Rob Dillingham has a brutal wide-open dunk miss against the Knicks

Rob Dillingham stunned the home crowd with his on-field gaffe in Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks match on Sunday night.

Dillingham is halfway through the second season of his NBA career. He initially represented the Minnesota Timberwolves before being traded to the Bulls midway through the 2025-26 campaign.

The youngster got more playing time, getting a chance to showcase his skills in Chicago’s rotation. However, his inexperience tends to show at times, which was definitely the case in the final minutes of the third quarter. He went on a quick break as he tried to dunk but failed in stunning fashion.
