Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya threw down perhaps the best dunk of the season over Tristan Thompson and, to add insult to injury, the rookie proceeded to stand over him afterward.
Doumbouya, the youngest player in the NBA, received the ball above the 3-point line, put a move on Kevin Love to get into the lane and proceeded to meet Thompson at the rim. Thompson immediately set his feet in the restricted area and the rook did the rest.
Doumbouya showed no signs of hesitating for the dunk once Thompson stepped in his way. The Pistons’ bench immediately erupted into cheers and seemed to enjoy Doumbouya stepping over Thompson after putting him on the poster.

Doumbouya would go on to finish with 15 points and two rebounds as the Pistons defeated the Cavaliers, 115-113. Doumbouya has now scored in double figures for the fourth-straight game after recently becoming the first rookie in franchise history with double-doubles in each of his first two starts.
Now, Doumbouya can add a poster dunk to his season stats…
