Updated: Flip-dunking Waddell appears on "Today"

Updated: Video of the interview embedded below.

It's turning into a bona-fide 15 minutes of fame for Adam Waddell.

The University of Wyoming's freshman center did a live interview at the Today Show's New York City studio Tuesday. Waddell, who hails from Cody, and U.W. head basketball coach Heath Schroyer discussed his now-famous dunk with hosts Ann Curry and Lester Holt.

We've got a little blurb in today's paper about the appearance.

Waddell drew national attention and viral Internet celebrity last week when he slammed a huge dunk, lost his grip on the rim, and crashed to the floor after a 270 degree mid-air flip.

Fortunately, he was okay.

Here's the "Today" piece that aired this morning, entitled "Dangerous dunk caught on tape."
