'DUNK OF THE YEAR?!?!' Watch Johnny Furphy throw it down in NBA Summer League vs. Bulls
Tyrese Haliburton took notice of Johnny Furphy's hammer in NBA Summer League action.
The 20-year-old who just finished his Indiana Pacers rookie season wound up and threw down a dunk Monday against the Chicago Bulls' Noa Essengue in the second quarter.
Haliburton, recovering from Achilles tendon surgery, responded on social media: "Johnny MF Furphy sheeeeeesh🤯" and "Your favorite players (sic) favorite player".
It's not Furphy's first rim rattler: He brought the Pacers bench to its feet with a similar play late in the regular season.
Furphy, picked 35th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, appeared in 50 games as a rookie, averaging 2.1 points.
