Lakers Larry Nance Jr Absolutely Posterizes David West, Warriors

The Lakers continued their strong play against the Golden State Warriors jumping out to a 16 point lead in the first half, capped off by Larry Nance Jr’s posterization of David West

Coming into Lakers’ season, this was to be expected, but Larry Nance Jr caught another body on Friday night and his name is David West of the Golden State Warriors.

Using West’s head as a spring board, LNJ skied and nearly hit his head on the ceiling of STAPLES Center bringing the already wild crowd into a frenzy.

So far, it has been a great night for the Purple and Gold who are wearing their Hardwood Classic throwback jerseys to honor the 1987 championship squad, as the team is providing a bit of new age Showtime of their own.

Though it was Nance who provided the ultimate firework of the first half, Tarik Black and Julius Randle also got in on the action with a few dunks of their own to help put Los Angeles up by 16, yes you read that right, points heading into the half.

Luol Deng also sparked the starting unit with a couple of impressive assists to wide open teammates.

Enjoy a couple more angles and stills of the impressive dunk.

It is too early to celebrate, as a 16 point lead is more like a 5 point lead for the Golden State Warriors but for now we’ll enjoy it and have fun watching the rest of the second half. #LetLarryDunk
