While NBA Summer League matchups don’t impact official records, the confrontation between the summer squads of the Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls on a Friday night in Las Vegas was a spectacle filled with unforgettable moments.
Toronto’s new recruit, Alijah Martin, made a stunning entrance by dunking ferociously over several opponents. The 6’2″ guard soared from near the free-throw line to deliver a poster dunk on Bulls’ center David Muoka.

Shortly after Martin’s display, the Bulls had their moment to shine.
After intercepting the ball, Bulls’ sophomore wing Matas Buzelis found himself with an open court, executing a dramatic windmill dunk to finish the fast break, a type of play usually reserved for solo pre-game routines.

During his rookie season with the Bulls, Buzelis averaged 8.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, shooting 36.1% from beyond the arc.
Martin was selected by the Raptors in the second round as the 39th pick in the recent draft. Following his significant contribution to the Florida Gators’ national championship last season, where he averaged 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, Martin also showcased his scoring prowess with memorable dunks during the NCAA tournament.
