"In 2014's Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, during the side quest " Boomshakalaka," players encounter a superstar basketball player named Dunks Watson. After helping him get his basketball back and killing some raiders, Dunks takes the ball and goes for a massive dunk. However, The Pre-Sequel takes place on Pandora's moon, Elpis, and it has far lower gravity than the planet. So once he shoots up into the air, he never comes down and instead just flies away into space, screaming "BASKETBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!""
"In Borderlands 4, players can find a side quest named "And Welcome To The Jam" which involves a person claiming that there is someone above in the sky. After turning on a machine to bring the person back to the ground, I realized who I was making contact with: Dunks Watson. After 11 years and two games, he finally finished his big, intergalactic slam dunk."
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel features a side quest, Boomshakalaka, where superstar basketball player Dunks Watson grabs a ball, leaps for a dunk, and floats off into space due to Elpis's low gravity. Borderlands 3 included a small Easter egg showing him frozen in space with the ball. Borderlands 4 introduces a side quest named "And Welcome To The Jam" that locates someone in the sky; activating a machine returns Dunks to the ground. After eleven years and two games he completes the intergalactic slam dunk, responds briefly to a reporter, then dematerializes.
