Josh Giddey follows monster Summer League dunk with epic tech-earning staredown

By Andrew Kulha | Last updated 7/7/22

Josh Giddey is looking to follow up a stellar rookie season with the Oklahoma City Thunder in a big way, and he's getting a good start in the Las Vegas Summer League.

In a league in which wins, losses and eventual MVPs don't matter, it's still fun to see highlights from the young up-and-coming talent the NBA has to offer.

Giddey provided that and more as his Thunder took on the Summer League squad of the Philadelphia 76ers.

That's a nice dunk, there's no doubt about it.

Giddey also proved he is already in midseason competitive form with his staredown of Malik Ellison, who is just trying to make a name for himself. Unfortunately for Ellison, he is the talk of the NBA Thursday night, but only because he's on the wrong end of a poster with the Thunder's young and budding star.

Giddey, whom the Thunder drafted with pick No. 6 in the 2021 NBA Draft, averaged 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists in an impressive rookie season with OKC.
