New Zealand's National Basketball League can boast having one of the world's best dunkers in their ranks this year.
Two years ago, Troy Baxter Jr became the first player to win national slam dunk titles at both high school and college level in the United States.
Now he's playing for the Canterbury Rams and has already created an impressive highlights reel.
Baxter Jr threw down his first dunk at just 12 years old, and hasn't looked back since.
"I went from rim grazing one summer to doing between the legs," Baxter Jr told Newshub.
"The next summer, windmills to 360 between the legs It just came."
That saw him become a sensation at high school and college level with Baltimore's Morgan State, winning national dunk titles in front of judges like NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal.
"It was definitely intimidating," he admitted. "If you missed a few dunks, Shaq would tell you."
After spending a season with the Chicago Bulls' G-League team last year, Baxter Jr has stepped in and quickly made an impact with the Rams. He's the team's second-leading scorer with 16.8 points per game, while averaging 5.8 rebounds.
Just five games into his tenure with the Rams, Baxter Jr has already taken flight with a slew of crowd-pleasing jams.
"That's the best part you know, just seeing the reaction from the crowd, your teammates, your coaches. I mean, who wouldn't love that?"
And for his Rams teammates, it's like having a wide receiver.
"If he gets space you can throw it up there he'll go get it," said Rams guard Jared Wilson-Frame.
"I tell them all the time, just throw it towards the end of the backboard," adds Baxter Jr.
