Brittney Griner threw down a dunk in the WNBA Finals, and NBA stars sitting courtside lost their minds

• Brittney Griner threw down a dunk midway through the first quarter in Game 2 of the 2021 WNBA Finals.
• The 6-foot-9 Phoenix Mercury center got the feed from teammate Shey Peddy, then beat Chicago Sky forward Azurá Stevens into the paint before rising up for the one-handed slam.
• Phoenix Suns players – including Chris Paul, Jae Crowder, and more – who were sitting courtside at the game sprang out of their seats to celebrate the dunk as soon as she threw it down.
• Griner scored the Mercury’s first 10 points of the contest and led the team in both points and rebounds heading into halftime.
• Check out the spectacular play from multiple angles – and the NBA players’ reactions – below:
