Sergio Ramos can dunk a basketball (or can he?)

A demonstration of athletic prowess or social media trickery?


We’ve seen Sergio Ramos rise up high to head in a late goal from time to time, but can he jump high enough to dunk a basketball on a regulation hoop? This is the question we are left to ask after watching a video of him doing just that.

At face value, it appears Ramos does, in fact, have Cristiano Ronaldo-like jumping ability. But closer examination raises questions. Like: What’s with the camera angle? Why aren’t we able to see his feet when he jumps? Could he be jumping off a trampoline of some sort?

Almost exactly one year ago, Ramos posted images of himself dunking on a short hoop during a Real Madrid training sessions, but the hoop in the video appears to be significantly higher.

I wouldn’t put it past Ramos to employ a bit of trickery and if he ate all that pork the other day, he would probably have to.
