DeMar DeRozan Almost Pulled Off the Greatest In-Game Dunk of All Time Last Night
On Tuesday night, Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan almost became a dunking legend.
In a Team USA exhibition game against China, DeRozan went up for a 360-degree, two-handed jam on one of China’s players. But he couldn’t pull it off. Team USA won the game, blowing out China 107-57.
DeRozan almost had the best poster dunk of all time. It’s amazing when a player goes up for a 360 dunk uncontested, let alone attempting one against an opponent.

LeBron James tweeted the dunk would’ve been one of the best ever had DeRozan completed it.
Man if @DeMar_DeRozan would have made that dunk, would have been top 5 All Time! #USABMNT

DeRozan came close to cementing his place in dunk lore, but he’s not the only NBA player who has missed a dunk that could’ve been incredible.
