Jabari Smith delivers Dunk of the Year with incredible tomahawk throw down
By Keith Farner
Published:
Jabari Smith left his Auburn teammates speechless, and at least a couple with their hands on their head in disbelief.
With 1:03 remaining in the game, Smith delivered a one-handed tomahawk slam over Brandon Huffman of Jacksonville State, who fouled Smith in an attempt to stop him, but to no avail. Smith finished with 20 points and 14 rebounds, but the final 2 will be remembered and likely plastered all over Auburn posters and highlight videos for years to come.
After the game, Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports asked Walker Kessler his initial impressions, and Walker was held speechless.
