Junior college player Javonte Douglas' entire head reached above the rim on this tip dunk that looks completely fake.
Spoiler alert: It's not.
The video of Douglas' incredible dunk made the rounds with sports fans online on Monday, and for good reason. We don't think we've seen anything quite like it, although this dunk from January comes close. But examining the footage reveals some interesting physics behind the feat.

Douglas' jump is high to begin with, of course. But watch just as he seems to reach his peak. Two other players jump below him, inadvertently boosting him several inches higher. This results in Douglas staring down at the rim as he slams the ball through.
So perhaps the headline needs an asterisk, but it's an amazing highlight either way. If you can't get enough of awesome dunks, you can peruse our gallery of the most emasculating posterizations in NBA history:
This dunk set the Internet aflame in January. The official NBA YouTube video already has more than 5 million views. The dunk prompted Perkins to call out LeBron James in the press for tweeting the epic slam.
The night before Griffin's monumental throw-down, James turned in a classic of his own. He cleared Bulls guard John Lucas to catch this backdoor alley-oop.
A couple years ago, before he and James joined forces on the Heat, Dwyane Wade completely overwhelmed James' then-teammate, Varejao. In the immortal words of commentator Reggie Miller, "Welcome to your Kodak moment, Anderson Verejao!"
This dunk will live forever in the hearts of Golden State Warriors fans. It came during the middle of the team's improbable "We Believe" playoff run in 2007. Davis' weird, belly-baring celebration, which earned him a technical foul, brings it up another notch.
This dunk isn't technically "on" anyone, but young Shaq pulling down an entire basketball support is epic enough to make any list. As the esteemed Bill Walton would say, "Throw it down, big man!"
Current Warriors coach Mark Jackson had a stellar playing career with several NBA teams, but he was on the receiving end of probably the greatest NBA dunk ever by a white guy.
Scottie Pippen obliterated Knicks center Patrick Ewing in this 1994 dunk, and this two-minute video tells the entire story.
Pippen's Bulls teammate — some guy named Michael Jordan — also had a ruthless dunk over Ewing. He actually had a couple, but this one is the most savage of all.
However, Knicks guard John Starks gave the high flying Bulls a taste of their own medicine in 1993 with this lefty flush. Lore has it that Starks caught Jordan on this one, but that's debatable, at best. Check the tape and decide for yourself.
Back in the '90s, when both still played for the teams that drafted them, tiny Allen Iverson was all like, "Marcus, this elevator goes to 10 and I'm dropping you off at 7."
Johnson is currently the mayor of Sacramento, Calif., but back in 1994 the short point guard did this to Hakeem Olajuwon. How many politicians can include "dunked over a Hall of Fame center" on their resumes?
We know Vince Carter's all-time classic isn't technically an NBA dunk, but it's so good we'll make an exception. Playing in the off-season for the U.S. at the 2000 Olympics, Carter cleared the 7-foot-2-inch Weis to throw it down.
