Michigan State’s Adreian Payne couldn’t have done it any better.
The Spartans senior put up a perfect 360 dunk in the College Slam Dunk Contest. But it was the celebration that really set the bar high: He rolled the ball into a group of his competitors and “knocked them over” like bowling pins.
His secret weapon? He had Lacey Holsworth, a young cancer patient he befriended last year, touch the ball before the dunk for good luck.
