The Las Vegas Summer League has not skimped on highlights in its early stages. Basketball fans have been treated to an assortment of delectable dishes and aerial assaults.
Tuesday, it was Philadelphia 76ers rookie J.P. Tokoto's turn.
Tokoto's Twitter handle, @AirPierreTokoto, could not be more apropos, as the 58th pick in the 2015 draft is clearly capable of getting off the ground.
It should be noted, however, that no oop exists without its corresponding alley. And so, we must pay homage to the man who provided Tokoto with such a perfectly placed pass - Pierre Jackson.
Jackson recently signed a 4-year deal with the Sixers.
If this Tokoto hoop-and-harm doesn't impress, try these on for size:
