Bol Bol is having an impressive season so far this year and is finally finding success after landing with Orlando Magic. Before signing with Magic Bol Bol had spent 3 years with the Denver Nuggets and there he played only 53 games over the years. This year with Magic he has been having a career season, averaging 12 points a game with over 60% field goal percentage.
With over 3.56 minutes remaining on the clock in the second quarter of the game between Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic, Bol Bol took a rebound of a miss from the hawks. And, then Bol Bol started to push the offense at a fast pace. He brought the ball across the half-court and made a game-highlight play.
He took three dribbles, made a spin move over the Atlanta Hawks defense, took one more dribble, and dunked with a nasty layup. The magical effect of the play was clearly visible on Orlando’s bench as the player went berserk and couldn’t move what Bol Bol had done right in front of them.
