Jalen Green continues to showcase himself as one of the most explosive players in the NBA. Case in point, a highlight he had in the Houston Rockets’ latest matchup against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
Midway through the first quarter as the Bulls led 12-9, Green went on the fastbreak following an unsuccessful shot attempt from Matas Buzelis.
Speeding past his defender, Green then rose high in the paint as he threw down the emphatic one-handed dunk. His athleticism was too much for the Chicago defense, hyping up the Houston home crowd in the process.
