Kingfisher point guard Bijan Cortes' meteoric rise leads to signing with Sooners: 'I'm just really blessed'

KINGFISHER — Bijan Cortes remembers nearly every detail of the slam dunk.

The Broken Arrow defender first broke from his stance, choosing to stand nearly entirely upright for a split second.

That was all Cortes needed.

Kingfisher’s star point guard quickly exploded past the defender. In a matter of moments, he soared to the rim and unleashed a ferocious one-handed dunk over another defender.

The moment from a 2019 preseason scrimmage went viral.

“That was probably the best one I’ve had, honestly,” Cortes said.

It was the dunk that really announced Cortes’ skill to the state and to the college basketball world.
