NBA Summer League action is unfortunately winding down but rest assured, former USC star Isaiah Mobley made his mark on Sunday afternoon. First, the Cleveland Cavaliers forward threw his defender a pretty pump fake at the top of the three-point line. Then, he dished the rock to his teammate, Sam Merrill. Merrill then fed the ball right back to Mobley on a beautiful give-and-go. Mobley caught the ball in stride in the middle of the lane. That’s when he rose up and threw down a vicious dunk on Jordan Hall. Hall was a little bit late rotating over on defense and he paid a very dear price for it. He jumped with his arms in the air, fully extended, only to be posterized by Mobley in mid-air.

The dunk was all over social media, as it should have been. What a beautifully executed play and what a dunk by Mobley. That’s how you make sure somebody remembers your name!
