Eric Bledsoe, the 6-foot-1 combo-guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, just pulled down the ring after dunking the ball after an alley-oop to himself.
Do you find that statement hard to believe? Check out the video below for further evidence:

Much has been said about Bledsoe and the strength he possesses. This trait has made it relatively easy for him to match-up against guards in the league. Almost every guard he faces has the same agility and quickness, but not everyone has the brute force.
But Bledsoe himself was surprised at the feat, as observed in the caption. He even gave a shoutout to Shaquille O'Neal, who, in his younger years, broke down several rims.
Bledsoe will be entering his 10th year in the league, second with the Bucks. In the offseason, the team acquired Mike Budenholzer as their new coach. He pointed out that he wants to create a really good defensive team.
Last season, Bledsoe averaged an impressive 2.0 steals per contest, as well as other defensive intangibles. And with a defensive-minded coach like Budenholzer, can we expect Bledsoe to average even more steals? Will this finally be the year Bledsoe catapults into a star player that he can be?
