Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins showcased his athletic prowess during a celebrity basketball game held at Oak Ridge High School on June 20. Higgins, who played basketball before committing to football, was a standout performer, hitting multiple deep shots and scoring a memorable slam dunk, although his team fell short by two points.

Point guard Bobby Maze, who coached Higgins in his youth, expressed pride in seeing his former player give back to the community by participating in such events. With Higgins already enshrined in the Oak Ridge High School Sports Hall of Fame, his dual-sport background raises interesting questions about his potential had he pursued basketball at the collegiate level. Such versatility is a testament to his athletic skills, which may enhance his value in fantasy football leagues as he continues to impress on the field.
