2022 NBA Playoffs&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- (Round 2)

Full strength or not, few players can change the climate of a game or series the way Philadelphia 76ers big Joel Embiid can. After missing the first two games against the Miami Heat with an orbital fracture, Embiid returned, masked, and on a mission in Game 3. Operating out of the triple threat position, the 76ers star uses a pump fake and a tight dribble, finding space to drain a difficult and-one jumper to ignite the home crowd. This bucket proved to be one of the clinchers, giving Philadelphia a double-digit lead late in the fourth, on the way to a convincing 99-79 win on May 6, 2022. Embiid’s presence cut the series lead to 2-1, with 18 points, 11 rebounds and one block.

Joel Embiid

In a Game 7 against the reigning NBA champions, the best players are prepared to dig deep into their bag of tricks to find ways to score. Creeping between the Milwaukee Bucks defense on a cut, Jaylen Brown shows how it’s done, recognizing an advantage and cutting to the rim before skiing through the air to snag a pass for a contested alley-oop score in traffic. With the Bucks on the ropes and trailing by 10 mid-way through the third, this was among the plays that helped the Boston Celtics pull away, opening up a 16-point lead that ballooned even further in the fourth. Boston’s guard proved ready for the bright lights in a win-or-go-home game with an efficient 19-point, eight-rebound game, along with two steals and two triples to help ignite a 109-81 win on the way to the Eastern Conference Finals on May 15, 2022.

Jaylen Brown

In the series against the Philadelphia 76ers, Max Strus shared the floor with former league MVPs, MVP finalists, Sixth Men of the Year and multiple All-Stars. Even so, when the Miami Heat called on him for big plays, he was among the most impactful. With the series knotted at 2-2 and the Heat needing to restore power early, Strus turned in a masterful first quarter. Here, the Heat forward sneaks into the play late, providing an outlet for a teammate with a smooth three-pointer to open up a 12-point lead in the opening frame. Strus had 11 of his 19 points in a pivotal first quarter, along with 10 rebounds and four triples, leading to a convincing 120-85 win on May 10, 2022.

Max Strus

Sometimes, the difference between a star and a full-on superstar can be found through how a player responds in must-win games with the season on the line. Down 3-2 against the defending NBA champions on their own home court, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum showed which type he was in Game 6. Working against a taxing Bucks defense late in the game, Tatum finds an extra gear, rejecting a pick-and-roll on the way to the basket before exploding through with a strong, and-one layup in traffic, pushing the Celtics’ lead to 13 with two minutes to go. Forcing Game 7, Tatum pieced together a 46-point, nine-rebound, four-assist game with seven triples on May 13, 2022.

Jayson Tatum

In the best season of his career to date, it was only right that first-time All-Star  Andrew Wiggins added some one-of-a-kind postseason highlights to his catalog. Attacking a rotating Memphis Grizzlies defense on a hard close-out, Wiggins finds a runway to the basket before rising up for a rugged, two-handed poster jam all over a Memphis Grizzlies big. Wiggins kept the highlights coming with 16 points and nine rebounds on May 3, 2022.

Andrew Wiggins

With his team in danger of dropping two series-opening games on their home floor, Ja Morant decided it was time to score by any means, even if it meant putting a defender on that very floor. Trailing 99-98 with under two minutes to go, the Memphis Grizzlies guard calls an isolation before slicing a Golden State Warriors defender with a rhythmic-crossover-half-spin combination before dropping in a floater to give his team a lead they would never again surrender. Morant added to his big-game profile on May 3, 2022, with 47 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in a 106-101 win to tie the series at one game apiece.

Ja Morant

With a chance to push his squad’s third-quarter lead to double figures, you know Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker wasn't going to miss. Working in sync with his teammates’ defense, the All-Star guard takes the ball in transition, slowing to read the defense before rising up for a crowd-rocking three-pointer. This proved to be one of the highlights of the Suns’ 33-14 third-quarter run, guiding them to a 110-80 win over the Dallas Mavericks on May 10, 2022. Booker led the way with 28 points, seven rebounds and two steals.

