Byron Scott

No matter the era of hoops, few plays get fans out of their seats quite like a poster dunk. Pushing the tempo in transition in a 3-on-2 advantage, Byron Scott runs parallel to the ball handler as the play develops, waiting for the defense to collapse. When the moment arrives, Scott receives an opportune bounce pass and takes care of the rest, soaring into the air for a one-handed slam while putting a helpless Golden State Warriors defender on his backside. Scott had a huge Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, tallying 28 points, seven rebounds and two assists on May 10, 1987, and would ultimately earn his second of three championship rings later that postseason.
