However, US football superstar Myles Garrett also has an affinity for the orange ball. Not devoid of talent in the field, he was even “recruited” by the Cavaliers for the summer league! The opportunity for him to put on a show with a big dunk.
When you are able to make Zion Williamson look like a kid, is that you are one hell of a physical specimen. That’s a fitting description for Myles Garrett, one of the best defensemen in American football. With a frame of 1m91 for 123 kilos, the defensive end is a real ferocious beast, and stopping him is a real chore for his opponents. This does not only apply to his flagship discipline, however, as he is also quite good with the orange ball.
Last February, he had thus made a carnage during the All-Star Game, participating in the celebrity match. A few months later, it is this time on the side of the Summer League that we can find him. Superstar of the Cleveland Browns in the NFL, he was indeed “integrated” into the roster of the local basketball team before the meeting against Denver. He was present in the locker room, just like on the floors where he did not go unnoticed!

If he did not really participate in the Cavs game against the Nuggets (84-76 defeat), Garrett still provided the show with some big dunks in the warm-up. Once again, the colossus demonstrated all his power, but also his agility when climbing the hoop. With a little practice, he certainly wouldn’t steal his participation in a Slam Dunk Contest.
However, the person concerned was not only there to amuse the gallery, he was also present to encourage the men of Ohio. He therefore sent them a beautiful message, on the sidelines of the meeting:
I needed to come and show my full support for this team. Basketball is a sport that I love, it’s part of my life. The Cavs were great, they even made me a real home and away jersey. It’s awesome.
While waiting to start the competition next September, when the NFL will resume its rights, Myles Garrett is having fun on the basketball courts with the Cavaliers. Gifted as he is, we certainly wouldn’t say no to seeing him slam dunks again!
