Friday's Jordan Brand Classic featured several standout moments, including Jasper Johnson's emphatic first-half dunk. Five-star Arkansas signee Meleek Thomas, who played alongside Johnson, shared his admiration by posting the dunk video on his Instagram story Saturday.
Thomas also commended the impressive piece of skill, describing it as tough in his caption.
"Dis tuff jas," he captioned the post.
In the video, originally shared by "NBA Future Starts Now" on Instagram, Johnson chased down a long pass that took a high bounce, picked it up in stride and slammed a powerful dunk off the bounce. That display sent both the crowd and the commentator into a frenzy.

Four-star Kentucky signee Jasper Johnson didn't just put on a show for fans at the Jordan Brand Classic; he also had a former Wildcat in the crowd watching. On Friday, former Kentucky guard and five-time NBA All-Star John Wall was in attendance for the Jordan Brand Classic game.
Wall represented the Kentucky Wildcats in the 2009-10 season. Notably, he once set Kentucky's single-game assist record with 16 assists. Also, in his lone season with the Wildcats, he won the USBWA National Freshman of the Year and the SEC Player of the Year awards.
John Wall was inducted into the University of Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame in 2017.
