WATCH: Raptors’ Scottie Barnes bends the rim on an incredible slam dunk against the Bulls
Scottie Barnes owes one of the rims at the Chicago Bulls arena an apology.
Barnes showed why he was a 2021 lottery pick for the Toronto Raptors Monday night in what may well be one of the best dunks you’ll see this NBA season.
On an offensive possession, Barnes drove in the ball to the rim on a Bulls defender and capped off the play with an earth-shattering slam dunk that even Chicago fans had to have been impressed by.
Seriously, you can feel your computer screen shake with the sheer force of basketball that Barnes dunks that sucker in with. It’s an amazing bucket.
Chicago isn’t the place you’d expect to feel an earthquake, but Barnes’ amazing dunk might’ve registered on the Richter scale.
GOOD INVESTMENT: Versatile Scottie Barnes is Raptors' 'player of the future'
He’s already off to a historic season for Toronto, becoming the youngest player in Raptors history to net a triple-double when the 21-year-old had 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists Friday against the Dallas Mavericks.
Despite the monster dunk, the Raptors lost the game to the Bulls 111-97. The Florida State great will need more plays like that this season to help the Raptors keep pace in the Eastern Conference.
