Kelly Oubre Jr. potential Dunk of the Year

Kelly Oubre Jr. is known for some freakish dunks and has had some of the best dunks over the past few years. Last season, when Kelly Oubre Jr was with the Warriors, he also had a wild offensive put-back dunk over Kevin Durant which was at the time being hailed as the Dunk of the Year. Kelly tried to do something along similar lines in the Friday night game too.

In the 2nd quarter of the game, Kelly Oubre Jr tried a three-pointer but it did not go in. The Hornets were lucky enough to get an offensive board. The play continued as Cody Martin of the Hornets tried to make a three-pointer. Kelly recognized the trajectory of the ball and for the offensive rebound. He caught it high and almost made it a one-handed tomahawk but unfortunately could not finish. The ball struck hard on the rim and bounced away. As per the unwritten NBA media rules, dunks either end up in ‘Dunk of the Year’ conversations or on Shaqtin’ A Fool. Twitter knew where this one was going:
