IN the most impressive dunk contest ever seen, Kenny Dobbs soared over a human torch and slammed the flaming ball through the hoop — somehow he still lost.

Dobbs, a finalist in TNT’s “The Dunk King,” a game show-like series that lets contestants square of in a dunk competition for a $100,000 prize, took it to another level with his fiery effort. .

But it wasn’t enough to win.

Porter Maberry, who stands 5-foot-5 and boasts an amazing 1.5 metre vertical jump, dunked over Shaquille O’Neal, one of the judges, for the win.

That’s a big jump — but seriously, the dude was on fire, the ball was so hot it singed the net on the way through — the judges got this one wrong.
