CHANDLER BEING BODY COY TERRY @HAWKSNAISMITH
The crowd at the Hawks Naismith Showcase was electric, every possession fueling the atmosphere with a sense of awe and anticipation. Chandler was in the zone, already putting up 38 points in a scoring clinic that left the opposing team searching for answers. With each basket, the gym seemed to shrink, Chandler’s presence taking up more space than anyone could handle.
Late in the fourth quarter, the momentum shifted dramatically. Chandler received the ball on the wing, scanning the floor. With a quick crossover and a burst of speed, he darted into the lane, his eyes locked on the rim.
Standing in his path was Coy Terry, a gritty defender known for his willingness to sacrifice his body for the team. Seeing Chandler barrel down the lane, Coy planted his feet, hoping to draw the charge and spark a comeback.
But Chandler had other plans. Rising into the air, his body seemed to defy gravity. Coy stood his ground, but it was no use—Chandler soared over him, delivering a thunderous dunk that shook the backboard and sent the gym into chaos.
Coy hit the hardwood as Chandler hung on the rim for an extra beat, staring down at the fallen defender before dropping to the floor. The crowd erupted, phones capturing every angle of the poster-worthy moment.
Coy grimaced as he got up, but even he couldn’t hide a smirk. The dunk was a reminder of why Chandler was on another level that night. The final buzzer sounded soon after, cementing Chandler’s 38-point masterpiece and a highlight that would live on in showcase lore.
