No one, probably not even Harris himself, expected him to throw it.
At 33, Harris has lost some of his athleticism, but has shown that his fearlessness remains intact.
Fans must have loved his dunk on the poster.

“Unc T comes through the flush,” published @saganjudah144.
“A drug test awaits him at halftime,” he joked @notiouknovsimba.
Harris was a a key part in the Pistons’ resurgence since joining in 2024. It’s his second run in Detroit. He provided veteran leadership and a steady presence to help develop the team’s young core.
At the time of writing, the Pistons trailed the Spurs by just two points at halftime, 57-55.
