Social media reacts to Trevon Brazile's dunk for Arkansas basketball — even LeBron James
FAYETTEVILLE — Highlight-worthy dunks aren't uncommon for No. 10 Arkansas basketball, and especially not for forward Trevon Brazile.
In Wednesday's 71-56 win over South Dakota State, Brazile threw down an epic slam late in the game that immediately made waves on social media.
Brazile, a 6-foot-10, 212-pound sophomore transfer from Missouri, has been coming off the bench for Arkansas in its first three games. He has two double-doubles, including a 13-point, 10-rebound performance Wednesday.
Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said after the game that his 12-year-old daughter, Mariah, had already informed him that Brazile's jam was going viral. Even LeBron James saw the play, sharing the clip to his Instagram story with the caption, "My GOODNESS!!!!!!"

Arkansas forward Kamani Johnson was assessed a technical foul for taunting after the dunk.
"I did tell the team in the locker room, like, 'Let's not give two points right back by getting the technical,'" Musselman said. "Let's act like we've seen that play before. Not that we ever have."
