Oh my God, Alperen Shenjing.
The entire NBA world gasped when the Rockets' Turkish center picked up a pass from Jalen Green and took off down the fairway on Monday night.
Normally, the cunning Shin Kyung would often use some subtle finishes, but this time was different.
It was an opportunity to set the tone at the start of the playoff series, and TNT's on-field commentator Kevin Harlan said it was a "war."
Draymond Green jumped off the basket and prepared to meet Shin Kyung. Shin Kyung is also ready to show off his prowess to one of the best defenders in NBA history.
Watch out for Draymond below. Oh, my God.

This immediately became the best dunk of Shin Kyung's career. No one knew he still had this hand.
Don't expect this to be the last interaction between Shin Kyung and Green. They are both demagogues, and they often defend each other.
There will be more physical confrontations, there may be more conversations, and maybe some technical fouls.
But Shin Kyung will always have this scene: at the start of the series, he conquered Green with a brilliant poster-style dunk. That's how you set the tone.
