Derrick Jones Jr. literally took flight to throw down the most difficult slam in the NBA Dunk Contest on Saturday night.
He caught the ball off the backboard, put it between his legs and then slammed the ball home while kicking his leg out for the emphatic slam.

Jones earned a 50 for that dunk, which got him to the finals. But Glenn Robinson III emerged victorious, in a close race.
