Jabari Parker had a coming out party of sorts Friday night.
The Milwaukee Bucks forward was playing for Team USA versus The World in the Rising Stars Challenge, an exhibition game during All-Star Weekend festivities in Toronto.
In a game filled with high-flying highlights and admittedly lacking any sort of defensive intensity, Parker may have pulled off the most memorable play, dunking over heralded New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis.
In NBA parlance, Porzingis was “posterized.”
“Jabari Parker went big-game hunting and bagged himself a Zinger!” the TNT announcer exclaimed during the live broadcast.
“Can you say nasty? This guy was injured last year, an ACL injury. This shows you how hard he’s worked over the summer,” the color commentator said.
Parker also engaged with some back-and-forth verbal jousting with Spike Lee during the game, a la Reggie Miller.
All of it good signs for Bucks fans.
Parker scored 12 points in helping to lead Team USA to a 157-154 win in the game.