Devin Booker

With his team trailing 2-1, and knowing the defending Western Conference champion Phoenix Suns were anxious to kill their momentum, Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith picked a perfect time to have one of the games of his life. Jogging behind a teammate, Finney-Smith takes advantage of the defense’s lack of aggression, steadying himself to drop in one of eight three-point daggers on the night, scaling the Mavericks’ 11-point lead to 14 and helping tie the series at 2-2. The 3-and-D wing was demonstrative on both ends of the floor with 24 points in a huge 111-101 win on May 8, 2022. 

Dorian Finney-Smith

When dealing with the Miami Heat, be prepared to pick your poison: follow their dead-eye shooters on a dribble hand-off or leave All-Star big Bam Adebayo open with a free lane to the basket. Working to help his team keep pace with the Philadelphia 76ers in the first quarter of Game 2, Adebayo calls his own number, speeding to the rim to beat a lax defense on the way to an explosive one-handed jam. This crowd-rocking dunk helped spark a 20-9 lead, a lead they would never again relinquish on the way to a 119-103 win and 2-0 series edge. Adebayo was the catalyst with 23 points, nine rebounds and three assists on May 4, 2022.

Bam Adebayo

Few tasks are as mentally strenuous as defending Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić in isolation. Seeking to provide his team with a 3-1 lead in Game 4, Phoenix Suns big Deandre Ayton takes on the task like a pro, mirroring him step-for-step and stretching out to send a layup attempt in the other direction. Ayton put up 14 points and 11 rebounds in the hard-fought May 8, 2022 battle.

Deandre Ayton

The only thing as important as having a generational offensive talent? Having teammates around him that can hit big shots when their number is called. With momentum on their side in Game 3 and a chance to avoid a dreaded 3-0 deficit, Dallas Mavericks guard Reggie Bullock proves he’s up for the challenge, finding an open spot along the right corner, before rising up to hit the game-clinching triple to put the Phoenix Suns away for good. Bullock had the home crowd rocking throughout the 103-94 win on May 6, 2022, with 15 points (nine in a critical fourth quarter), four rebounds, four three-pointers, and three steals. 

Reggie Bullock

In his rise toward superstardom, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has become most-known for his three-point shooting and the fear it strikes in opposing defenses. That said, you don’t become a multi-time NBA champion without knowing how to make critical plays on the defensive end, too. Taking on the challenge of guarding Memphis Grizzlies’ guard Ja Morant with the game down to a single shot, Curry mirrors him perfectly before meeting him at the launch point for a game-saving block. The two-time MVP chipped in with 24 points, five triples, three rebounds and four assists helping the Warriors throw the first haymaker of the series with a 117-116 win on May 1, 2022.

Steph Curry

Whether he’s on offense or defense, if you lose track of Jaren Jackson Jr., chances are you might end up on a highlight clip. Showcasing his remarkable athleticism and defensive IQ, the Memphis Grizzlies big rotates over in two quick steps, sending a Golden State Warriors layup attempt in the other direction. With their season on the line and the Grizzlies without their All-Star, Jackson Jr. stepped up with one big play after another in a 134-95 Game 5 win on May 11, 2022. 

Jaren Jackson Jr.

When James Harden starts setting the stage for his patented stepback, defenses across the league brace for the inevitable. With a chance to drop the dagger to end Game 4, the Philadelphia 76ers guard went to his unstoppable go-to, getting a pick-and-roll switch before draining a cold-blooded triple. This capped off a vintage fourth-quarter performance, in which Harden looked every bit the part of a former league MVP. Harden scored 16 of his 31 in the final frame, adding seven rebounds, nine assists and six triples on May 8, 2022.

