Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen showed off his impressive skills with an incredible trick shot before the game against the Utah Jazz on Monday night, as the team faced a delayed start due to issues with the rims at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.
The 6-foot-11 center, who is averaging 13.2 points and 10.1 rebounds per game this season, hit a backward shot from half court, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Allen has been playing some of the best basketball of his career this season, earning strong reviews for his defensive play and consistently putting up impressive numbers on the box score. He’s in his fourth full season with the Cavs, whom he joined in 2020-21 as part of a trade that sent James Harden to the Houston Rockets.
The Cavaliers have been one of the bright spots in the NBA this season, jumping out to a 19-4 record to start the year and losing just once in December. They will look to keep their momentum going with a four-game road trip that starts on Friday against the Denver Nuggets.
