  • - Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.

  • Welcome to "The Super Slow Show."

  • A lot of sports look fantastic in slow-mo,

  • and there's a lot of athletes right here in California.

  • - Convenient. - Unfortunately,

  • today's athlete is in Austin, Texas.

  • - Inconvenient. - Let's go.

  • We're here today at U.T. on a basketball court

  • because we wanna get some gnarly slow-mo footage

  • - of a slam dunk. - Yeah, thing is, though,

  • I tried and I got about this far

  • away from the rim with my hands.

  • I couldn't get anywhere near.

  • - Pathetic. - Yeah.

  • I got about this far away from the net. Even worse.

  • So, thankfully, we've got someone who is much more competent

  • than us at dunking-- Kevin Durant.

  • Isn't that slightly overcompensating...

  • - It's quite a step up. - ...to go from us

  • to Kevin Durant?

  • - All right, Kevin. - Yeah.

  • - How's it going? - What's up, guys?

  • Might need to...

  • Yeah, get me in the shot there.

  • We were very flattered to see

  • that you have seen a Slow Mo Guys video before.

  • Yeah, man, when I go scrolling on YouTube, uh,

  • you know, I scrolled past your guys' page,

  • and I got stuck there for a couple hours.

  • - And you-- - Which is a good thing for you guys.

  • - That's awesome. - Yeah, very good for us.

  • I mean, I've seen you slam dunk before,

  • and you're maybe in the air for maybe one or two seconds.

  • - Yeah? - A little bit.

  • Well, we want to stretch it out

  • - to maybe a minute. - Really?

  • Thirty seconds to a minute

  • and see everything in much more detail.

  • - Sound good? - Sounds great.

  • All right, let's do it.

  • So in a second here,

  • Kevin Durant is going to run up

  • and dunk on this net.

  • You've all been outfitted with disposable cameras.

  • As soon as he leaves the ground,

  • you want to snap a picture

  • so that when we follow in slow motion,

  • he'll be in the air

  • and all of your cameras will flash...

  • sort of at the same time,

  • and it should look epic.

  • In order to increase the cinematic quality of the shot,

  • the camera is going to be speeding

  • alongside him on this dolly.

  • ( crowd cheering )

  • Kevin: There you go. You got one.

  • Gav: Let's watch it.

  • Look at that.

  • Let's see how our flashes did.

  • Gav: I think that you could look more casual.

  • It looks like someone just lifted you up into midair.

  • Dan: Oh, yeah.

  • Gav: It looks like you're just walking.

  • Dan: Yeah, you just stood in midair.

  • You just stood in midair with your hand up.

  • Make it look real easy.

  • - Ah. - Oh, man.

  • - My favorite part is this arm. - Yeah.

  • It's just-- it's so casual.

  • I don't know where to put it.

  • It's like this arm is playing basketball.

  • This one's waiting for a bus

  • Do you get taught to just have your hand there,

  • like, "Yeah, whatever"?

  • It's just there. I don't even know.

  • Nobody taught me where to put it.

  • Gav: Excellent shot.

  • Want to go again or...

  • - Right. - We could do it again.

  • - One more. - Yeah.

  • ( crowd cheering )

  • You threw it really far away from the net.

  • Kevin: I didn't think I would get this one.

  • Gav: You didn't think you'd get it?

  • Kevin: All the flashes looks nice.

  • Gav: Flashes look very nice.

  • Is it scary to hang off it like that?

  • - Nah. - Scary!

  • I mean, for us, that's like a broken ankle.

  • Yeah.

  • That's amazing. Look at that shot.

  • That looks cool. You've just-- completely almost sideways.

  • - It looks like-- - Like you're caught in a windstorm.

  • Kevin: If I let go, I'm falling.

  • Well, Kevin, that was an epic-looking dunk.

  • Thank you, man.

  • And these guys nailed the flashes.

  • Well done, chaps. Well done, chaps.

  • You know, it was such a good dunk,

  • we've decided to make you an honorary member

  • - of The Slow Mo Guys. - Here you go.

  • Got you a lab coat.

  • Feel free to come back whenever you want

  • and be in one of our videos.

  • Yeah. I like this. Put it on?

  • Comparing those back there,

  • that one is a lot bigger than ours.

  • Yeah, we did it-- it looks like a dress on me.

  • I like the cut-off action. I might have to go that route.

  • - Yeah? - Rip one of the sleeves?

  • You gonna wear this every day? Sort of...

  • You could wear it like pajamas, I guess.

  • I mean, the way fashion is going now,

  • I could pull this off.

  • - Yeah, I reckon so. - Hit the clubs.

  • - Yeah, absolutely. - Love it.

  • - Yeah. - Thank you very much for watching the episode,

  • and big ol' thanks to Kevin Durant for being in it.

  • And being able to dunk, unlike us.

  • - Yeah. - It's all good.

  • It's not every day you get to hang out with Kevin Durant.

  • - Yeah. - Not a bad one, that one.

  • I have to say, I wasn't expecting that this morning, that's for sure.

  • You wake up, you don't--

  • Turns out he can do two types of dunks.

  • Gah.

  • Cheers.

  • Well, Dan, it's begun.

  • How often do we usually upload?

  • - Once every three weeks? - If that.

  • I'd say once a month, maybe.

  • Why don't we try 16 a month?

  • - So 16 times as much work? - Pretty much.

  • - Seems reasonable. - Make sure you subscribe

  • if you don't want to miss it.

  • - That is a lot of work. - That's a lot of work.

- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
