On Tuesday night, Andre Jackson Jr. of the Milwaukee Bucks scored a monster dunk over the heads of multiple players from the Sacramento Kings.
At that point in the game, the Bucks were so far behind that there was no chance of them winning so the dunk didn’t make a huge difference, but it was undeniably remarkable.
It really impressed Kings star Kevin Huerter, whose reaction was discussed with the press by De’Aaron Fox, via ClutchPoints.
“Kevin’s [Huerter] reaction was crazy. I don’t know if y’all saw, I hit him on the head and he’s like, ‘He’s from upstate.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, I don’t care,'” Fox said.

Both Huerter and Jackson hail from upstate New York, which is why Huerter was so excited.
But although Fox couldn’t deny the power of Jackson’s dunk, he didn’t particularly care where the young player was born and raised.
Tuesday’s win was a very important one for the Kings, who took down the Bucks, 129-94.
Even with both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard on the floor, the Bucks didn’t have any answers for the Kings.
In fact, Sacramento limited Lillard to just 10 points in 33 minutes.
Meanwhile, Fox scored 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists, and Malik Monk continued on his quest for Sixth Man of the Year with 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Domantas Sabonis earned yet another double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds.
All in all, it was a terrific game for the Kings, who are currently the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 37-27 record.
This was Sacramento’s first win over Milwaukee in more than eight years, a clear sign that this team is much better than it used to be.
Even with its biggest stars and some amazing dunks, the Bucks couldn’t stop the Kings.
