Myles Turner Takes Possession of Gordon Hayward's Soul with Savage Dunk
Some folks maintain that when a basketball player posterizes another basketball player with a dunk, they symbolically assume ownership of said player.
If there's any truth to this theory, then Gordon Hayward now belongs to Myles Turner.
While Indiana was being humbled yet again at home against the Celtics, the aforementioned Turner gave a super-bored Pacers crowd a small flicker of hope with a rage-filled dunk late in the first half.
Viewer discretion advised:
That was so very wrong.
This dunk was so absurd that a Celtic on the bench could barely contain himself.
Just noticed Semi on the Celtics bench hahaha

Always great when bench guys have to stifle their shock and awe b/c their teammate just got banged on.

The whole sequence was just exquisite, with Turner exploding through the lane and nearly jumping clear out of the gym before breaking Hayward's spirit permanently.
In fact, Gordo's family may never look at him quite the same way again, but at least he has his gaming to keep him occupied.
It's a damn shame that the Pacers were sent home so soon, because we'd be totally down with some more of that.
Because dude's really good at it.

However, we do have access to technology that allows us to look at other poster jobs from the past, so behold:
You can't unsee that.
