Davante Adams was an outstanding basketball player when he was young. To this day, his hardwood background still helps him as a receiver, whether it’s a release at the foul line or a run on the route.
It also helps him win 50-50 balls because although he is known for his skills, he can improve with the best balls. Adams took to Instagram to share a story about a highlight-reel dunk that was reminiscent of his youth.

The Rams shared the clips on TikTok, showcasing Adams’ athleticism and resiliency — and still do to this day. Take a look.
Adams wasn’t lying. He may have won the NBA Dunk Contest with some of those dunks.
