Bills' Keon Coleman Produce Eye-Popping Performance at Charity Basketball Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
If it's a basketball player scoring 60 points in a game this time of year, it's usually Michael Jordan or LeBron James in the NBA Finals.

But last weekend it was a feat accomplished by - believe it or not - a member of the Buffalo Bills.
Granted it was teammate Damar Hamlin's charity game, but receiver Keon Coleman put on an impressive show by scoring 60 points on a dazzling array of long jumpers, acrobatic layups and dizzying ball-handling punctuated by thunderous dunks.
One NFL analyst known for his hyperbole on social media exclaimed that Coleman "could easily play in the NBA!" Let's reel that in a bit. But it's fair to say he's one of the best basketball players in the NFL.
Coleman's day job is being a second-year receiver catching passes from Josh Allen. In his rookie season he grabbed 29 for 556 yards and four touchdowns. Buffalo obviously expects him to make a big second-season leap and be a bigger part of the offense as it tries to finally get over the hump in the AFC Playoffs and into a Super Bowl.

Despite a decent rookie season (one hampered by missing four games with injuries), Coleman is his most harsh critic.
"You want to know exactly what I see? Trash. You got to be better, simple as that," Coleman said of his thoughts looking back on his tape from his first year in the league. "You gotta be more efficient here. You gotta get out of this break. You got to stack your DB. You got to give Josh more room to throw the ball. You gotta catch that."
For what it's worth, Coleman played basketball at Opelousas Catholic School in Louisiana, where he once produced a game with 63 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists.
