How social media reacted to AJ Dybantsa’s jaw-dropping viral dunk vs. Abilene Christian

AJ Dybantsa has quite the highlight reel already through 12 games at BYU, but his latest feat may be his most impressive.

In the first half Friday night against Abilene Christian, Dybantsa grabbed the rebound from a missed Rob Wright III 3-pointer and threw it down for a one-handed slam in one fluid motion, sending the Marriott Center crowd into hysterics.

The dunk quickly went viral online as one of the best in all of college basketball this season. Here are some of the most notable reactions.

AJ Dybantsa failed his physics class because his professor refused to believe that AJ wasn’t bound by them https://t.co/XZLhgPWlRS

That AJ put back dunk has to be on the mount Rushmore of BYU dunks. Just an unbelievable play from an unbelievable athlete.
