Harrison Barnes has not shot particularly well during the NBA Finals. Although he improved on the corner three during the regular season, it has not really fallen against the Cavs. In Game 5, Barnes still made his presence felt by throwing down a couple of thunderous dunks. One of them was on LeBron James and the other was on Timofey Mozgov, both got the Oracle crowd in a frenzy.

Today, the Warriors made some headlines for a dunk that was performed during practice, but it wasn’t Barnes or an actual player for that matter. Anthony Davis’ future head coach, Alvin Gentry, dunked during their practice in Cleveland. Now, Gentry is 60 years old and needed a little help to made the dunk happen, but it’s still very impressive.
Jarron Collins, an assistant with the Warriors and former NBA player posted the video on his Instagram. Collins calls him, Alvin “skywalker” Gentry:
Yes, it did take him two times to get it, but Gentry got it done. At 60 years old, that’s pretty impressive and the best part is the reaction he got after he threw it down. The entire team was there to celebrate with Gentry as the old man proved he still has something left in the tank.
LeBron James is the best player on the plant and he’s right, but teams win championships and the Warriors have been a well oiled machine all season long. They genuinely are enjoying this journey together which could culminate in a championship if they win Game 6 in Cleveland.
