Product placement

Alex Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks small forward) - ACTS: He is shown playing basketball and performing a 360 dunk. Removing him would change what happens in the video. Milwaukee Bucks (NBA team) - APPEARS: The team name is shown on screen during a Google search for Alex Antetokounmpo. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

What you're looking at right now is an NBA player in motion for a 360 jump shot over neon. And yes, it went in. There are genuinely levels to this shit. This is Alex Antetokounmpo and he's way closer to LeBron than we are to him. And it's so crazy because even the bummiest of bench warmers in the NBA are on a whole different level when it comes to this shit. Just goes to show like, NBA pros are on a whole different level when it comes to this.
