Jimma Gatwetch may be just 17 years old, but he could probably beat every current NBA player in the Dunk Contest if he took part in it right now. If you don’t know his name already, you probably will soon.
Gatwetch was playing for Mudiay Elite at Big Time Vegas over the weekend when he threw down one of the most impressive dunks you will ever see during a game at any level. Check it out:

Gatwetch has over 100,000 followers on Instagram and has already gotten a ton of attention for his insane dunking skills. He put on a show for the fans during warmups in Vegas as well.
17-year-old Jimma Gatwech would probably win the NBA Dunk Contest right now.
No props. No push offs. Just crazy dunks on the first try. pic.twitter.com/eCdMWH8nKS

Despite how he might make it look, the majority of those dunks are remarkably difficult. Gatwetch is part of the 2020 recruiting class, and 247 Sports says he already has offers from LSU and Western Kentucky. We can expect plenty more to follow.
We can only think of one person who could probably take down Gatwetch in a dunk contest right now. Again, he’s 17.
