NC State's DJ Burns Jr. Drops 29 PTS vs. Duke in the Elite Eight | 2024 March Madness 

As Nikola Jokic once said "Don't bet against the fat boy"

Shaq would be proud. Bbq chicken alert

I never understood why ppl hated watching post players. Everyone in the building knew what DJ was about to do down there, and there wasn't a damn thing Duke could do to stop it. To me, dominance is always exciting

post spin HOF

This man scored 29 spamming the same button 🔥😮‍💨‼️‼️

DJ is playing back to the basket, real nba old school traditional bball....

I see why Joker loves him hehe.. just bullying people in post and beautiful looking left hand shots

Burns vs Edey will be the matchup of the tournament

Jesus didn’t bleed Wolfpack red for the Devil to win on Easter.

Jokic brought me here

Bro looking like tim Duncan out here how do you stop him😭😭

This is basketball all those Forwards and Centers on duke never played ball like this in they whole career big wake up call This was beautiful to see on this stage Basketball needs this!!!

Phenomenal🔥 his game reminds me of Jokic, nothing crazy flashy. Just a big man getting to the rim, hitting clean jumpers and getting nothing but net😤

JOKER LOVES THIS GUYS SKILLS! All LOVE

People say Zach Randolph because hes left handed, I see more Al Jefferson. Big Al was a load down low.

Dude is him

1:56 was sick.

DJ Burns Jr's footwork tho... he's fawkin huge AND spins like a dancer

People have forgotten how dominant a big body can be. YOu can be as athletic as you want, but if you on chopsticks against a strong and heavy centre, be ready to be man handled. There a re no more dominant centres around. This is a breath of fresh air.

DJ Burns is a modern day Zach Randolph...smooth lefty.

Baby Jokić. Old fashion basketball. Respect for this kid

He is a cheat code!!! 🔥🔥

Zach Randolph Jr....Big Baby DJ 😎

Absolutely lethal drop step + great touch. Can't stop that.

Zach Randolph 2.0

This feels so good to watch a man of his size play like this and he went to my highschool

Im pulling for NC State ....

this guy is the man!!

That foo cooked them

Foot work on point.

What a true big man. Haven’t seen one in a while.

This is the basketball we all love watching. College is more watchable than the nba.

He really is that guy.

Great story! This man is truly enjoying himself. Gotta love it

Why do these highlights not include some of DJ's passing? Yes he looks and posts up like ZBo, but some of the passes and reads he makes remind me a little of Jokic and Sengun. Either way he's a super fun player to watch for sure

DJ Burns has been crushing it this March, he has amazing touch and footwork. Congrats Wolfpack on your incredible run , hope you guys go all the way. ( UNC fan here ).

DJ BURNS is the father of the Duke Blue Devils

That mf’n fake turnaround spin thingy was amazing. Footwork, skill, finesse. Go DJ!

Footwork in the post is craaaaazy dude really like that

Dude went to work‼️😳

Wow. Burns is awesome

The NC State defense took Duke out of its catch n shoot 3 point offense. Duke kept trying to get it but it wasn't there. Then they'd dribble n drive and hurry a shot. Not their game. They weren't cold. NC State did it to them. And of course... Burns tore them up on offense. A demolition in several ways. And oh... Duke was severely outcoached. They should get off the 5 star gravy Nike train and recruit better athletes.

🔥🔥🔥

Wow he’s making it exciting watching someone post you up

We are seeing 2 bigs take over the tournament.

This is how the game is meant to be played.

He’s sooo tufff🔥🔥🔥

Yea he’s my favorite college player. Can’t wait for him to get to the league

I do not care who you are with team wise 40 years of watching college basketball some players are just special. This young man is a vibe. Can't help but to have fun watching him play & just going.

Watching NC State these last few games is the most fun I've ever had watching college basketball man. I'm praying they can pull it off in Phoenix

This is simply old school big boy post play at a high level. He has good footwork and amazing touch on his shots.

"real old school big man"💪👌🙂 Lovely to watch 😎

Now imagine a team of Burns and Jack Gohike

He’s a senior citizen playing against 18 year olds

man he is skilled

My new favorite college player.

That drop step is nasty

He control the ball verywell❤

Watching Burns parents is great. There’s nothing like the love of the family unit.

That dude is a boss lol

I love Big guys that know how to use it on the basketball court

Finally a BIG that plays BIG

Dj burns is my Spirit animal

Seeing such a big dude play ball as well as he does is so cool lol.

He make me wanna play 2k I love this dude game man

He’s putting on for the Big Community 🫡

So nice to see power post play with skillz

Its rare to see bigman like dj now..

He absolutely took over this game

It's pretty cool to see how giddy Jokic is talking about him. Like he genuinely enjoys the way he plays. Especially coming from him. He doesn't seem like one that talks much about other players.

This man is incredible. Amazing footwork and feel for the ball. I seen a ZBO reference to his game. Amazing

Can't wait to see him match up with edey

Jokic skills in (scaled) Zion(esque) body!

my man is bringing back the big man to the game thank the Lord

I think we’re going to see the New Age of the big men in the NBA real soon. So much young Talent at the C/PF position

Refreshing to see this type of game. Taking it slow and easy with a smile 😂 go wolf pack coming from a tarheel. Thanks for beating Duke again.

The moves are just so simple you can never guess

Nah he a dawg🔥💪🏾

His performance was epic.

He the gameplan , Somebody gone shut that down

I'm here after Jokic commented this kid and i really like it. He really is skilled, he understands basketball. Seems like good kid to.

He’s bringing back the old school play style for big men, not to mention he has great footwork. As a Duke fan I couldn’t even be mad at his performance.

Amazing player, never heard of him until today!

He’s super skilled.

He is simply a wonderful aircraft carrier.

the amount of travels here is crazy

Great to see Zion competing again! But seriously, that spin move is slick..

Americas big man.

Say go dj that's my dj

He showed them what he was going to do, the knew what he was going to do, and they couldn’t stop him anyway.

Come to Denver!

Bro is like an anchor holding the ship in place.

This dude is my favorite in all of sports right now. Took that filipowski kid down a few pegs too

Drop step, spin, bucket

NC State!! "Why Not Us"!!!

D J Burns eatin', today! 😂

Dropstepper badge on HOF

I'm a fan.

DJ burns is such a sick name

Announcer said at some point you gotta help 😂 after about that 3rd post up buddy wasn’t even trying to guard no more lol
