Like father, like son.
Larry Nance was the winner of the first NBA Slam Dunk Contest back in 1984. A little over 20 years later, Nance's son, Larry Jr., is showing the basketball world that being able to perform highlight-reel jams runs in the family.
The 22-year-old Wyoming alumnus displayed those Nance family hops on Sunday night against the Detroit Pistons, avoiding Andre Drummond for an incredible one-handed smash.
