Indiana Pacers forward Johnny Furphy rocked the NBA 2K26 Summer League on Monday with perhaps the dunk of the tournament. With a little over three minutes left in the second quarter, the 6-foot-7 former Kansas star skied high for a rim-rattling slam. Furphy's dunk over Bulls rookie Noa Essengue quickly became viral.

Furphy casually brought the ball to the Pacers' end of the court after the Bulls missed a shot. He suddenly accelerated once he reached past halfcourt. Chicago's defense was caught napping, forcing Essengue to race to the middle of the paint to challenge the drive. Furphy punished the Bulls by throwing down a dunk that could become the best in the summer league.
