Former Tar Heels have been making some highlight plays in the NBA, most recently [autotag]Cole Anthony[/autotag], whose alley-hoop posterizing dunk over Derrick White sent social media into a frenzy.
Weeks after former UNC guard Coby White baptized former Duke star Paolo Banchero, fans got to witness Anthony soar in the air for a thunderous dunk during the NBA in-season tournament, where the Orlando Magic took on the Boston Celtics.
Anthony, who has become a pivotal part of Orlando’s rebuild, had the opportunity to be on the receiving end of an alley hoop, and what seemed like an impossible finish turned into magic. The nasty slam has since gone viral, with the moment being shared throughout social media, garnering over 1 million views in less than 24 hours.
Unlike the White dunk, this Anthony dunk did come with a win over the Celtics, pushing the Magic to their 11th victory and the No. 2 spot in the east. Let us see how social media reacted to the viral dunk.
