Kevin Durant welcomes Toronto Raptors rookie Jonas Valanciunas to the NBA with a monster dunk.

this is a nice simple play wb and kd on a pick and roll. they should do this more often

[Dxixixs]

I'm Llithuanian but KD is a beast! Hands down he's the best to me ;)

[flouflis]

couldn't agree more. it is the best move to try your best for your team, even though sometimes the chances of success are low. but, what we are discussing is the fact that KD got posterized by a much smaller player, and now that he posterized valanciunas, who is kinda like durant in height, he gets freaky about it.

[derisme]

I love Barg's pissed off face at the end.

[likwitjey]

At least he tried to go for the respect that...you either get dunked on or you block the

Espestacular Ah eso se le llama volar que bestia

[MrGedze]

Valanciunas played it smart his main problem is too many faults, he just steped back, best option in this situation

[martiszx]

BARGNANI's DEFENSIVE PLAY OF THE YEAR!
"I'm not guarding Durant, you guarding him".

[FreshFromDaBasement]

You will probably get dunked on once in your NBA campaign/career. But props to him for actually trying for the block instead of watching, ups for that.

[LokTar_Ogar]

smart play by jonas, knew he wasn't going to get the block so he reached his hand back so kd doesn't get an AND ONE, good job jonas

[IsSiauliu]

Everybody, who knows basketball, understands that it was a defense fail NOT by Jonas. He just tried to help his teammates, who let KD to roll to the rim. And the title "has in mind" that it was Jonas's fault. He still don't understand, that in NBA it's better to step away, than try to block, because if you step away, you'll never be "posterized" and THATS matters in NBA..

Every rook has to be put in their place. Welcome to the NBA JV. I still support!

[ccchrv]

[ChiBullsOrlMagic]

I guess you can say...
*Puts on glasses*
HE GOT THUNDERSTRUCK
YEAAAA

[derisme]

I agree at least Val had the balls to try and contest that dunk. some guys would have just stood there. check out the highlight video of Javale Mcgee's dunks on Detroit last night, dudes on the Pistons just stood and watched him dunk cause they didnt wanna be on a highlight video.

[Pardonmystudios]

We here at Pardon My Sports think the poster should have the caption: Whatthalanciunas? Keep those pads on!

[TheFrosbe]

So he needs the time... And I am from Lithuania too, but I push like, becouse that was really good.

[MrKImpossible]

Jonas Valanciunas could've easily attempted to block and prevent the dunk. But as you can see it was just a smart move, he moved his hand back to prevent a 3 point play...
