NBA Twitter reacts to KJ Martin’s poster dunk on Ivica Zubac

Now in his third NBA season, KJ Martin is making a push for consistent starter’s minutes with the Houston Rockets. The 21-year-old is averaging a career-high 11.2 points (51.4% FG) and 5 rebounds in 25.5 minutes, and his elite athleticism and defensive versatility makes him a potential spark plug across the frontcourt.

Just ask Ivica Zubac and Robert Covington of Monday’s opponent at Toyota Center, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Martin threw down a pair of emphatic second-half dunks as Houston attempted to claw back into the game, including a jam directly over Zubac that sent the home crowd and Twitter into a frenzy. The 6-foot-6 forward drew a technical foul for his astonished reaction, but it was a small price to pay to celebrate a career highlight.

Here’s a look at Martin’s highlight dunks, along with the wild reaction from fans across social media after it all went down. Unfortunately for the Rockets, Houston lost, but attendees were at least able to enjoy the impromptu dunk contest.
