Jaylen Brown puts Kristaps Porzingis on a poster
By Devin Keller
During the New York Knicks-Boston Celtics game on Jan. 31, Jaylen Brown pulled off an incredible acrobatic posterizing dunk over Kristaps Porzingis.
The 2016 third overall pick to the Boston Celtics, Jaylen Brown, is definitely known for some highlight plays.
In his second season, he is putting up good numbers and is definitely worthy to be a player in the NBA who makes an impact each and every game. Tonight, his posterizing dunk swung the momentum 100 percent in Boston’s favor.
Against the Knicks, Brown pulled off a magnificent dunk that will definitely be on Kristaps Porzingis’ mind for a very long time. He didn’t just get simply dunked on; rather, he got absolutely destroyed in every possible way.
The crowd in Boston absolutely erupted after that incredible play by Brown. That play alone summed up the entire game on Jan. 31 between the Knicks and Celtics. While this game is still being played, the current score is 80-64 Celtics right now toward the end of the third quarter. Brown has 14 points on 6-for-14 shooting. The leading scorer is Terry Rozier with 15 points.
Coming off of the out-of-nowhere Kyrie Irving quad injury earlier this morning, the Celtics need to step up to replace the All-Star. Players like Brown, Terry Rozier and even rookie Jayson Tatum are now expected to lead the way. Of course alongside center Al Horford, who seems to be putting a great effort in each and every night for the Celtics.

Brown needs to keep doing insane plays like this to keep us all entertained. This being over Porzingis makes this even better. Porzingis never lets these kinds of things happen, as he usually ends up swatting opponents. Instead, he got a taste of what it’s like to be posterized.
