CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – As Lesley University senior Mike Kaufman (Boca Raton, Fla.) has advanced into the second round of the State Farm College Dark Horse Dunker contest, the Cambridge Day recently caught up with Mike about the contest.
Could Lesley University senior Mike Kaufman have the best slam-dunk in college basketball?
Maybe. The 6-foot, 190-pound guard has a video filled with spectacular and stylish moves that was enough to win a spot among 16 players from around the country in the first round of State Farm's 2014 College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Contest – and if he survives the five-week Dark Horse Dunker leadup contest he's going to Dallas in April to show how he stacks up against Division 1 players. ESPN will televise the event at 9 p.m. April 3.
