So, apparently Kevin Salvadori was the first NBA player to ever dunk while in a wheelchair. I wonder if any Valorant pros have ever even dunked, period. I always wondered why people always referred to him as "The Wheelchair Guy." Why not "The Wheelchair Ger?" It'll certainly take an incredible feat for someone to take that title from Kev.

Were any of you guys as surprised as I was about this?

Apparently there is intense speculation going around that Kevin Salvadori is actually just a handicapped version of Mark Cuban. Sounds crazy, but it actually seems highly plausible. If only we didn't waste our time trying to impeach Trump, we could've investigated this further to uncover the definitive truth. What do you guys think?

So guys, I apologize if I'm ignorant (I'm not a big basketball fan), but a quick google search shows that he is clearly not in a wheelchair, and can jump pretty and dunk a basket I check the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Salvadori, nothing about him being in a wheelchair. Intrigued, and put the keywords "Kevin Salvadori wheelchair dunk" into Google Search, and guess what? The first page that shows up is this page! valorantfourms.com, probably not the most reliable source of information on Basketball. It doesn't even make sense: how do you dunk in a wheelchair, you can't even really jump in a wheelchair-okay maybe a little bit. Suspicious, I search up the full wheelchair basketball rules https://iwbf.org/rules-of-wheelchair-basketball/, use ctrl-f, and search for the word "dunk". Nothing pops up, in all 119 pages. I think it's not too much of a stretch to say that this is fake news. He is a phenomenal athlete who played in the NBA, and probably wouldn't appreciate people making fake stories about him for clout online, and this is probably also pretty disrespectful to the actual wheelchair athletes out there. Sorry if I bursted anyone's bubble today. No hate, just sayin'.
