Anthony Davis Dunked On Ron Baker But Baker Had The Last Laugh On Instagram

Anthony Davis put Ron Baker on a poster on Saturday night, dunking on him in a game between the New York Knicks and New Orleans Pelicans in NOLA. Kristaps Porzingis almost helped the Knicks come back to win it in the end, but the signature moment of the game will go down as AD’s big dunk.

It was a great one, but it was punctuated by a flying effort from Baker to stop it. Unfortunately for Baker, it didn’t go too well for him.

Davis sent Baker flying, and later to the locker room. It’s always embarrassing when you get put on a poster, but this is pretty unique. Not only was Baker hurt on the play, he was nowhere near stopping Davis from throwing it down. Here’s a photo of the dunk, in case you needed to see how silly it was for Baker to attempt the block here.

There’s also the little problem of what happened to Davis’ face. He posted on Instagram the end result, which was not only him appearing on SportsCenter for all the wrong reasons, but a nice shiner to boot.

That looks pretty bad, but at least he’s having a sense of humor about the whole incident. Bruises heal, after all, and he’ll be back on the court to potentially get dunked on again soon enough.
