The New York Knicks took on the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night, and when all was said and done, the Nets walked away with the 110-99 win.

However, that doesn’t mean the Knicks didn’t have their share of highlight reel plays, and one of them came from rookie Cleanthony Early, who had one of the best dunks of the evening.

Although, Brook Lopez might not have appreciated it all that much.

Watch in the video below as Early drives his way to the rim and uses that amazing athleticism of his to slam it home, and posterize Lopez in the process.

That’s the Cleanthony Early that everyone fell in love with during his time at Wichita State the past two seasons when he helped lead the school on their most successful run in history, and this is the Early that Phil Jackson took a chance on in the second round of the most recent NBA Draft.

There were many people wondering how this young man even fell out of the first round, and it’s plays like these that are going to make those teams that passed on him pretty upset.
