There are few things in sports more humiliating than getting posterized, and Hawks center Clint Capela now knows how that feels.
Late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game between the Hornets and the Hawks, Miles Bridges delivered an electrifying dunk over Capela that had everyone jumping out of their seats.
After beating a defender, Bridges had a clear lane to the basket but Capela, admirably, tried to get in his way but nothing was stopping this freight train as Bridges’ body knocked Capela and his arm swung down like a hammer through the hoop.
Bridges was fired up, as was the Hornets bench, where you could tell an injured Lonzo Ball was smiling ear to ear through his mask.
But no one may have been more excited than the Hornets commentator, whose call of the dunk was unmatched.
There were just as many social media reactions to the call of the dunk as the dunk itself.
