In a thrilling showdown at the United Center on Friday night, Chicago Bulls forward Jalen Smith delivered one of the season’s most electrifying highlights by posterizing Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid with a ferocious baseline dunk.

With the game tightly contested in the final minutes — trailing by just three points under two minutes remaining — Josh Giddey found Smith cutting baseline. The 6-foot-8 big man exploded to the rim, rising over the reigning MVP for a thunderous two-handed slam that rattled the basket and ignited the crowd.

Commentators erupted, calling it a “major rack attack” as Smith powered through Embiid’s contest.

The play sparked a decisive 10-0 Bulls run to close out a 109-92 victory, flipping the script on a close affair.

The NBA’s official account quickly shared multi-angle replays, amassing tens of thousands of views as fans marveled at Smith’s athleticism.

Ironically, Smith has been on the receiving end before. In January 2023, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant unleashed a breathtaking poster dunk over him during a Grizzlies-Pacers matchup, widely regarded as one of Morant’s career best.

Nearly three years later, Smith flipped the narrative, turning the tables on an elite defender like Embiid in spectacular fashion.
