Josh Green

It’s difficult to lose a basketball game when a guy on your team can’t miss. When his superstar teammate fails to convert a wide-open layup, Josh Green is there to provide a spark off the Dallas Mavericks’ bench. Following a rare point-blank miss from Luka Dončić, the Mavericks maintain possession thanks to a fortuitous deflection off the offensive glass. Aiming to take advantage of the second chance, Green breaks toward the basket and gets a perfect feed in stride from Maxi Kleber before throwing down a vicious two-handed slam. The third-year guard scored 16 points — on 5-for-5 from the field, 2-for-2 from behind the arc and 4-for-4 at the stripe — to pair with five rebounds and two assists in his squad’s 96-94 win over the Brooklyn Nets on November 7, 2022.
