I don't want to sound hyperbolic, but this game from Salah Mejri is perhaps the most unexpected occurrence of a role-player (or sub-role-player) taking over the game and completely dominating it. Viewer discretion is definitely advised for this highlight video because Mejri did some things that are too sick for any but the most depraved highlights junkies:
-Blocking several shots so completely that the ball turned into dust and blew away in the wind
-Locating the injured Jonas Valanciunas at halftime and slapped him in the face so that his pride would be just as injured as his body
-Hitting the game-tying shot with a second left after his teammates missed about ten different shots (because they don't have the clutch gene like Mejri does)
-Starting the overtime period with a devastating crossover and dunk on Bruno Caboclo that immediately caused Brazil to declare war on Tunisia
-Continuing dominating in overtime with an alley-oop dunk ("The Tunisian Tremor") and a three-pointer ("The Tunisian Triple")
-Yelling "I own this place" as the final buzzer sounded and then running down the tunnel rubbing his bare sweaty Tunisian ass on all the fixtures to denote "ownership"
-Eating a big plate of Shakshouka on the team bus to the airport
It's quite possible that we never see Mejri take over a game again in this manner. This is prime Mejri and I'm honored to have witnessed it. Now I'm going to turn on CNN and see if Tunisian amphibious forces have stormed the beaches of Sao Paulo yet.
