You may have been disappointed by the dunk contest, but you won’t be disappointed by this dunk.
Zion Williamson, a 16-year-old junior from Spartanburg, South Carolina, has been showing off ridiculous dunks all season long. Now, on the day of the dunk contest, someone captured one of the best yet – in slow motion.
This tomahawk from outside of the key makes Williamson look like he is genuinely flying. His length and hops combine for a perfect dunker.
With new talent like this emerging all the time, despite what this year’s contest made people think, the contest has a bright future. Between some of the potential that Derrick Jones Jr. showed and the incoming prospects, there will be plenty to cheer about down the road.
Bleacher Report also put together a short clip of Williamson’s best recent dunks.
He’s doing all of that in games, imagine what he can do in practice.
