Tayshaun Prince Puts Ibaka and Friends on Poster, Twitter Loves It
It turns out there's still some lift left in Tayshaun Prince's old legs after all. In fact, quite a bit of lift, as it so happens.
In Wednesday night's Game 5 matchup, Marc Gasol came up with a block on Serge Ibaka on one end, Mike Conley hit Prince in stride, and Tayshaun took off from the dotted free-throw circle, dunking over most of the guys in white on the court.
With the initial shock of seeing Prince absolutely dismantle Serge Ibaka and three-fifths of the Thunder on the court, most of the people on Twitter just couldn't handle their excitement.

Prince didn't just throw down a dunk during some heated postseason action, he threw down a dunk in traffic with three defenders coming at him.

Not only was Prince able to throw down what could possibly be the most emphatic dunk of his post-athletic life, but he also came up with a block earlier in the game that made this one of the most highlight-laden games from Prince in the past four years.
"Between that block and that dunk, future generations will think Tayshaun Prince was a legend.
