San Antonio Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan has been known for his elite athleticism and high flying dunks since he entered the league in 2009. Now, 11 years later and the four-time All-Star is proving that he still can slam it with the best of them.
In the second quarter of the San Antonio's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies, Spurs guard Derrick White went up for a tough, contested layup. White missed but after not being boxed out, DeRozan rose over Dillon Brooks for the putback jam and the foul.
