When you think of the most famous dunks of the years passed, who do you think of? Definitely LeBron James, Warrior's JaVale McGee, mostly all professional basketball players in the NBA. No one would think of a Division ll student-athlete. More specifically, a talented and driven 5'11 guard from Clark Atlanta University who also attained a 4.0 GPA, might I add. Derek Harper, Clark Atlanta University's senior guard for the men's basketball team scored a team-high 20 points in the Panther's 76-73 win against Lemoyne-Owen January 2, 2017. However, it was his outrageously finessed dunk and achievement of reaching 1,000 career points that night that has ESPN, NCAA, and Bleacher Report talking about him! Harper's impeccably flawless drive into the paint while using his defender as a stepping stone led to the most intense dunk of the year, (so far). It was so intense that his teammate, Tajai Johnson, was blown away. Literally. He collapsed to the floor. Lights out. Game over. Everybody go home. Derek Harper has been named a Dunk of the Year candidate, and sports journalists are calling it the dunk of the century. Hats off to you, Mr. Harper! Huge congratulations to the Clark Atlanta University Men's Basketball team for such incredibly talented players and incredibly deserved media exposure. Go Panthers!
