Pepperdine guard Keion Bell dunks over seven people

By Jeff Eisenberg

Of all the memorable entrances, crazy costumes and well-choreographed dance numbers from this year's lineup of Midnight Madness events, the most jaw-dropping moment may have taken place at seldom-seen Pepperdine.

Six-foot-3 junior guard Keion Bell positioned three teammates and four others from tallest to shortest between the free-throw line and the rim, strolled out to mid-court and then took a running start at the basket. Amazingly, he cleared all seven with only the help of a slight push-off, finishing with a one-handed slam to the delight of the crowd at Pepperdine's Firestone Fieldhouse.


Pepperdine's Keion Bell Dunks Over Seven People @ Yahoo! Video

There was a lot of pressure on Bell to finish that dunk considering how high he raised the bar a year ago at Pepperdine's Midnight Madness event. Bell dunked over five of his teammates that day, a video that was widely viewed on YouTube and made SportsCenter's top plays.

Bell averaged 18.5 points per game as a sophomore at Pepperdine last season, but he received little notoriety for anything besides his dunking prowess since the Waves struggled to a 7-24 record. With five starters and 13 players returning from last season's team, Pepperdine is hoping to give fans a reason to pay attention to Bell's exploits after Midnight Madness this season.

The dunk over the people was the least impressive dunk of them all.

Glad they can celebrate something...because once the season starts there won't be much to cheer about...especially when the Zags roll them again!

Had he fallen short, he'd have come down on the head of that kid, causing who knows what injury. Who thought that setup was a good idea?

He pushed off and up on the first players head for additional lift.
Some of his other dunks were better.
That post dunk celebration was idiotic.

I thought he was pretty good. What's him having to be white or black. got to do with this? He made the job dunking over people look easy which isn't that easy to do.
He has a high point average in every game. which makes him a very valueable player to the rest of the team players.
And he's about winning and for the team.
