Phoenix Suns’ Gerald Green puts on a dunk show against Lakers

Nov 5, 2014, 6:19 PM | Updated: 6:20 pm

Gerald Green is pretty good at basketball.

He’s exceptionally good at dunking.

The Phoenix Suns’ swingman had himself a dunkfest in Tuesday’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers en route to scoring 26 points off the bench. First, he threw down an alley-oop courtesy of Isaiah Thomas. Then, he destroyed former Arizona Wildcat Jordan Hill, and then he used some ferocity while finishing a fast break.

It was quite a show for the former slam dunk contest champion, one made better by the fact that it came against the Lakers.
