NEW YORK, NY – NOVEMBER 5: Kristaps Porzingis /

Best Dunk

Not only did this play result in the Best Dunk of the week, it probably was one of the better blocks of the season — too bad, there’s no award for that here.

Kristaps Porzingis shows off the range he has, flying down the court and using all 7-foot-3 of him to block Josh Jackson and then take the pass on the other end and throw it down.

That was also the game where Porzingis scored a career-high 40 points and led the Knicks to a victory. While it’s still early in the season, it doesn’t seem like the Knicks are missing Carmelo Anthony yet.

Porzingis shows off his amazing ability in this play, throwing the ball down on one end and rejecting Jackson on the other. That kind of performance is deserving of the Best Dunk award.
