Twitter reacts to James Wiseman’s block and dunk in transition sequence vs. Pistons

After James Wiseman threw down a “Giannis play” that featured a block, sprint to the basket and dunk against the Pistons, Twitter exploded.

The combination of Andrew Wiggins and Steph Curry led the Golden State Warriors to a win against the Detroit Pistons in the final stop of a four-game road trip.

With Curry scoring 31 and Wiggins adding 27 points, rookie James Wiseman was quiet in Golden State’s 116-106 win against the Pistons.

After scoring 18 and 19 points in the first two games of his career, the 2020 No. 2 overall pick tallied six points on 3-of-9 shooting from the field with six rebounds, two blocks and an assist in 22 minutes against Detroit.

Although Wiseman didn’t fill the box score against the Pistons, the Memphis product added an exciting play to his first season highlight reel.

With 6:30 remaining in the fourth quarter, Wiseman declined Mason Plumlee with a block. Following the rejection, the 19-year-old seized the basketball and proceeded down the court in fastbreak fashion.

Wiseman finished his run to the bucket with a powerful one-handed slam. Along with his block and dunk, Wiseman displayed smooth handles in the open court and a crafty euro step in the lane.

After Wiseman’s “Giannis play,” social media blew up with messages about the Golden State young big man. Here are some of the top reactions to Wiseman’s dunk on Twitter.

“Elite” was a word thrown around quite a bit.
