Doug Anderson is a 6'6" dunker from Kalamazoo, Michigan and one of the most accomplished in-game and streetball dunkers alive. He competes in Shaq's DunkMan League and arrives with a record almost nobody in the field can match, built over more than a decade of winning contests wherever he enters them.
He made his name at the University of Detroit Mercy, where he won the 2013 college slam dunk championship. At the time of that win he had entered five dunk contests in his career and won all five of them. His in-game dunking was just as loud: he had the number one play on ESPN SportsCenter's Top Plays three separate times in a single season, which is the kind of run that turns a college forward into a national highlight fixture.
After college he was drafted by the Harlem Globetrotters and toured with them performing as Hawk Anderson, bringing his dunking to arenas around the world. He was also a finalist on TNT's The Dunk King, the network's televised dunk competition, and across his career he has won more than 25 dunk competitions.
Anderson is a two-foot jumper who plants right-left, and his signature is an underboth two-hand reverse, a dunk that requires both the hang time to get the ball under both legs and the control to finish it backwards. Years after his college run he is still competing at the highest level of professional dunking, which says as much about his durability as his hops.
Dunkman League 2026. He competed in Group Stage A on July 21, in a group won by Cam Hazzard ahead of Joel Henry and Chen Dengxing, and finished outside the advancing places. The Dunkman League runs four group stages of six at the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta. The four group winners advance to the World Championship on August 25 along with the four highest scoring non-winners across all groups, for a field of eight and a $500,000 prize.
