Andreas Athanasiou's got hops.
The Detroit Red Wings forward went up for an impressive slam dunk at Little Caesars Arena Wednesday while the hardwood was down for their roommates, the NBA's Detroit Pistons.

This wasn't the first time Athanasiou showed off his basketball skills on camera.

At 6-foot-2, Athanasiou has a clear knack for getting above the rim, and maybe
he could teach the Vancouver Canucks
a thing or two about playing on an NBA court.
If there's ever a team pickup game, we know who's getting picked first.
