From the "that squirrel can waterski" department...
Ok, so arthritic sea otter Eddie didn't really win the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, but watching him dunk a basketball is definitely way more interesting than watching those guys (and he needed less attempts to get it right, too).
Eddie is currently rehabbing at the Oregon Zoo, which means he's a Portland Trail Blazers fan, but we won't hold that against him. (His rehab has been considerably more successful than that of injury-prone Trail Blazer Greg Oden — maybe he should talk to the trainers at the zoo?)
Eddie The Otter now joins Eddie The Eagle and Eric The Eel in the annals of sport history, except 1) he's better at his chosen sport than them and 2) he actually is an otter.
Here's the amazing footage. Be prepared to spend the rest of your day watching it again and again:

If an arthritic sea otter can throw it down like that, maybe those Michael Jordan comeback rumours aren't so far-fetched after all.
