COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- It was an 11-second moment that made its rounds on social media. In a clip posted by the NBA Tuesday, Michael Porter Jr. bounced a pass to Tyler Zeller, who fed the rookie on a give-and-go near the basket. Then, in a split-second, Porter Jr., who looked completely undaunted by a double team from Gary Harris and Nikola Jokiu0107 at the rim, went in for a thunderous slam. Those in attendance at the basketball courts at U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Center went wild.
What is frightening is Porter Jr. appeared to be unfazed by the moment, which received almost 2,000 retweets and 15,000 likes on Bleacher Report's Twitter account.
