Trayce Jackson-Davis humiliates Victor Wembanyama with a game-sealing poster dunk

Victor Wembanyama is 7’4″ and boasts an enormous 8-foot wingspan. Normally, that leads to a lot of balls being swatted away by the San Antonio Spurs rookie phenom. But tonight, the tables were turned on the French superstar, when the Golden State Warriors rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis humiliated him with a poster dunk.

The short-handed Golden State Warriors were leading with 1:15 left in regulation. Jackson-Davis surveyed the court and backed down Wembanyama. When Wembanyama reached in to try and knock the ball out, Jackson-Davis drove into the space created on the left-hand side. He continued driving to the basket and launched for a huge poster dunk on Wembanyama.

The play left fans stunned by Jackson-Davis’ audacity to go up against the league’s best shot blocker. His teammates chest bumped him for this show of courage. Generally, the league’s best big men try that move on Wembanyama. But for a second-round pick who is half a foot shorter to try that move was unprecedented. The poster dunk was the highlight of the perfect payback game after losing to the Spurs 2 days ago.

The play seemingly put the game out of reach for the Spurs. The Warriors were playing without Stephen Curry. Draymond Green also fouled out with 2:43 minutes left in the game. The youngsters led by Jackson-Davis played a solid defensive game to win against the Spurs 112-102.
