Watch: Celtics’ Jaylen Brown posterizes Rudy Gobert with thunderous dunk

Add Rudy Gobert to the long list of NBA big men and star talents who have been on the receiving end of a highlight-reel dunk from Jaylen Brown.

The Celtics wing threw down one of the best dunks of his impressive NBA career on Monday night, posterizing the Timberwolves center during the first quarter.

With 8:37 remaining in the opening frame, Brown made Karl-Anthony Towns bite on a shot fake, slipping past the Minnesota big man at the 3-point line and charging toward the paint.

With Gobert — a three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year — serving as the last line of defense, Brown took flight, elevating over Gobert and eventually knocking him to the hardwood with a seismic dunk.
