Is there anything that Cleveland Browns‘ defensive end Myles Garrett can’t do?
Last season, he had the third-most sacks among all NFL players with 16.
The 4.5 sacks he had against the Chicago Bears was the highlight of his campaign.
However, he’s not just making highlights on the gridiron.
Instead, Garrett is also putting up posters on the basketball court.

The tweet above from ESPN’s SportsCenter showed Garrett taking an outlet pass before going for the vicious slam dunk.
He was one of the draws during the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Cleveland.
Garrett put on a show by soaring high before converting a thunderous jam off the transition.
That was not even his best dunk in the game because he converted a windmill dunk off a steal.
He doesn’t have an off switch when he’s competing, even for exhibition’s sake.
That said, he should have joined the Slam Dunk Contest as it was the worst attraction for the entire weekend.
Slam Dunk Contest Lacked Electricity
Perhaps Garrett could have injected some energy into the Slam Dunk Contest if he participated.
The New York Knicks’ Obi Toppin eventually won the competition which the judges did not feel emotionally.
It’s more like Toppin won because he tried to not lose.
Garrett might have sparked more attention if he became a guest participant.
The dunks he made were more exceptional than the ones in the contest.
While the dunks he converted were fantastic, Garrett’s Team Nique, coached by Dominique Wilkins, lost to Bill Walton’s team, 65-51.
Peloton instructor Alex Toussaint became the game’s MVP after scoring 18 points.
If Team Nique won, Garrett could have been MVP after finishing with 13 points and eight rebounds.
