Team USA’s march to the 2024 Olympics continued on Monday with an exhibition game against Team Australia.
The game gave multiple NBA superstars more chances to show off their skills and build great chemistry together.
One of those players was Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics, who got the crowd on its feet after a massive dunk over his Australian opponents.
The moment was shared by Bleacher Report and many other outlets.

Tatum isn’t known to be a dunker so this was an impressive and somewhat surprising move from the reigning champion.
It’s also a testament to just how well-balanced Team USA is.
Tatum is just one of the many great stars on the roster, alongside LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and more.
With so much talent playing for America, fans should expect a lot of moments like this from several stars.
Tatum is having fun and building upon his best season yet.
After years of coming close, his Celtics finally won a championship and silenced the many critics who said they couldn’t go all the way.
Tatum already made his fanbase proud and now he is trying to please his entire country.
These exhibition games allow players to get a feel for what it’s like to compete with each other.
By the time the Olympics start, Tatum and the rest of his squad will have an even stronger connection.
Does that mean he will add a gold medal to his growing trophy collection?
