Javonte Green uncorked one of the best dunks of his career in the Bulls’ preseason win over the Raptors and that’s saying something.
"I don't even know how that feels. I don't even know how Jordan feels," Green told reporters."It was a crazy play last night. It was just second-nature. Like, I didn't plan on doing that."

But he compensates with explosive athleticism and aThat said, Green said he has never dunked from the free-throw line in a game before. In practice, though?
"I ain't gonna say I was confident on doing that," he told reporters."But I have jumped from the free-throw line before. In college, I think." Between Green, Zach LaVine, Derrick Jones Jr., DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso, the Bulls employ plenty of devastating dunkers. Green flashed humility when asked if he or LaVine would win an internal contest.
"He got the trophy, right?" Green said, referencing LaVine's dunk titles in 2015 and 2016."I'll put Zach in there."
