Javale McGee Video: Watch Jose Calderon Get Posterized by Nuggets' Dunk Master

At least Jose Calderon hustled back on defense. So he's got that going for him on this play. He may have been well-served to stop that hustle about two feet sooner, though. 

The unfortunate series of events started for Calderon when he offered up a lazy pass. It was tipped and picked by JaVale McGee, and the high-flying McGee was off to the races. 

Undoubtedly fueled by the burning embarrassment of a terrible pass, Calderon hustled back and tried to get himself between McGee and the rim. The problem was that he was too late and back-pedaling into the circle of no return for would-be charge inducers. 

It should have been a foul, and the refs likely would have called it as such if they weren't internally "oohing and ahhing" over the impressive dunk, and it was impressive. 

The 7' McGee carefully placed his steps so he could glide into a smooth, one-footed takeoff. He then rose the ball way over his head—which was soon about 6 feet over Calderon's head—and slammed it down without even noticing Calderon was there.

Calderon was not in an enviable position. And just for good measure, he was sent flying right through the Raptors' crazy 3-D logo under the hoop. So I guess we can say that Calderon also had the fact going for him that the logo is an illusion. 

It would have been typical of the play if he had been sent hurtling into a real sign.
