How well do you know your texting slang?
If a player dunks a ball (jumps in the air and slams a ball into a hoop) on you (more specifically, right on your face), they just gave you a facial. The term comes from an actual facial, which includes the application of a cream to moisturize the skin (but in this case a slam dunk applied to the face).
Fans, announcers, and players may all use the term to remark on an awesome dunk on a player, similar to posterize. For example, an announcer may remark, "And James gives a facial to Green to take the lead!" Or, a fan may ask others on X, "did u c edward's facial of Murray? omg it was epic!"
