An alley-oop thrown to Tim Bond brought down the house in Baltimore, Md., Monday night.

The 6-foot-7 guard graduated from City College High School in, “The Greatest City in America,” as Baltimore is nicknamed, where he led his high school team to a 27-0 record and a 3A state championship in 2014.

“High school; it’s just the atmosphere, it’s like a high level division one college game to me,” Bond said. “Fans are always screaming and booing other teams and they get yelling. I just love the atmosphere.”

That type of atmosphere carried over into this game as Bond would get the loudest ovation of any of the players in the arena that day, which included the Coppin State University players.
