Like father, like son.
No one threw down windmill dunks like Atlanta Hawks legend Dominique Wilkins.
His son Jake evidently got the gene.
Jake is playing for the University of Georgia, and he threw down this impressive dunk this weekend.

Jake will have a lot of ground to cover to live up to his father's ability, though.
The thing about Dominique Wilkins is that he wasn't just a dunker. He was also one of the best scorers of his era, or any era for that matter.
Dominique was a bucket who just so happened to be able to take flight like few ever have.
No one will ever forget his dunks. But he made an NBA career out of being an incredible scorer.
For Jake to ever reach those heights, his game will have to continue to evolve.
But it's definitely cool that he's got the matching windmill dunk trait.
