On Wednesday, December 14th of 2016, Larry Nance Jr submitted another entry for Dunk of the Year by reminding people former #1 pick Anthony Bennett is still in the league and then posterizing/murdering Brook Lopez. The baptism was so nasty, the Nets bench even reacted. So nasty, his own teammates were in disbelief and looking like they just saw something horrific. So nasty, even players on other teams were tweeting, "damn!" So nasty, nobody gave a damn the Lakers actually lost the game and Brook Lopez had 20 points compared to just 6 by Nance.
Here's a list of the top 5 reactions to it.
5: DAMIAN LILLARD
4: THE NETS BENCH AND PEOPLE BEHIND IT
3: NANCE AND THE LADY UNDER THE BASKET
2: METTA WORLD PEACE & THE LAKERS BENCH
1: TIMOFEY MOZGOV (A MAN WHO KNOWS ALL ABOUT GETTING DUNKED ON)
DUNK OF THE YEAR
Dame was right about the dunk being the best of the year. It even won "Dunk of the Year" at the inaugural NBA Awards in 2017.
Nance also considers it the best dunk of his career:
"One of my favorite teammates ever, but my favorite dunk ever. That's a mountain of a man."
And here are some of the best dunks from his father.
Larry Nance LIVED above the rim.
