Players from the Cleveland Cavaliers are spending some of their summer practicing together and preparing for the new season.
During a recent practice match shared by Isaac Okoro Fan, via Hoop Central, new recruit Max Strus showed off his skills.
In a pretty surprising and exciting moment, Strus dunked over Cavaliers big man Jarrett Allen.

Strus is six-foot-five and Allen is six-foot-eleven, which makes his move even more impressive.
It also turned heads because Strus isn’t traditionally known as a player who dunks.
Instead, he is usually called upon for his shooting and his ability to space the floor.
The Cavaliers didn’t make a bunch of huge moves during the offseason but the addition of Strus could end up helping them an awful lot.
During his three seasons with the Miami Heat, he got progressively better in many ways and averaged 11.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 2022-23, mostly coming off the bench for the season.
When the Cavaliers acquired him, they saw Strus as a talented player who could be a pivotal part of the team’s second unit.
Cleveland definitely needs that.
Although they hold some serious talent with Allen, Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Evan Mobley, the team looked shockingly thin when the last postseason started.
They were one of the best and most promising teams during the regular season but they fell apart when the pressure of the playoffs began.
Strus has been in the postseason for the last three years and is ready to step up on the big stage when his new team needs him.
