McDermott's dunk Butler-approved: 'Jimmy said it was good for a white boy'
Steven Branscombe / USA TODAY Sports
Chicago Bulls sophomore swingman Doug McDermott, who's putting together the best stretch of his career, punctuated a win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night with perhaps his finest in-game dunk.
After McDermott blew past a John Wall closeout, drove baseline, and crammed all over Markieff Morris, he got this look of approval from injured teammate Jimmy Butler:
Butler reaffirmed his (relative) respect for the unexpected aerial display after the game.
"Jimmy said it was good," McDermott said, "for a white boy."
