Game 4's most brutal dunk on a Raptor came from a young Bucks fan
If you thought the Milwaukee Bucks’ light-hearted but blatant disrespect toward the mascot of the Toronto Raptors would end with playing the “Barney & Friends” theme song while introducing the Raptors’ lineup during their playoff series, you were mistaken. Delightfully, delightfully mistaken.

During a stoppage in play in Game 4 of the first-round matchup between the third-seeded Raptors and sixth-seeded Bucks at BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, the Bucks held a dunk contest on the court featuring young fans strutting their stuff and throwing down. It’s a big staple of game-ops entertainment we’ve seen often over the years at NBA games … but this time, the Bucks broke out the big guns. Or, rather, the inflatable dinosaurs.

The kick? Brutal. The spin? Balletic. The finish? Beautiful.
Maybe it wasn’t quite as acrobatic as the dude whose number she’s wearing …
… but, in its way, it was just as hurtful to the Raptors and their adherents. I wholeheartedly agree with the judges: 10s all around for this young dunker.
