The Bachelorette is back for its 14th season. Minnesota native Becca Kufrin is the one who gets to pick and choose her Prince Charming this time around. (She vied for the love of Arie Luyendyk Jr. last season on The Bachelor; he chose Lauren Burnham.) On the premiere episode of The Bachelorette (Monday, May 28), Becca will be introduced to all 28 suitors but only 21 will stay and compete to win her affection. One of the 28 suitors pulling up to the mansion in a limo is Christon aka Chris Staples.

While many of the suitors have “regular” jobs — sales reps, ad men, bankers, etc. — Christon is listed as a professional dunker. The 31-year-old from Los Angeles was a member of the Harlem Globetrotters. His team name was “Smooth.” Check out his awesome scorpion dunk below. (Chris is behind the L.A. brand Dunkademics.) One day before the premiere of The Bachelorette, he released this disclaimer: “The deal is if you block or deflect my dunk, I will GIVE you $100 cash. If I miss the dunk, but you don’t touch the ball, then you’re NOT getting a dime. ??♂️ There’s no reward for not blocking the dunk. But I will gladly give up $50 if I miss the dunk but you put your money up as well on the bet. But in the end, I don’t want your money, I’m just collecting bodies and will pay you to be a victim. ☠ Fair deal?” Think Becca can block his dunks? The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8pm on ABC.
