Shaedon Sharpe in an interview with Sideline Sources: “When we played the Lakers in LA and I got that put-back dunk. I’d say that’s the one moment in my rookie season that I took off.”

Confidence is good, but I want to see his numbers “Take Off” after he gets serious minutes this season.
I didn’t understand the quote correctly until I read the full thing. I thought he meant something else by “took off”.
But I think he’s saying that dunk is the one true time he fully elevated for a dunk in his rookie season. I thought there were some others he fully elevated on. Like the rockets dunk, jazz dunk, and wizards dunk. But damn, if we haven’t seen shaedon at his highest, we are in for one of the best highlight dunkers in the history of the game, no exaggeration.
I’ve been saying it since it happened, but this was the best put back dunk in the history of basketball. No one has been able to change my mind on that. Shumperts put back is the only one you could even make an argument for, and it’s still not even that close.
I already know what play he is referring to but I got to watch it back anyways
the fact that i was at this game and saw it in person makes me so happy, was fucking SHOCKED when it happened… it rocked the whole arena so hard
