Jump. Man. John. Fulkerson.
Former Tennessee forward John Fulkerson returned to the court for the first time since leaving Tennessee this weekend. Fulkerson took part in the 3X3U Tournament, an event in which 16 four-man teams representing Division I schools across the nation compete in a three-on-three tournament.
While playing for the Dirty South team consisting of SEC (Fulkerson) and SoCon players on Friday night, Fulkerson dropped one of the best dunks of his career in the tournament. Fulkerson took the pass on the wing, threw a pump fake on his defender, and went full Air Jordan on the rim.
