Green Bay's Keifer Sykes wasn't quite able to posterize Wisconsin star Frank Kaminsky on this dunk attempt Wednesday night, but he did miss in spectacular fashion.

The 6'0" guard drove hard to the basket and went right at the 7'0" Kaminsky. However, when it came time to throw down the hammer, Sykes was rejected by the rim.

It would have been a serious candidate for Dunk of the Year if Sykes had completed the play. Instead, it will just go down as a spectacular miss.

Sykes' near-posterization of Kaminsky led to a pretty great Twitter exchange after the game:

What a cool display of respect between opponents.
