Ever thought you would see a man from Clondalkin dunking in people's faces at Rucker Park?
No? Well, you're about to.
This is Aiden Harris Igiehon, a 16-year-old NBA hopeful who moved to New York last year to pursue his dreams of reaching the NBA, and so far it's going really well. The former Moyle Park student has already had an offer from St.John's, one of the most prestigious basketball schools in America, and boasts an absolutely insane highlight real already.
Just look at what he did on the iconic Rucker Park court:

To put into perspective how tall he is at just 16, here he is standing next to a grown man:

Wow.
Obviously he still has a lot of work ahead of him, but not every day to you see a lad named Aiden from Dublin making waves in US basketball with a mixtape full of monstrous dunks.
Fair play to the young man and we wish him all the best going forward.
