Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. absolutely obliterated Los Angeles Clippers forward Montrezl Harrell at the rim with an insane posterizing dunk on Monday.

Porter Jr.’s father, Michael Sr., clearly approved of his son’s highlight-reel finish.

Porter Jr. is doing his best to give the Nuggets a 2-1 lead over the Clippers in the second round of the playoffs.

The Nuggets were able to grab Game 2 on Saturday. The younger Porter finished the 110-101 victory with 11 points on 5-of-10 shooting. He added seven rebounds as well.

Porter Jr. missed all of last season with a back injury but has burst on the scene during the 2019-20 campaign.

During the regular season, he averaged 9.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in just 16.4 minutes per game.

He has shown a fantastic touch, as the University of Missouri product shot 50.9 percent from the field and 42.2 percent from 3-point range during the regular season.

Porter Jr.’s huge dunk in Game 3 could help energize the Nuggets to take command of the series.
