Tobias Harris takes inbound pass from Victor Oladipo of the Orlando Magic and then simply proceeds to throw down a monster dunk all over Charlotte Hornets’ Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

In a pretty lackluster game featuring the now 11-24 Charlotte Hornets taking on the 13-24 Orlando Magic Tobias Harris takes the inbound pass from Vic Oladipo and posterizes Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in a pretty incredible fashion.

These two teams may be struggling in their records, but they are a pure joy to watch and create some pretty show stopping highlights every time they take the court. Tobias is one of the more athletic and fun players to watch in the whole league and if he keeps up what he is doing I would not be surprised to see him become a household name.

Both players had very good nights from a statistical standpoint as MKG delivered 17 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and a block. This was MKG’s second double-double in a row as he has been playing some of the best basketball of his career as of late. Tobias turned in 18 points with a block and a steal. He also posted 11 rebounds with 5 of those being of the offensive variety. In seasons that are growing dim for both franchises it is nice to have these young players producing so well while keeping the crowds entertained.

The great news for both clubs is with the state of the Eastern Conference and even with their bad records the Magic are only 2.5 games and the Hornets 3.5 games out of the 8th and final playoff seed. Even though making the playoffs would eliminate both teams chances of a lottery pick it would be a great thing for momentum to sneak into the playoffs.
