Trending on Twitter has almost become a bad thing in 2022. You've either said something really bad that has made a ton of people mad, or you're a celebrity that has died.
It's really kind of a lose-lose.
Every now and then, though, there is a sports highlight that is so good that it takes the internet by storm. That was the case with Myles Turner's dunk on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Indiana Pacers center was the "pop" player in a pick-and-pop screen and found himself at the three-point line and with the ball with just 3.2 seconds left on the shot clock. Turner, who is shooting 36.4% from three this season, gave a convincing shot fake that took two Timberwolves with it and cleared the lane for his monster dunk.
The rest? Well, just watch and see:

Poor Jaden McDaniels decided to try to take a charging penalty on Turner but he wasn't even close to succeeding and instead will end up on a poster.
Turner finished the game with 31 points, seven rebounds, and four steals. He's averaging 17.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and three blocks per game this season.
