Step-back 3? Illinois center Kofi Cockburn destroys Illini students at campus rec center
Published:
A few Illinois basketball players decided to crash a rec center game on campus and it made for some ridiculous shots.
Center Kofi Cockburn not only dunked over one of the students, he also hit a step-back 3 on one as well.
Kofi Cockburn, Damonte Williams and more @IlliniMBB teammates pulled up to the campus rec center and dominated some classmates in pickup 😂

Da’Monte Williams was also seen in the video (a little before halfway through it) draining a 3 over someone and then giving him a little bit of trash talk after.
Williams will be going into his senior year for the 2021 season and has been the starting point guard each of the last 4 seasons. In 2020, he appeared in 31 games and averaged 5.5 points per game and a tad over 5 rebounds a game as well.
As for Cockburn, he’ll be going into his junior year after having 2 outstanding seasons in 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. In this past season, he averaged 17.7 points per game with 9.5 rebounds per game. He also shot a tad over 65% from the field.
Those numbers are all better than what he did in 202o, though those are also very impressive. For that season, Cockburn finished with 13.3 points per game and 8.8 rebounds per game, plus shot 53.2% from the field.
