LAS VEGAS — Oohs and ahhs showered throughout Vivint Arena as members of the Utah Jazz warmed up for their Summer League finale versus Atlanta on July 5.
All eyes were on a 6-foot-5, 198-pound Caucasian kid out of Duke.
Jazz rookie Grayson Allen delivered a windmill jam, then a through-the-legs slam followed by a non-traditional 360-degree dunk that even prompted Donovan Mitchell, the NBA’s reigning slam dunk champ, to jump out of his seat to capture the moment on his phone.
“I threw down the first one and I heard the crowd’s reaction,” Allen said.
