Milos Raonic throws down a dunk in Celebrity All-Star Game (Video)
By Jack Crosby
Milos Raonic showed that he has a lot more than tennis skills with this dunk on Friday night.
Friday night we’re getting to see the latest edition of the Celebrity All-Star Game, and generally when it comes to this contest, we don’t get to see dunks a lot. Many of the participants in this game don’t really have the requirements necessary to pull that off, but this year was a little different.
That’s because 25-year-old tennis player Milos Raonic is playing for Team Canada in this one and he just so happens to be 6-5.
As the second quarter was winding down and the first half was coming to a close on Friday night, Raonic was wide open under the basket. With no one around him, he took the ball and threw it right down.

Alright, that’s not the most emphatic dunk that you’ve ever seen, but it fits for this game where you don’t see a lot of that all too often. It was one of the more exciting moments of the first half, and maybe he can get another one down in the final two quarters.