James Harden

After spending much of Game 1 overcoming the Boston Celtics’ defense by setting up his teammates, it was only right that Giannis Antetokounmpo eventually served one up for himself. Battling tough defense, the Milwaukee Bucks forward uses a shot fake to free himself before tossing the ball off the glass for a self-assist slam dunk. This pushed the Bucks’ lead to 16 with six minutes to go, helping them secure a victory on the road. Antetokounmpo, fittingly, finished with a triple-double, 24 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and two blocks in the 101-89 win on May 1, 2022.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Up by one point with 10 seconds remaining, it was poetic that Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday needed to come up with a defensive stop against the recently appointed Defensive Player of the Year to save the game. Rotating over at the last second to defend a Marcus Smart layup attempt, the three-time All-Defensive Team talent shows his championship pedigree, sneaking into the play, getting both a block, and throwing the ball off his man to force an out of bounds play. That play —  and a game-winning steal just seconds later —  helped guide the Bucks to a 110-107 win to take a 3-2 edge over the Boston Celtics on May 11, 2022. Holiday had his fingerprints all over the box score with 24 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, four triples, two blocks and one steal.

Jrue Holiday

With a nickname like “The Thrill”, Denver Nuggets swingman Will Barton has earned his reputation as a must-watch player in transition. Here, Barton looks prepared for lift-off on a lob pass from teammate Bones Hyland, before he adjusts in mid-air for a soft tip-in layup in traffic against the Miami Heat. Barton, quietly one of the NBA’s more consistent, versatile scorers, did a little bit of everything, with 25 points, five rebounds, six assists and seven triples in a 113-96 win on November 8, 2021.

Will Barton

Taking advantage of transition opportunities requires the ability to improvise on the fly. LA Clippers center Ivica Zubac corrals a lead pass after running the floor and drops a beautiful behind-the-back dime to his teammate for an easy finish. Zubac chipped in 10 points and seven rebounds in an overtime matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on November 23, 2021.

Ivica Zubac

Harrison Barnes is no stranger to big-time shots. The veteran swingman calmly takes a pass from teammate, De'Aaron Fox, and sinks a clutch contested corner trey. Barnes drained a career-high eight three-pointers towards 36 points in the Kings road win on October 20, 2021.

Harrison Barnes

Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands — and sometimes you have to take them behind the back too. San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV pushes the ball up the court and hits the gas before the LA Clippers can set up on defense. Running straight at his defender at top speed, Walker fakes right then moves left with a smooth maneuver to lose his man and lay it in off glass on November 16, 2021.

Lonnie Walker IV

Aaron Holiday is a creative ball-handler in the vein of his older brother, Jrue. He drives right with a few hard dribbles, then breaks his man with a “snatch-back” crossover followed by a textbook midrange pull-up. Holiday finished with eight points and a couple of takeaways in Washington’s home tilt with the Philadelphia 76ers on December 26, 2021.

Aaron Holiday

The Charlotte Hornets roster is buzzing with youth and swingman Cody Martin is part of that core. Here, he retrieves a deflected ball, takes it the distance and soars for a one-handed dunk on the break. Martin finished with 10 points and eight boards in the October 22, 2021 win at Cleveland.

Cody Martin

Duncan Robinson adding to the repertoire! The Miami Heat’s bullseye outside shooter attacks the closeout and floats up a left-handed layup that falls in off the backboard. Robinson had it stuck on automatic in a 123-100 victory over the Phoenix Suns on January 8, 2022, knocking down eight triples en route to 27 points and four rebounds off the bench.

Duncan Robinson

With a rare combination of supreme athleticism and finishing power, Houston Rockets forward Kenyon Martin Jr. is a nightly candidate for a Top Shot Moment. Martin Jr. fills the lane perfectly on the break and gets impressive elevation on a dynamic lefty slam at the end of the third quarter. Martin’s momentum shifting plays contributed to an impressive 114-104 win over the Brooklyn Nets on December 8, 2021.

Kenyon Martin Jr.

