdman" Anderson tried to prove it, but failed miserably in the 2005 NBA slam dunk competition.
What i am talking about of course is the notion that white man can jump.
Over the past few years another baller is doing his best to make even the most nonathletic, Canadian proud. His name is Henry Bekkering and he and his amazing resume of dunks are coming to Shields Court this Friday night.
Bekkering, who is currently averaging team high 18 points-a-game for the Central Division leading and CIS No. 4 ranked Calgary Dinos, has made for than just a name for himself on Youtube. The guy's dunks have had enough online hits to make even the likes of Britney Spears blush.
His through the roof hops has seen him featured on Fox's hit show, The Best Dam Sports Show Period. He's also treated basketball camps and dunk contests across the continent to his vast arsenal of ferocious slams.
The guy can jump over 5 kids for crying out loud!
So Bekkering will bring his ridiculous spring to McKinnon Gym for the first time, looking to add to his impressive portfolio of You Tube clips. Standing in his way, is the Vikes own high flyer's of Tyler Hass and Wendell Thomas. Don't think for a minute that those two are going to stand there and let Bekkering steal the home crowd thunder.
If there is one game not to miss this season it's this showdown.
But don't get too close to the action or you may find yourself on the wrong end of a poster.

This guy is the real deal. He may not win any MVP awards, but he has to be the best athlete in the CIS.
Damn, he was signed by the Calgary Stampeders! That's a cross-over not even MJ would attempt.
