Ben Hopkins, known online as Ben Bounces, is a professional dunker from North Carolina. He is 6'5.5" with an 8'5" standing reach and a 43" one-foot vertical, jumps off his left foot, and his signature is the Tamalah, which is among the more technically demanding one-foot dunks anyone attempts.
He got there fast. He went from spamming basic one-handers to landing the Tamalah in roughly two years, on a timeline that surprised most people watching. Part of that is coaching, he has worked directly with Jordan Kilganon through JumpX, and part of it is that he has had the same session partner his entire life. He and Travis Reynolds have known each other since t-ball at three years old.
Dunk Camp 2025 is the result he is known for. He won the ten foot dunk contest there, and the FIBA 3x3 invite that came with it, on a knee he already knew was compromised. He was managing patellar tendon pain throughout and had set himself a hard limit of eight out of ten before he would stop. He did not stop, and he won by roughly fifteen points.
He is a repeat Dunk Camp finalist, left-footed off the ground but able to finish with either hand, and his one-foot bag keeps widening. What he is currently chasing is higher-rim Tamalahs, off-vertical elbows and ten foot under-boths. He also runs an online series comparing his vertical and speed to fictional characters, which is a reasonable indication of how seriously he takes himself outside the gym.
