WATCH: Trayce Jackson-Davis Posterizes Victor Wembanyama on Vicious One-Handed Slam
For most of the NBA season, the rookie who has garnered the most attention has been San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama. Golden State Warriors rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis changed that on Monday night.
Jackson-Davis went viral on Monday night after posterizing Wembanyama with a vicious one-handed slam. The former Indiana basketball standout threw it down while falling to the floor, igniting the entire Golden State bench.
The crowd in San Antonio was also pretty impressed with the move Jackson-Davis put on Wembanyama. Below is the dunk from the former Hoosier. Go ahead, watch it as many times as you'd like:
To put it in terms of today's youth: That's just nasty.
Wembanyama is the young superstar everyone has raved about. He has the potential to be the NBA's next big thing. But Jackson-Davis showed no fear when going one-on-one with the Spurs star.
The dunk from Jackson-Davis was the highlight of the night, but the rookie had a huge impact on the game. He scored 13 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in a double-double effort off the bench. The former Hoosier also dished out five assists.
Golden State defeated San Antonio 112-102. It was the first game the Warriors have won without Steph Curry on the floor. They were previously 0-4 without their sharp-shooting guard.
For what it's worth, Wembanyama had a big game for San Antonio, too. He finished the night with 27 points and 14 rebounds. Unfortunately for him, that's not what anyone is going to be talking about from this game.
