Pacers’ Jay Huff unleashes Statue of Liberty dunk on Heat

Jay Huff pulled off an astounding dunk highlight in the Indiana Pacers’ matchup against the Miami Heat on Saturday night.

Huff is going through his fifth season in the NBA, his first with the Pacers. He has been a journeyman to start his career with Indiana being his fifth team, but has found a starting role due to injuries on the roster.

The young center has taken full advantage of the opportunity, as he showed with his clutch highlight in Indiana’s game against Miami. The play took place early in the fourth quarter as Huff had the ball on the 3-point line then drove his way into the paint. He then leaped in the air to cap off the play with a strong one-handed jam.
