Over the course of the NBA season, we’re going to get a lot of amazing moments in so many different ways. If it wasn’t a hard cross that sent a defender to the canvas, it was a rim-shattering dunk that had people rising out of their seats. Sometimes we watch in awe when a player like Stephen Curry or Damian Lillard knocks down a killer three-pointer from 40 feet away.but what houston rockets What guard Jalen Green did to the Portland Trail Blazers’ Anfernee Simons over the weekend should be illegal. A new candidate for Dunk of the Year has entered the room.
Green’s dunk was one of the dirtiest, dirtiest dunks in the game in a while. The actual dunk itself wasn’t entirely unusual, but the whole scene of Green leaping over Simmons and thundering down was what made it so. There’s also the part where the announcer says “On the Simmons Dome!” That might actually have put it in the first place.
Again, this is the NBA, so we see a lot of dunks, but the way Green lifts the basket over Simmons and then steps up again is a sight to behold. This is one of those situations where Simmons would be better off not jumping. Props to his defensive attempts, but man. Fortunately for Simmons, today’s posters are no longer what they were 30 years ago. He’s still posterized, it’s just that it will live forever on the internet rather than on the bedroom walls of little boys across the country. On second thought, living in shame on the world wide web could be worse.
as you can see, Green is not afraid because he has already participated in the Slam Dunk Contest, although the result was not what he hoped for. The simple fact that he competes illustrates his competitive passion. Unlike others, they will remain anonymousbut avoid the competition like the plague.
On the other hand, the other side of Green’s dunk, if you’re on the receiving end of it like Simmons was, it’s best to stay off social media for 24-48 hours. Because that episode will be replayed, analyzed and scrutinized, just like we are doing here. It’s all in good fun and happens to the best people. But for those of you who don’t like criticism, put down your devices (if possible) and snort the powder.
