With Team USA cruising Tuesday night to a 50-point laugher against China, DeMar DeRozan attempted what surely would have been one of the greatest dunks ever. Unfortunately, DeRozan was hacked and just missed a 360-degree poster jam.
Everyone (with the notable exception of head coach Mike Krzyzewski) loved the sheer audacity of the play.
Man if @DeMar_DeRozan would have made that dunk, would have been top 5 All Time! #USABMNT

he really saw a defender approaching and was like “wonder if I can do a full spin in the air before dunking on him” https://t.co/1Ystog2VlT

Coach K said: “We had a little bit too much fun out there tonight. We have to tone that down a little bit.” https://t.co/7KIDaLcDKw
