Ja’Kobi Gillespie heaved the ball across the court. His pass found Reid Satterfield with a wide-open 3-point look during Greeneville High School’s (Tennessee) matchup with Knox Halls High School in March 2022.

Rather than taking the shot, Satterfield spotted and fed Ja’Kobi, who snuck behind two defenders toward the hoop, with a bounce pass to the rim. Ja’Kobi slammed down a ferocious one-handed dunk, sending Greeneville’s fans into a frenzy.

One of Ja’Kobi’s football coaches sprinted out of the gym.
