Great Playoff Moments, Day 8: Golden State’s Baron Davis Poster Jobs Utah’s Andrei KirilenkoApril 27 08  Years ago, grammar teachers attacked Webster’s dictionary for recognizing bling as a word. Well, why not include poster-job? Yes, poster-job. Here`s a definition: to dunk on an opponent with such ferocity that fans scream, fall from their couch, and spill beer. The poster-job then receives more youtube plays than Kim Kardashian’s sex tape. I’ve also got a visual -not of the Kardashian sex tape, but of a poster-job. Rewind to last year’s Western Conference Semi-Finals between Utah and Golden State. Baron Davis, fresh off a career-defining series versus Dallas, was in fine form. The chubby one-guard froze Deron Williams on a shot-fake, attacked the basket with three hard dribbles, and crammed the ball on a rotating Andrei Kirilenko. Oracle Arena went nuts. Davis ruffled his jersey in delight, while teammate Stephen Jackson brushed that dirt off his shoulders. Even mild-mannered, pine-timer Adonal Foyle wrinkled his nose and paced like a man possessed. Of course, Davis’ dunk had little impact on the series; Utah’s rebounding and size helped them prevail. But Webster’s now has a definition of poster job and, perhaps, this word finds a dictionary near you. Is Davis’ dunk the definition of poster job? Get at us in the comment box below.
