Nikola Vucevic destroys Pau Gasol with monster dunk image

The Bulls' Pau Gasol isn't known to be a great defender, but the Magic's Nikola Vucevic put him on a poster nontheless on Monday night.

Vucevic got the ball on the right block as time wound down in the third quarter. The Orlando big man gave Gasol a jab step to the baseline, then drove to his left to put home a slam.

Although Gasol tried to contest the dunk, he ended up on his butt on the baseline wondering what hit him.

Then again, so did Vucevic.

I'm sort of the mindset that if you fall down on your own huge dunk, it makes it less cool. Even moreso if you're a big, plodding cat like Vucevic.

Still, too bad for Pau. Getting yammed on is never fun.
