A pair of former Spartans were part of a highlight-reel play on Valentine’s Day that is worth watching over and over again.
Xavier Tillman threw down a one-handed slam dunk in a match-up on Sunday between the Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings. The play was so impressive that it got fellow former Spartan Jaren Jackson Jr. to celebrate from the sidelines.
Below is a video of the highlight play by Tillman — along with Jackson’s response from the bench:
