Nobody wants to get dunked. Unless you're Brandon Knight and inexplicably try to disrupt a Chris Paul/DeAndre Jordan alley-oop. That's what happens when you play with fire. The only guys that get a pass for getting dunked on are shot blockers. For every time guys like Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo got blammed on, they can point to their fair share of dunks they've blocked. But guys like Knight, Steve Nash, and Derek Fisher do it to themselves by thinking they actually have a shot at either foiling the play or at the very least drawing a charge. Needless to say, they all ended up on posters in your little cousin's room So, in remembrance of Brandon Knight, check out this gallery of Ridiculous NBA Poster Dunks.
