Scottie Barnes owes one of the rims at the Chicago Bulls arena an apology.
Barnes showed why he was a 2021 lottery pick for the Toronto Raptors Monday night in what may well be one of the best dunks you’ll see this NBA season.
On an offensive possession, Barnes drove in the ball to the rim on a Bulls defender and capped off the play with an earth-shattering slam dunk that even Chicago fans had to have been impressed by.
Seriously, you can feel your computer screen shake with the sheer force of basketball that Barnes dunks that sucker in with. It’s an amazing bucket.

Chicago isn’t the place you’d expect to feel an earthquake, but Barnes’ amazing dunk might’ve registered on the Richter scale. He’s already off to a historic season for Toronto, becoming the youngest player in Raptors history to net a triple-double.

The Florida State great will need more plays like that this season to help the Raptors keep pace in the Eastern Conference.
