Maybe trying to emulate Vince Carter’s infamous slam over Frédéric Weis, DeMar DeRozan nearly threw down a jaw-dropping in-game dunk Tuesday night.
Playing for USA Basketball in an exhibition game against China, the Raptors all-star attempted a 360 over a Chinese defender in the dying minutes of the blowout. Unfortunately DeRozan just missed, drawing a foul on the play instead.
Check it out for yourself:
In the background of the video, you can see DeRozan’s teammates going nuts on the bench as No. 9 hangs from the rim afterward.
You can bet LeBron James had the same reaction from his couch, and the King took to Twitter in awe of what could’ve been.
