Jacob Tucker was a Div. 3 NCAA basketball player from an obscure college team . So when he signified his intention to join the 2011 NCAA Dunking contest, he was initially denied invitation due to his Div 3 origins! In his burning desire to be of part of the national dunk contest, he sent the US NCAA an audition video (which eventually went viral ) and was subsequently invited!
What happened next is history and fame for the erstwhile obscure Jacob Tucker!
Below is a video of his winning dunks in the 2011 NCAA Dunk contest:
Moral of the story :
Jacob Tucker never give up on his dreams and had genuine faith in his abilities!
The US NCAA should never underestimate the desire and abilities of the "obscure"!
Jacob won the dunk contest where nobody expected him to win, in the last days of March Madness!
