Behold the glory. Yes, you're seeing that correctly: Indiana Pacers guard Gerald Green is jumping so high that his entire head is above the rim and he's literally looking down through a hoop at the team's practice facility.

Pacers blog Indy Cornrows writes that the image, courtesy of Pacers forward David West's Twitter account, is from a video shown during Friday night's broadcast of a preseason game against the Chicago Bulls. Apparently, Green was showing off his springs during a post-practice dunk contest.

"Greatest jumper in the world... Somebody prove me wrong," West tweeted.

Pacers wing Paul George, a 2012 Slam Dunk contest participant, added: "My bro Gerald Green by far the best leaper... With GAME!"
