Kyle Lowry has hops? Only for the All-Star Game


I don't know if I had ever saw Kyle Lowry dunk until Sunday night. Lowry had a solid All-Star debut with 10 points, 8 dimes and 4 steals as the East lost to the West All-Stars 163-158 at Madison Square Garden in NY. Kyle Lowry shocked the world (or at least Raptors fans) with a putback slam in the second quarter. Witness it for yourself.

Watch the Raptors James Johnson Show Off His Hops


We all know that James Johnson has freakish leaping ability and has been known to throw down dunks on defenders, so it doesn't surprise me that he can pull off a standing back flip. Check out James Johnson's back flip at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.
