Puka Nacua let everyone know on Friday night that he’s an all-around athlete beyond just being an incredible wide receiver. At the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Indianapolis, Nacua showed off his hops and playmaking skills on the floor at Lucas Oil Stadium.
His best play of the night was a one-handed dunk in the first half, intercepting a pass at midcourt and taking it all the way for the rack attack. Nacua got up pretty high for the dunk and threw it down hard, showing that he’s not there just to shoot jumpers.
PUKA THROWIN’ IT DOWN!!!
