On Wednesday night against the Bulls, Orlando Magic rookie guard—Elfrid Payton—gave his teammates and fans a reason to get up on their feet by delivering arguably the best highlight play of his young career.
Almost mid-way through the second period, Payton followed up a missed shot from Victor Oladipo by soaring towards the rim for the vicious put-back slam dunk over the contesting Taj Gibson, and also drew a foul.
The Magic have certainly have a bright future ahead with this kid. Nice athleticism rook.