Don’t let Jusuf Nurkić’s massive frame deceive you: he’s got the footwork to embarrass his opponent with a swift move off the dribble. Nurkić drives down the lane and makes a quick spin before dropping in a soft bucket at the rim. The gifted Portland Trail Blazers pivot dominated both the paint and glass in a 98-88 Trail Blazers victory over the Orlando Magic on January 17, 2022, leading all players with 21 points, 22 rebounds and four steals. 

Jusuf Nurkić

A frequent flyer who’s made a name as a ferocious finisher, Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins is no stranger to the friendly skies. He sets a screen up top and climbs the ladder for a devastating alley-oop over the defender. Collins contributed a well-rounded stat line of 11 points, six rebounds, five assists and five blocks in Atlanta’s 113-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on November 22, 2021.

John Collins

Early into his career, Detroit Pistons forward Saddiq Bey has shown few limits as an offensive talent. Here, he shows off his off-ball movement, sliding down the baseline for a clutch, catch-and-shoot three-point bucket over the Utah Jazz. Bey showcased his potential with 29 points (on just 14 shot attempts), six rebounds and five three-pointers in a 126-116 victory on January 10, 2022.

Saddiq Bey

When you’re labeled as a “shooter,” it’s important to round out other areas of your game. Svi Mykhailiuk unleashes the full arsenal in transition with a slick behind-the-back dribble followed by a lefty hammer over the Indiana Pacers' Justin Holiday. Mykhailiuk finished with 16 points and four boards off the bench in a 97-94 road victory on October 30, 2021.

Svi Mykhailiuk

Few teams can match up with the incredible ball & player movement on display by the Golden State Warriors each night. Nemanja Bjelica fits in perfectly: he receives a quick feed from Draymond Green then fakes a pass of his own before a double-clutch find to Andrew Wiggins for an open triple.

Nemanja Bjelica

If you’re going to soar among the trees, you better know how to adjust mid-flight. Veteran forward David Nwaba shows how it’s done, taking a hard baseline drive before maneuvering across the other side of the rim for a one-handed poster slam over the Denver Nuggets. Nwaba contributed five points, five rebounds and two steals in the January 1, 2021 contest.

David Nwaba

Indiana Pacers rookie Duane Washington Jr. is rapidly developing as an instant-offense bucket-getter who can generate clean looks on his own. Washington Jr. catches the ball on the perimeter, makes a quick move to his left, then crosses into a nasty spin-stepback combo before dropping back for a jumper. Washington Jr. was a major contributor against the New York Knicks on January 4, 2022, producing a nice line of 17 points, four assists and two rebounds. 

Duane Washington Jr.

More known for his world-class, dead-eye shooting from deep, Portland Trail Blazers All-Star guard Damian Lillard has to get creative to score past the 6-foot-8 Paul George. Channeling his inner post scorer, he pumps the brakes, spins, then lays out for an up-and-under. Lillard went for 27 points on November 9, 2021.

Damian Lillard

Cameron Johnson is a rare shooter who’s also known to rack up highlight-reel slams from time to time. The Phoenix Suns wing notices the defender closing out too hard on his jumper, drives hard to the left and takes flight for a towering, one-handed jam. Johnson had a nice performance while helping the Suns capture win No. 40 over the San Antonio Spurs on January 30, 2022.

Cameron Johnson

In a short time, Washington Wizards big Thomas Bryant has proven the ability to rack up points in the post. Working a pick-and-roll with a teammate, Bryant decides to showcase his athleticism, snagging a one-handed lob for a highlight jam against the Brooklyn Nets. Bryant contributed 13 points, six rebounds and three assists in a thrilling 113-112 win on February 10, 2022.

Thomas Bryant

Though rightfully scouted as a reliable stretch four, Georges Niang has the finesse to make plays with a live ball. The Philadelphia 76ers forward immediately drives after catching the ball and methodically pivots into a light floater, plus the foul. Niang provided strong production off the bench with 12 points, three assists and two rebounds in his club’s 115-103 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on October 24, 2021.

