Prepare for dunk-based humiliation
The Los Angeles Lakers destroyed the Golden State Warriors 117-97 on Friday night — and Larry Nance Jr. added insult to injury with one of the most demoralizing dunks you'll ever see. As the young Lakers forward rose toward the rim, he reached out and gently carressed David West's face, dunking all over the Warriors veteran while everyone watched in astonishment.
You've seen the highlight — and if not, scroll to the bottom of this article — but you might not have seen Nance's slam from all the angles. Fortunately, we've got you covered.
"I must break you."
A slam dunk or a baptism? You be the judge.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no …"
Steph Curry has that look on his face that you get when one of your very good friends (but not someone in your real inner circle) is about to get in a fight they can't win with their significant other. He knew; there was just no time to warn West.

"Do I call a foul? Nah."
I like to imagine that this official was on the verge of calling a foul, saw how awesome the dunk was, then just let the whistle fall out of his mouth. Good call, ref.
Klay knows. He KNOWS.
“Welp.”
… and so does this guy
Before anyone else realized what was happening, this Lakers fan jumped out of his seat. Maybe he's psychic?
(Also, poor Lakers assistant Brian Shaw.)
Drake wasn't ready for annihilation
The rapper/superstar/sports-bandwagon-jumper reportedly traveled with the Warriors on the team plane to Los Angeles, which might explain the glum look on his face as he realizes that one of his newest favorite players is about to experience basketball doom.
After the game, Drake was (not actually) spotted in a classic Nance throwback jersey, trying to dunk on anyone who came near him.
The people who will say they saw it, but didn't
Typical Lakers fans. The ball's on the other side of the court, so they're checking their phones. Hopefully, they saw the Vine when it came across their timelines.
