Five-star forward Brandon Miller's highlight reel just got a little better.

Make that a lot better.

Miller, a Cane Ridge 6-foot-8 senior and Alabama signee, had his most impressive slam dunk of his career Tuesday night early in the fourth quarter of a blowout win over host John Overton.

Miller took the ball upcourt to run a halfcourt set. He used a teammate for a pick to get loose from his defender just cross the halfcourt line and drove to the basket, jumping over a defender in the paint and threw down a one-handed dunk.

Yes, he jumped over the defender, who was attempting to set up for a charge.

Miller scored 36 points in the 89-71 win over the Bobcats. He is the No. 1 player in Tennessee for the Class of 2022 according to the 247Sports Composite and No. 3 small forward in the country as well as No. 10 player nationally.

He is averaging 26.2 points in 15 games this season.

Miller signed with Alabama in November, picking the Crimson Tide over Kansas, Tennessee state, the Australian NBL and the NBA G League
