Glenn Robinson III showed why he is one of the bright young stars in the league with this great chase down block.

Glenn Robinson III, from the Indiana Pacers, became well-known throughout the NBA because of his great dunks and crazy athleticism. There is more to Robinson than just dunking, which is evident if you have watched him play. He oozes potential and has a bright future in the league.

The Indiana Pacers played against the Atlanta Hawks today in a close game with the final score coming out to 97-96 in the Pacers favor.

Tim Hardaway Jr was running down the court and got the pass from his teammate and dribbled down the lane to try and get to the rim. He was able to get around CJ Miles with a pump fake and thought that he had a clear shot at an easy layup.

Then Robinson came running down the floor.

Robinson trailed Hardaway down the court and waited for his chance to strike. He had his opportunity when Miles was no longer able to make a play on the ball. Robinson then swatted the ball into the seats and saved the Pacers on defense.

Robinson had a successful game, posting 11 points along with 4 rebounds. Oh, and he also hit the game-winning three.
