Amber McLinn: Rising High School Basketball Star with Incredible Dunking

Amber McLinn threw down her first dunk in seventh grade. By her junior year at Lincoln Park High School in Batavia, Illinois, the 6-foot-4 post player had become a YouTube sensation, with highlight clips of her jams attracting college recruiters from across the country.

McLinn admired Brittney Griner but aimed to carve her own path, hoping to become known as a dominant shot-blocker as much as a dunker. She continued working toward the goal of throwing one down during a game, a feat that would make her part of a select group in women's basketball history.
