When Rayjon Tucker was with the Philadelphia 76ers, he turned heads with incredible leaping ability. The 6-foot-3 high-flier is still doing so, as a recent clip of his just went viral on social media. 

These days, Tucker no longer finds himself in the NBA. His professional career is continuing overseas, currently playing for Reyer Venezia. They are an Italian team that plays in Lega Basket Serie A along with the EuroCup. 

In the clip, a player on the opposing team tries to keep the ball in play by chucking it up-court before falling out of bounds. Tucker manages to steal the pass and then proceeds to throw down a vicious dunk on that same player. 

So far this season, Tucker is averaging 7.5 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 3.0 APG, and 1.5 SPG. 

Before going to play overseas, the undersized guard did manage to hang around in the NBA for a few years. Among his stops was the Sixers, where he inked a two-way deal during the 2020-21 season. 

He primarily played with the Delaware Blue Coats but did make some appearances at the NBA level. In the 14 games Tucker played in, he averaged 2.4 PPG on 50% shooting. While in the G-League that season, he led the team in scoring at just under 20 points per game. 

After being waived by the Sixers, Tucker had brief stints with the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks. He would play in a total of five games for the two franchises before being out of the league and moving on to play overseas.
