Watch Xavier Henry’s monster dunk, best jam of the year so far?

Share via

In the third quarter of the Lakers’ game against the Pelicans on Tuesday evening, Xavier Henry made a monster dunk that is being talked about as one of the top jams of the season so far.

Henry pump-faked past the three-point line, then drove down the center of the lane to the basket. Pelicans rookie center Jeff Withey attempted to take a charge, but he was too far under the basket and instead ended up poster material as Henry elevated over him for the left-handed dunk.

The dunk was replayed twice on the giant screen at Staples Center, the crowd wildly cheering both times.
