One of the most impressive alley oops Iā€™ve ever seen, his momentum was going away from the basket and Wemby had good position on him, and he still did that.

Wow

Kai might never be a good NBA player but the guys athletic traits are absolutely insane.

u/tandtz Jul 08 '23

If he doesn't end up in the nba imagine how fucking sick his highlights will be wherever that is.

Surely we have space at the very bottom of the bench for a guy who comes on in garbage time and posterizes people.

If he can give the Hornets a random poster on a star every ten games put his jersey in the rafters

u/ISISCosby Jul 08 '23

and let's draw attention to the fact that it was a straight-up throw-in dunk, Kai's hand never even touched the rim

One of the best athletes in the league if nothing else

u/Ryaii Jul 08 '23

Beautiful

Man, I want Kai to succeed. Def has faults but his energy is there

u/lenis02 Jul 08 '23

He was pretty good defensively can he was trying to do the little things that I liked

12

u/Dentist_Rodman Jul 08 '23

itā€™s plays like this that still give me hope kai can develop into a deandre jordan type lob threat at least

13

u/bbqsauceboi Jul 08 '23

ON HIS TOP

u/Binh3 Jul 08 '23

I loved that they had the spurs general manager talking about him "learning the game" when he got posterized.

u/geauxtigers1212 Jul 08 '23

Thrunked that man

u/AppropriateAd5225 Jul 08 '23 edited Jul 08 '23

Stuff like this is why we traded a pick for him. It probably isn't going to work out, but it was worth the risk.

u/Dat_one_lad Jul 08 '23

I will never agree with ppl who say Kai was a bad pick, even if he sucks forever . The protections also kicked in on the pick we traded I believe

That was gorgeous lol.

I was eating at a Wingstop when I saw this. Amazing.

Doris poured salt on the wounds.

u/Right-Worth-6327 Jul 08 '23

Any reason why Mark Williams didnā€™t play this game? Is he injured? Wouldā€™ve loved to of seen him up against Victor.

u/YoshiWins Jul 08 '23

Heā€™s not on the summer league roster. He had thumb surgery a few weeks ago but possibly wouldnā€™t have been on the team anyways.

u/Dat_one_lad Jul 08 '23

He's probably too good, SL is for unproven guys mostly
