This could’ve been career ending. This could’ve broken twitter. This could’ve been the dunk of the decade. Here at PSO, there isn’t much focus on what could’ve, would’ve, or should’ve happened, but this highlight was so good that it made the Best in Sports even if the ball didn’t go in the hoop. At the very least, it is still a human being jumping over a near 7ft human being. Don’t see that everyday.
