Christian Braun’s Unreal Poster Dunk Over Rudy Gobert Goes Viral

On By Littum

The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves played a very exciting game on Friday night at the Target Center. These two teams have had some great matchups over the years, including in last season’s Western Conference Semifinals.

Minnesota defeated the Nuggets in seven games last season, and Denver entered this game hoping for a victory over their conference rivals in the rematch. While the Nuggets didn’t secure a win in this game, falling by a final score of 119-116, Denver guard Christian Braun had one of the games of the season.

Braun lifted up for a poster dunk over four-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert and threw the two-handed slam that led to double technical fouls on him and Gobert.

This dunk has gone viral on social media, with several major sports outlets releasing the highlight.

Via NBA: “CHRISTIAN BRAUN DETONATION COME TO ESPN FOR THE FINISH!”

Braun’s teammates immediately ran to his defense after Gobert made contact with the 23-year-old guard. When deciding on double technical fouls, the officiating crew did not award either team a free throw as the technicals canceled each other out.

“OH MOOOO DON’T JUMP THE CB,” the Nuggets wrote in their post about this dunk.

The NBA world has been buzzing since this highlight play for Braun, and while the season is still very young, this will likely stand as one of the best dunks of the year when this season is done.