Georges Niang

Frank Ntilikina is a lockdown perimeter defender who commits hard to make momentum-shifting swats and steals. In a November 21, 2021 matchup against the LA Clippers, the Dallas Mavericks guard stalks his opponent on the break and completely eliminates a layup attempt off the backboard.

Frank Ntilikina

There aren’t many backcourt rebounders like New Orleans Pelicans wing Josh Hart. He crashes the glass as soon as his teammate releases a shot from downtown and perfectly times a two-handed tip slam between multiple defenders. Hart filled all areas of the stat sheet with 13 points, five rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks in New Orleans’s 110-96 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on November 22, 2021.

Josh Hart

Atlanta Hawks swingman Bogdan Bogdanović is known for his gifts as a catch-and-shoot scorer but when his number’s called, he’s more than capable of setting the table for himself. Here, he gets downhill, attacking the rim before using a crafty half-spin to free himself for a fadeaway against the Washington Wizards. Bogdanović did a bit of everything, with 16 points, six rebounds, six assists and four triples in the 118-111 win on November 1, 2021.

Bogdan Bogdanović

When you’re facing a size disadvantage, sometimes a soft touch high off the glass can be your best friend. Working off an inbound pass, Norman Powell shows the way to do it, speeding to the rim and tossing in a high-arching finger roll over the outstretched arms of a bigger Dallas Mavericks defender. The LA Clippers guard chipped in 19 points, six rebounds and six assists in a 112-105 matchup on February 10, 2022.

Norman Powell

No mirror tricks here! Noted right-hander Andrew Wiggins exclusively uses his off-hand for a three-dribble combination and southpaw poster over forward Darius Bazley.

Why swat a shot out of bounds when you can snatch the ball from the opposition completely? Atlanta Hawks big Onyeka Okongwu takes advantage of his chance to perform a highlight play, meeting a Toronto Raptors player at the rim and gobbling the ball away for an authoritative rejection. Okongwu stepped up with nine points, nine rebounds and a block in the January 31, 2022 matchup.

Onyeka Okongwu

Can't stop him, can only hope to contain him! Minnesota has all hands on deck trying to deter reigning NBA Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who instead takes only a few motions to gather, hang & hammer home his own miss.

Which way did he go?? It's becoming more and more difficult to keep up with Orlando's Cole Anthony. He waltzes by Miami's usually stingy defense and catches a Gary Harris lob for a windmill, alley-oop finish with his off hand.

Cole Anthony

The road team wants nothing more than to silence the home crowd in a tense moment. Robert Williams III did just that after diving hard to the basket, hammering home a lob from Jayson Tatum. Williams III tallied a double-double of 12 points & 16 rebounds (to go along with 3 blocks) in Boston's 140-129 double overtime shootout in Charlotte on October 25, 2021.

Robert Williams III

It’s become increasingly difficult to handle Jalen Brunson off the dribble. The Dallas Mavericks fourth-year guard combines a couple of crossovers into a spinning, falling finish plus the foul. Brunson scorched the nets to the tune of 25 points on 10/13 shooting against the Miami Heat on November 2, 2021.

Jalen Brunson

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon has carved out a reputation as a feared three-point marksman but, when he’s going downhill, he’s proven he can be just as effective. Gordon uses a drag screen to get a mismatch then leaves a New Orleans Pelicans defender in the dust with a quick in-and-out dribble en route to a crafty right-handed finish. Gordon was in vintage form in a 118-108 victory on December 5, 2021 with an efficient 23-point, five-assist performance.

Eric Gordon

Xavier Tillman realizes the significance of finishing strong despite any challenges at the rim. The Memphis Grizzlies big man presents himself as a target in the middle of the lane, receives a pass and hammers home a one-handed jam right on top of the defender. Tillman contributed six points, two steals and two rebounds in a 116-108 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on January 13, 2022.

