Atlanta Hawks big man only scored five points in the first three quarters of Game 6 against the Philadelphia 76ers. But if NBA players got bonus points for how impressive their baskets looked, John Collins would be the leading scorer tonight.
With just under five minutes left in the third quarter, Collins rose up for an alley-oop, throwing down a vicious dunk over 76ers All-Star Joel Embiid while somehow simultaneously putting Embiid in a headlock. Amazingly, it was Embiid who was called for a foul on the play.
Collins' thunderous dunk caught the attention of multiple players watching the game at home, including Golden State Warriors big man Draymond Green, who tweeted "Ohhhhhhh s-------- John!!!" And he wasn't the only one to react.
