LEXINGTON, S.C. – Legacy Early College (Greenville, S.C.) wing Coen Carr can throwdown an Eastbay dunk as easily as most players can make a layup, and his Michael Jordan-esque windmill from the free-throw line earned him Chick-fil-A Classic slam dunk champion hardware on Tuesday night.
“I love dunking,” Carr said. “It’s just a chance to use my athleticism and I can get creative with the dunks sometimes.”
Still, Carr is fully aware that the gift and the curse of a 45-inch vertical leap is the infamous label that accompanies it.
“People see highlights of me dunking a lot and then they think that’s all I can do,” said Carr, a 6’5” junior wing.
