What Is the AI Basketball Dunk Trend?

The AI Basketball Dunk trend is one long shot in a packed NBA-style arena where an everyday person in everyday clothes catches the ball at centre court, drives the length of the floor, throws down a one-hand dunk, lands and shouts straight into the camera. The laugh comes from who is dunking and what they wear on the court. People also call it the AI dunk trend, a basketball dunk AI video and an AI basketball dunk video.

The trend started with a CapCut AI template named "Basketball Dunk", published on October 31, 2026, that turns one photo into the dunk. By November 5, 2026, that template had more than 18,000 uses, and two more templates with the same dunk followed within four days. The posts with the most views put TV characters and presenters on the floor in their signature outfits: Louis Litt in his suit with 1.3 million views, Jeremy Clarkson in a check shirt and jeans, Sheldon Cooper in a superhero T-shirt and Mr Bean in his tweed jacket.

Every clip runs as one smooth 15-second sequence with no cuts. Far out at centre court, you catch the ball. You dribble fast down the floor straight at the camera while the referee runs behind you. Then you gather the ball in both hands, take two long steps, take off and throw down a one-hand dunk. You land under the basket, turn and shout straight into the camera as a fan's hand sweeps across the frame.

Many of the trend's posts use "Forever" by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem. The comments are packed with puns on the dunker's name, and viewers keep asking whether the clip is real.

Seadanse builds the trend's own 15-second shot, camera and timing into our AI Basketball Dunk, with the trend's sound laid under. Add one photo and you are the dunker in your own clothes. The photo can be a person, a cartoon or game character, or a pet. You get a 15-second vertical 9:16 video for TikTok and Reels in 720p or 1080p, and $9.90 makes one 720p video with no account.
