The former UNC basketball players in the pros are having a lot of fun dunking on former Duke Blue Devils during this current NBA season.

First, Coby White threw down a MASSIVE dunk over Paolo Banchero.

Now, White’s former teammate with the UNC basketball program, Cameron Johnson, decided to join in on the fun.

In the Brooklyn Nets’ nail-biting loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night, Johnson threw down a poster dunk of his own as he finished the slam over Mark Williams, who just so happens to be a former Duke Blue Devil!

Of course, the UNC basketball vs. Duke rivalry is the greatest in all of sports (whether you think we’re biased or not!) It adds to the fun when former players from both teams compete against each other, especially when they create highlight-reel plays against their former college rivals.

The dunk was impressive in itself- as evident by the reaction from the Nets’ bench. To add to it, it makes it even more impressive that he was able to finish at the rim over Williams, who has earned a reputation as a very good rim protector.

We’re not keeping score (okay, maybe we are), but that’s two poster dunks in favor of the guys in the right shade of blue!
