Houston Rockets center Alperen u015eengün is no stranger to highlight plays in his first two seasons in the NBA.
u015eengün is one of the game's most inventive passers, one who isn't afraid to throw a dump-off pass behind his head or sling a cross-court pass through three defenders. But on Thursday, it was u015eengün's athleticism that took center stage.
Houston's second-year big man took the ball in the backcourt in the third quarter of Thursday's contest in San Antonio, and no defender picked him up as he waltzed toward the lane. Spurs center Zach Collins recovered as u015eengün was about to rise up for a dunk, though unfortunately for Collins, he ended up on the wrong side of one of the season's most violent dunks.
