Booth Review: Zion's 360 Dunk
3/29/2020 1:19:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Duke men's basketball play-by-play announcer David Shumate is giving fans an inside look at some of his memorable hoops moments throughout his three years as the Voice of the Blue Devils. The events highlighted during this series are not meant to be a complete listing of all memorable accomplishments, but a sampling of great moments in Shumate's words.

"Anyone who had seen a clip on YouTube from his days in high school knew what Zion Williamson was capable of, but seeing it in person was something different altogether. At 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, he broke the vertical leap record at Duke in the summer of 2018, but even when he took off from the free throw line in Mississauga during a practice on Duke's foreign tour in Toronto the questions seemed to linger, could he do this once the regular season started. Â With too many thunderous answers to count, the most powerful dunker college basketball has ever seen dispatched such questions, making them look silly in retrospect. The high flying dunks against Eastern Michigan, Georgia Tech, North Carolina in Charlotte, and Virginia Tech in the NCAA Tournament were all incredibly impressive, but for me the 360 in Cameron in the ACC Opener against Clemson will always be the seminal moment of his season above the rim."