Xavier Tillman

Don’t sleep on Marcus Morris Sr.’s abilities in isolation — he’s not easy to stop with a solo defender. The talented LA Clippers hybrid forward takes it down court, sets his man up with a few dribbles and breaks him off with a spin move followed by a flawless midrange fadeaway. Morris Sr. led all scorers and racked up a double-double (24 points and 11 rebounds) in a win over the Phoenix Suns on December 13, 2021.

Marcus Morris Sr.

It didn’t take long for Markelle Fultz to get back to making an impression after nearly 14 months on the sidelines. In his first taste of official action since a knee injury ended his 2020-21 campaign, the Orlando Magic guard explodes into the paint against the Indiana Pacers then leaps through the air for an acrobatic up-and-under layup. Fultz racked up 10 points and six dimes on five-of-seven shooting in a cautiously limited 16-minute stint on February 28, 2022.

Markelle Fultz

Give Portland Trail Blazers guard Ben McLemore the tiniest bit of airspace and you’ll find yourself catching it out of the net in a hurry. Clinging to a narrow lead against the star-studded Brooklyn Nets, McLemore calls his own number, swinging a pass to a teammate to set up a dribble handoff before sinking the game-clinching shot. McLemore tallied 20 points, five rebounds and five three-pointers on January 10, 2022 on the way to a 114-108 win.

Ben McLemore

It’s rarely a good idea to challenge Clint Capela on the interior. The Atlanta Hawks’ reliable rim protector explodes up and emphatically denies a strong dunk attempt with his off-hand against lefty forward Kelly Oubre Jr. Capela dominated inside with 20 points, 15 rebounds and two blocks in a 115-105 Hawks victory over the Charlotte Hornets on November 20, 2021.

Clint Capela

Unlimited range in today’s NBA is a beautiful thing. New Orleans Pelicans rookie Trey Murphy III shows off his marksmanship with no hesitation as he drains a long three. Murphy converted on two triples in his NBA debut on October 20, 2021.

Trey Murphy III

Can’t stop, won’t stop. In the midst of a career run with the Philadelphia 76ers, three-point ace Seth Curry hits Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby with a series of crossovers and pump fakes to get off a shot from behind the arc. Unable to completely lose his man, Curry opts to toss the ball to teammate Andre Drummond for a give-and-go that he punctuates with a silky reverse layup at the cup on November 11, 2021.

Seth Curry

If you’re going to leave the lane wide open for a big like Nikola Vučević, brace for a throw down. The Chicago Bulls center takes full advantage of some sleepy defense from the Indiana Pacers and hammers home the jam. Vučević stuffed the stat sheet in a dominant display, with 36 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in a 122-115 win on February 4, 2022.

Nikola Vučević

The NBA is filled with feared rim protectors, but that won’t stop Damian Jones from attacking the rim. After an offensive rebound falls into his lap, the Sacramento Kings big man puts his 6-foot-11 frame and 37-inch vertical to the test against Portland Trail Blazers big Jusuf Nurkić. The end result? An authoritative one-handed jam that helps seal a Kings’ 125-121 victory on November 24, 2021. Jones stuffed the stat sheet with nine points, five rebounds, two assists and immeasurable energy in the process.

Damian Jones

A former two-way player, Houston Rockets wing Garrison Mathews is making a name for himself as a consistent three-point shooter and perimeter defender. Mathews gets a clean interception and takes it all the way for a smooth, one-handed flush. Mathews was a pivotal X-factor in Houston’s 118-116 home victory against the Orlando Magic on December 3, 2021.

Garrison Mathews

With athletic forwards across their rotation, the Charlotte Hornets have players capable of creating a highlight jam at any time. Here, Jalen McDaniels gets his shot, using his speed to beat a closeout before rising up for a vicious tomahawk jam against the Denver Nuggets. McDaniels made good on the added playing time, with 12 points, six rebounds and a block in a 115-107 triumph on December 23, 2021.

