An NBA player dunking with San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama in the general vicinity has been a rare sight this season. But Golden State Warriors rookie forward Trayce Jackson-Davis did one better than that on Monday night.
The No. 57 pick from the 2023 draft put the No. 1 pick on a poster with one of the most impressive dunks of the year.
With 1:15 remaining in the game and Golden State holding an eight-point lead over San Antonio, Jackson-Davis took it straight to the basket with Wembanyama on him and viciously threw down a powerful one-handed dunk. It sent the Warriors bench into a frenzy, and even head coach Steve Kerr was seen in disbelief after witnessing the finish.

Kerr’s reaction, paired with the announcers completely losing their minds, matched the responses from social media.
