While most NBA players are happy to put up their own highlight reels (see: Dwyane Wade's pre-retirement crisis), some are rather unfazed by their failures. New York Knicks center Enes Kanter has never taken himself (or defense) too seriously, but this clip is just a short demonstration that he isn't shy of admitting his failures.
A Jordan-branded Kanter put up a video (in slow motion, mind you) of his attempt to do a reverse baseline dunk, which of course wind up being an epic fail.

Kanter elevates enough to flush it down, but ultimately lacks in the execution department, rattling in-and-out.
This is hardly the first time Kanter has shown any signs of self-deprecation, doing so a couple of weeks ago with another missed dunk in practice and a flashback to a missed dunk in the regular season.
Yup!
Like they say..

But don't be discouraged, as the big man has been putting in work against Oklahoma City Thunder recent addition Nerlens Noel in recent weeks, putting some of his moves on display in this one-on-one matchup.

Hopefully there will be more inside buckets and mid-range jumpers than missed reverse dunks for Kanter, who had arguably one of his best seasons last year, posting 14.1 points and 11 rebounds per game in 2017-18.
