Aren’t the best dunks when little guys throw it down over big guys?

In that vein, we bring you Portland’s Damian Lillard getting up and throwing it down over the late-rotating Nene from Monday night. Lillard is athletic and aggressive, plus makes the kind of decision you see from a guy who spent four years in college not just one. (Not that all his decisions are perfect, they just are generally more mature than guys three years his junior.)

It wasn’t enough. The Wizards got the win because you can’t stop Jordan Crawford from 30 feet out.
