Anthony Black had himself a night in Germany.
The Coppell native put up 21 points, seven assists and six rebounds as he helped the Orlando Magic to a 118-111 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA’s first-ever game in Berlin.
He also threw down a spectacular dunk in transition over four Grizzlies defenders.
The dunk, which came in a tie game under three minutes to play, helped shift momentum toward Orlando as they closed the game on a 9-4 run to secure the win from there.
After the game, Black rewatched his highlight reel dunk with content creator Mark Phillips courtside.

“I ain’t jump like that since I was at Duncanville,” Black said, laughing.
After starting his high school career at Coppell, Black starred in his senior season at Duncanville when he led the school to a 6A state title in 2022. He was a five-star recruit in the class of 2022 and played his lone college season at Arkansas. He was selected 6th overall in the 2023 NBA draft by the Magic.
