[Saba Sports News] At the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Indianapolis, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught everyone’s attention, possibly even LeBron James’, with his impressive dunking skills.
Nacua showcased his athletic prowess at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, executing a standout tomahawk dunk in the first quarter and wrapping up with a powerful dunk towards the game’s end. His performance was a highlight of the event, contributing 16 points to Team Shannon’s 100-91 victory over Team Stephen A.
While Nacua’s dunks were the talk of the night, the celebrity game MVP went to another NFL player, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. Parsons dominated the game with 37 points and 16 rebounds, demonstrating versatility and skill with moves like a Euro step that echoed NBA star Luka Dončić’s style. An interesting moment occurred when Italian high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi attempted to take a charge against the formidable Parsons, who cleverly opted for a more finesse move to avoid collision.
Parsons’ MVP win marks the second consecutive year an NFL player has claimed the title, following Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf’s win the previous year.
