If you don’t know the name Fran Belibi, you should. The five-star forward from Aurora, Colorado is off to Stanford next season, but she’s already gone viral multiple times for her stunning moves on the court.
And Monday, she became the second female player to win the dunk contest at the McDonald’s All American Game, following only the great Candace Parker, who won in 2004. In the final round of the contest, Belibi was up against Florida five-star recruit Scottie Lewis and five-star forward Precious Achiuwa, who has not yet committed anywhere, ESPN reported.
At 6-foot-1, Belibi is listed as the No. 3 forward in the nation, and she threw up four dunks, all of which received perfect 10s. She even dunked over her future Stanford teammate Ashten Prechtel, who was sitting in a chair under the basket.
Dunking is one of Belibi’s specialties. Two seasons ago as a sophomore, she became the first girl to dunk in a Colorado high school basketball game, and she went viral in December with an incredible one-handed mid-game dunk.
The best part? She’s only been playing basketball since her freshman year of high school and will join The Cardinal’s roster.
Her future team is a No. 2 seed in the NCAA women’s tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16 with a nine-point win over No. 7 seed BYU on Monday night.
In addition to her contest-winning dunk, Belibi also put down a one-handed reverse on the baseline, a left-handed dunk and a two-handed flush off the backboard from future Stanford teammate and No. 1 prospect Haley Jones.
“I practiced the dunk over another person a lot,” Belibi said. “I would practice the left-handed dunk and the reverse dunk after every practice. The backboard dunk with Haley Jones was tougher because Haley had to put the ball in the right place for it to work out.”
Here are some of the stunning photos of Belibi’s winning dunks:
