Best of Midnight Madness: Makinde London's juggling two-ball dunk
Midnight Madness produces some memorable moments each year, so The Dagger is chronicling the best ones from this October's lineup. If you spot something we missed, let us know here or here.
Before they tried to one-up each other in the dunk contest at Musketeer Madness on Friday night, freshman Makinde London and sophomore Jalen Reynolds competed in a different genre. They participated in a freestyle rap battle. The rhymes from Reynolds and London were decent but their dunks were much more impressive. The 6-foot-9 Reynolds had a nice off-the-glass windmill. The 6-foot-10 London topped that a few minutes later, juggling three balls on his way to the rim before batting away one of them and dunking the other two at the same time. Judges at Musketeer Madness deemed the dunk contest a draw between Reynolds and London, but I think the freshman was robbed. Their rapping skills are about even, but London deserved bragging rights in the dunk contest.
