"Got that NBA character in him": Hoops fans react as BYU signee AJ Dybantsa pulls off an insane dunk in his last possible game for Utah Prep

AJ Dybantsa, the No. 1 player in the Class of 2025 (per On3's Industry Rankings), could have played the last game in his high school career. On Saturday, Dybantsa represented Utah Prep in the 64-61 loss against Fort Erie Academy at The Grind Session in Lawerence, Kansas.

However, like his usual performances, AJ Dybantsa's last possible game featured an impressive display worthy of a highlight reel. In a video posted by photographer Michael Ade Ojo on Instagram, the small forward did an impressive behind-the-back move to create space and ran in the paint to throw down a two-handed dunk over the Fort Erie defender.

"Evil J0rdan ft. @aj.dybantsa," the post was captioned.

The hoops fans were elated by his dunk and took their reactions to the comments section:
