Will Bunton is a 6’2” dunker from Durham, North Carolina, now based in Hollywood, Florida. He was born in March 1991 and first dunked at twelve years old, at Githens Middle School in Durham.
He is one of the 24 athletes contracted to the Dunkman League for its first season, and he competed in Group Stage D at the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta on August 11, 2026, finishing fourth in a group won by Mac McClung, with Jordan Southerland second and Dylan Haugen third. He did not advance.
His signature dunk is called Kiss the Wife Goodbye. The one still on his list is the double eastbay, two between-the-legs passes inside a single jump, which is the dunk almost every contest dunker at his height eventually goes after and very few land in competition.
He names Vince Carter and James White as his influences, which lines up with what he does: both are hangtime dunkers rather than power dunkers, and both built their reputations on dunks that needed an extra beat in the air rather than an extra inch of vertical.
Group Stage D is his first appearance in a structured league rather than a one-off contest. At 35 he is one of the older dunkers on the Dunkman roster, going into a bracket that includes the reigning NBA dunk contest champion.
