Try Mann is currently one of the primary bench options in the backcourt.

The Charlotte Hornets faced the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA Cup encounter at Barclays Center. The Hornets failed to end their five-game losing streak on the road as the Nets overcame Charlotte 116-115. Apart from that, Try Mann stole the show with his dunk in the third quarter and we all know, how he has mastered the technique.

Can we call it “Dunk of the Year”?

The 23-year-old guard was considered a bench option and appeared for just 26 minutes in the game. During the dying stage of the third quarter, Tre Mann gave fans a replica of the iconic dunk.
