Michael Jordan was famous for leaping from the free throw line and soaring through the air for a dunk. He made it look so effortless, and effectively changed the game with those kind of moments.

But BYU’s Cosmo the Cougar is putting the free throw line to shame. The school mascot was launched from the three point line, flew through the air and delivered one of the best dunks you’ll see — even for a mascot.

Obviously, Cosmo the Cougar received some assistance with this jam, but it still stole the Internet for the day. Below is the video of this impressive dunk:

With the NBA Dunk Contest coming up, maybe Cosmo can give a few pointers to some of this year’s participants. This was certainly one of the more impressive things we’ve seen from a mascot.

Who wouldn’t want to see this in the dunk contest?
