UNC basketball's Drake Powell wows Tar Heels with Michael Jordan-like block vs American

Posted Nov 16, 2024
As American guard Colin Smalls drove toward the basket for a layup, Drake Powell jumped off two feet, snatched the ball out of the air with two hands before it got to the rim, and cleared Small’s body before he landed on the court. “I’ve never seen that in my life, in person,” Seth Trimble said. “I don’t even think I’ve seen that on TV. Yeah, he’s different.” (Fayetteville Observer)
