When Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol dunks, it's a special occasion. Despite being listed at 7-foot-1, the ground-bound big man is far more likely to hit a 3-pointer or make a brilliant pass from the elbows than he is to throw down.
During the Grizzlies' 107-91 win over Sacramento Kings on Friday, Gasol had one such moment, though, getting up higher than usual and finishing with an emphatic one-handed slam.
At the time, Gasol felt as if he were flying. However, upon seeing his dunk, Gasol realized he didn't get as high as he had initially thought.
To playfully illustrate the contrast between his perception and reality, Gasol tweeted a photo of his dunk under Michael Jordan's iconic dunk in Space Jam, admitting there was a subtle difference.