Jalen McDaniels

Dallas Mavericks big Maxi Kleber isn’t known for his above-the-rim game but with a free path down the lane defenses are at his mercy. Here, he takes off as a roll man in a pick-and-roll and snags a lob for an athletic one-handed slam. Kleber had nine points, five rebounds and four assists against the Phoenix Suns on January 20, 2022.

Maxi Kleber

Deep range isn’t a concern for Luke Kennard - as soon as he crosses halfcourt, he’s a threat to score. Kennard runs a quick handoff with his teammate up top, gets the ball back and knocks down a straightaway three from way behind the line. The LA Clippers guard was on fire against the Houston Rockets on February 17, 2022, hitting eight triples en route to a 25-point night in just 22 minutes off the bench.

Luke Kennard

Tyler Herro’s all-around game continues to evolve - the talented two guard has upped the ante in every aspect during his third year in the NBA. Herro notices a wide-open player on the break and perfectly times a beautiful block off the glass to prevent an easy score. Herro starred for the Miami Heat in their 115-91 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on January 12, 2022, finishing with 21 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds off the bench. 

Tyler Herro

You always need a player like Dwight Powell in your lineup - his non-stop activity is a positive influence on winning basketball. The Dallas Mavericks center reads a play on defense, picks off a pass, then pushes the ball down the floor for a tough, two-handed jam. Powell contributed eight points and three rebounds in 21 minutes against the Orlando Magic on January 30, 2022.

In the NBA, there’s no better sight than an open runway to the rim. Chicago Bulls guard Coby White takes a free path coast-to-coast for a thunderous one-handed jam. White led the Bulls’ second-unit in scoring and was instrumental in a 115-110 victory on December 19, 2021.

When you’re a rookie representing your hometown, the pressure can get to you. Just don’t tell that to 2021 Toronto Raptors draftee Dalano Banton. In his regular season debut, the Toronto native pulls up from halfcourt for three points... and his first ever NBA bucket.

Chris Paul aka Point God! Good luck trying to stop CP3 from making a tough play off the dribble. Paul starts his action with a nice crossover up top, brings the ball back after being met by a second defender on the screen, then lasers an impeccable left-handed pass to Bismack Biyombo for the slam. The Phoenix Suns superstar was up to his usual tricks with 18 points, 16 assists, four rebounds and four steals in a 113-103 win over the Indiana Pacers on January 22, 2022.

When he finds an open lane to the basket, few players are as creative as Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland. Here, he rejects a screen before turning on the speed boost on the way to the rim, lofting up a thunderous alley-oop for teammate Jarrett Allen. Garland was in pure point guard mode in the 114-96 win over the Dallas Mavericks, with 18 points and nine assists on November 29, 2021.

At 6-foot-11, 265 pounds, there are few jump ball situations Memphis Grizzlies big Steven Adams can’t win. Matched up against a point guard, Adams puts his size and IQ on display, rising up to tip the basketball the length of the court, setting up a teammate for a fastbreak slam. Adams made plenty of heads-up plays on December 19, 2021, adding 13 points, nine rebounds, five assists and three steals for good measure.

Denver Nuggets high-flyer Aaron Gordon has become one of the NBA’s steadier wings, proving to be too quick for forwards and too strong for guards. Against the Portland Trail Blazers, Gordon puts both his speed and strength on display, using an explosive first step off of an entry pass to rise up for a gravity-defying slam. Gordon chipped in 11 points, three rebounds and three assists on November 23, 2021.

Count Dennis Smith Jr. among the league’s most dynamic athletes at the point guard spot. The Portland Trail Blazers guard takes a strong bounce down the baseline and puts nice hangtime on a delayed, up-and-under finish through contact: hoop plus the harm. DSJ did a bit of everything to help the Trail Blazers secure a 115-110 win over the Washington Wizards on January 15, 2022, contributing nine points, four rebounds, three steals and two dimes.

