Luke Kornet

You don’t earn the nickname “The Green Kornet” without first knowing how to make above-the-rim plays when your number is called. A consistent contributor to the Boston Celtics’ top-of-the-NBA second unit, Luke Kornet patrols the paint to perfection, sending the Houston Rockets’ alley-oop attempt in the other direction. Out to turn a great play into a sequence, the Boston big gallops the length of the floor, parting through a sea of red on a 3-on-2 fastbreak before being rewarded with a two-handed jam. Kornet contributed to another clockwork win on January 21, 2024, missing zero shots on the way to eight points, nine rebounds, one steal, and three blocks.
