Watch Raptors guard Terrence Ross posterize Kenneth Faried

On Friday night, with Toronto leading 58-53 over the Denver Nuggets, Ross was on the receiving end of a sloppy turnover by the Nuggets. After picking up the loose ball, Ross dribbled strongly towards the lone defender Faried, a known shot-blocker.

Ross then soared high above Faried’s outstretched arms and dunked in one of the most explosive plays of the game, if not the Raptors season.

In NBA parlance, Ross “posterized” Faried, meaning this Ross dunk will likely be featured on many posters showcasing the young guard’s talent. By association Faried is in the unenviable position of being the defender attempting to disrupt the play.

Ross is the 2013 All-Star Slam Dunk Champion, the first Raptors to win the honour since Vince Careter in 2000.

Friday the Raptors beat the Nuggets 100-90.

The Raptors won in Denver for the first time since the 2002-03 season and recorded their first 11-win January in 12 years.
