SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Jazz center Rudy Gobert rocked the rim with a ferocious slam dunk over two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo during the opening minutes of Utah’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Jazz hosted the Bucks at Vivint Arena on Friday, February 12.
With 8:39 remaining in the first quarter, Joe Ingles dished the ball off to a rolling Gobert. The 2019 NBA All-Star flew towards the hoop and crushed the iron with an impressive jam.
Gobert’s dunk was his first bucket of the game and gave Utah an 11-7 lead.
