What do we mean by “elite bounce”? Well, this, for starters.
That’s Cisse elevating so high that his entire head and body from the neck up are above the rim itself. To put it in perspective, with elevation like that, Cisse could easily dunk on an 11 1/2 foot basketball, and likely a 12-footer.
Of course, Cisse won’t ever have to do that (for more than a stunt), which makes his specialized “chin” music all the more impressive. With ups like those, the dunks that come on the other side should be legendary, all the more reason to pay particularly close attention to the Lausanne Collegiate School (Memphis, Tenn.) basketball season when it tips off just weeks from now.
