Nets youngster Clarkston previously dunked James in the win over the Lakers, which also gave him confidence. In an interview, he said the sky was his limit.
"It was one of my favorite dunks, the best moment of my short NBA career," Clarkston said of the dunk James.
In the Christmas war, the Nets, who lacked Durant, defeated the Lakers led by James and Westbrook under Harden. With 40.7 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the game, Harden and Clarkston cooperated to complete the air-to-air dunk, and Clarkston received the ball to face james who was defending to complete the two-hand gap, and made a foul to complete 2+1.
In this game, although Clarkston only got 9 points and 6 rebounds, he still brought a lot of help to the Nets, and this critical moment dunk also made him famous and made him more confident.
"I'm going to become more confident, and the sky is my limit," Clarkston said.
In the next game with the Lakers, which was yesterday, Clarkston had 18 points and 5 rebounds when the Nets beat the Clippers, and played 8-of-9 from the field and played well again. The 22-year-old is now contributing more and more energy to the Nets.
