You see a lot of dunks, especially when Jaxson Hayes is on the field. However, we rarely see a play like the one tonight from the Lakers big man, who launched on the counterattack he performed an “East Bay Dunk”, passing the ball under his right leg before sinking it to the basket to put the exclamation point on the yellow and purple victory in Chicago. A play that caused the Luka Doncic’s incredulous reactionwho clasped his hands as if in prayer while looking at the bench before starting to laugh, and which led him to comment on it even after the match. While teammate Jake LaRavia jokingly downplayed Hayes’ athletic gesture (“He didn’t even jump that high, the only one who does it well in this league is Obi Toppin“), Doncic added “I did it too when I was a kid, I have the video!”. In fact, the Slovenian wasn’t lying: a few minutes later the video of him making a dunk by passing the ball under his leg appeared online, even if it was a play tried during a break from training and not in the game.
