Timofey Mozgov refuses to be put on another poster.
The Nuggets center has become synonymous with the term, thanks in large part to Blake Griffin and a few other NBA stars, like DeMar DeRozan and Al-Farouq Aminu.
Suffice to say, the Russian big man has been on the receiving end of a career's worth of facials, so when reigning MVP Kevin Durant rose up to meet Mozgov at the rim Wednesday night, most were probably thinking history was about to repeat itself.
Instead, this happened:
Not this time, Slim Reaper. Not this time.
New year, new Mozgov?
