Luka Dončić sent the NBA world into hysteria on Friday night.
The sensational Dallas Mavericks star just had one of the best dunks of his career. Dončić hasn’t been shy about pulling off highlight plays in the past. But he might have outdone himself with this poster dunk.
Dončić and the Mavs have a huge lead over the visiting Portland Trail Blazers. Dončić has 33 points as of writing, and two of them came off a monster dunk. And the dunk got everybody to jump out of their seats.
“POSTER,” the NBA’s Twitter account emphatically tweeted Friday night after the dunk.
POSTER.
