Miami Heat forward Okaro White, participating in the D-League All-Star game, showed off an impressive windmill slam.
Before helping the Miami Heat run off 13-straight wins, Okaro White was a D-League standout for the team’s affiliate the Sioux Falls Skyforce. While the Heat don’t have any players participating in the NBA’s All-Star events, White is playing in the D-League All-Star game.
During the game, White showed off an impressive windmill dunk.

It’s partly due to this athleticism that White is no longer in the D-League. The Heat signed White to a two-year contract after he played out a pair of 10-day deals. The Heat went 13-0 in White’s first 13 games, before dropping two straight to the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic. The Heat beat the Houston Rockets in their final game before the All-Star break, giving them a record of 14-2 with White on the roster.

Of course, White isn’t responsible for the stretch of winning, but he’s played well in his time on the court. White is averaging 4.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 16.1 minutes per game off the bench and has scored 10 points twice this season.
The Heat sent White back down to the D-League so he could participate in the All-Star game, but he’ll surely be brought back up for the team’s next game after the break is over.
