DeMar DeRozan Crowned Rudy Gobert with Poster Dunk

Nice try, Rudy.

It's always fun when one of the game's best dunkers attacks an elite shot blocker.

That's exactly what happened in Salt Lake City on Wednesday night, when Toronto Raptors swingman DeMar DeRozan went at Rudy Gobert, who ranks second in the NBA with 3.22 blocks per game. In his breakout year a season ago, he placed fourth in the NBA in blocks per game at 2.30, but that mattered little to DeRozan, who obliterated the defenseless Gobert.

DeRozan might have thrown down the early dunk of the season, but it was the Jazz who had the last laugh, topping the Raptors 93-89.
