Bio: Don't let his height fool you, Maberry can fly despite his 5'5" height. As his Instagram handle @HeartOverHeight suggests, he has not let his lack of stature prohibit him from becoming one of the best dunkers in the country. Maberry is looking to add back-to-back trophies to his collection after winning the 2016 Dunk King contest netting him $100,000. According to Ball Is Life, Maberry won the contest thanks in part to jumping over Shaquille O'Neal. Maberry spoke with Ball Is Life about the epic dunk. "Shaq man whew! That dunk was crazy but he’s the same height as a guy I jumped over in Europe two summers ago. But by far Shaq was the hardest because he is so wide! 7’1, I’m still trying to figure out how I did it," Maberry told Ball Is Life. Maberry lists Nate Robinson as his idol and will have a chance to impress Robinson who is one of the judges. (Instagram/@heartoverheight)
