Watch: Puka Nacua throws down 1-handed dunk in front of Karl-Anthony Towns at Rose Bowl
Puka Nacua is a football junkie, but he also loves basketball and the NBA. The Los Angeles Rams receiver even wants to buy an international basketball team and be a player-coach after he retires from the NFL. Nacua got a chance to show off his ability in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game two years ago and took full advantage by throwing down a couple of ferocious dunks on the big stage. The lights weren't quite as bright this week when Nacua and Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns hung out at the Rose Bowl for an event but Puka got up once again. He impressed KAT with a powerful one-handed dunk. 'Way more athletic,' Towns said. Nacua has hops, which we've seen on the football field when he's elevated to make some difficult catches. He posted a 33-inch vertical at his BYU pro day in 2023, and while that's not an eye-popping number, he can go up when he needs to.