Over his illustrious career, Lou Williams has proven capable of getting a bucket in any situation. Here, the Atlanta Hawks veteran gets to a milestone with his 5,000th make, getting downhill and splitting a pick-and-roll before rising up for a one-handed flush. The three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner turned back the clock, with an efficient 15-point, five-assist, helping guide a 121-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings on January 26, 2022.

It's practically a layup whenever LaMarcus Aldridge gets off a clean look from the midrange. In year 16, Aldridge knocks down his patented jumper from inside the arc to become just the 48th player in NBA history to reach 20,000 career points.

LaMarcus Aldridge

Los Angeles Lakers big Dwight Howard pieced together one of the NBA’s most decorated careers as a dominant force on both ends around the rim. On this occasion, he shows off a soft three-point touch, punishing a relaxed Detroit Pistons defense with a catch-and-shoot triple. The eight-time All-Star tallied 13 points in 13 minutes, including five rebounds and a pair of three-pointers in the 121-116 win on November 21, 2021.

Just weeks into his NBA career, Josh Giddey has NBA fans and superstars alike buzzing about his movement of the ball. In his first regular season game with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the rook demonstrates masterful handles, simultaneously losing his defender and drawing two more before floating the rock to a teammate for a layup. In addition to his smooth maneuvers on the court, Giddey locked in 10 rebounds in his debut on October 20, 2021.

Slam dunks don’t come much more emphatic than this! Miami Heat utility Max Strus shows he’s more than just a sharp-shooter with a jam that even his Chicago Bulls opponent Zach LaVine would have been proud of. Strus breezes past his defender with a swift side-step before steaming towards the rim and dropping an absolute hammer. Strus had nine points, three rebounds and two assists in the 118-92 win over the Bulls on December 11, 2021.

T.J. McConnell is one of the craftiest ball-handlers in the NBA. The Indiana Pacers guard breaks out a nice dribble combo to get by the Sacramento Kings’ Terence Davis II to finish a scoop shot through contact: hoop plus the harm. McConnell had a huge night with 18 points, seven rebounds and four dimes in a 94-91 Pacer victory on November 7, 2021.

Passing out of the post is a skill Orlando Magic center Robin Lopez has excelled at over the course of his long NBA career. Lopez catches an entry feed from Admiral Schofield, holds the ball out with one hand and quickly fires a return hook pass to Schofield for the finish plus the foul — a perfectly executed give and go. Lopez stepped up big time in his starting role against the Atlanta Hawks on December 22, 2021, tallying an unconventional double-double for a center with 10 points, 11 dimes and five rebounds en route to a 104-98 victory for Orlando.

Robin Lopez

If you get caught in a screen-and-roll against the Phoenix Suns, be prepared to give up some points, one way or another. Deandre Ayton shows one of those ways, rolling to the basket and slamming in a rim-shaking putback jam off a teammate’s miss. Ayton made his presence felt with 21 points, 21 rebounds and a block in the October 27, 2021.

When a shooter isn’t able to generate enough space, it’s time to improvise. Normally a go-to scorer from downtown, Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Grayson Allen turns down a three-point attempt over RJ Barrett and breaks out a nice pass fake to get the upper hand on a tough New York Knicks defense. Allen finished with 22 points and still managed to connect on six triples in the November 5, 2021 matchup.

Grayson Allen

Two-time All-Star Nikola Vučević has made his name as one of this generation’s most quietly consistent scorers. But, step into his paint, and the Chicago Bulls big will show you a different side of his game on the defensive end. Vučević teaches the Houston Rockets this lesson the hard way, sending a dunk attempt the other way for a highlight block. Vučević stuffed the stat sheet with 18 points, six rebounds and two blocks in a 133-118 win on December 20, 2021.

When a sharpshooter matches rhythm with confidence, no shot feels too difficult — not even off-balance threes with the game on the line. Evan Fournier makes an example out of the Boston Celtics in this play, taking an inbound pass and draining a crucial triple from the corner to take the lead. Fournier had a marquee night on January 6, 2022, scorching Boston to the tune of 41 points, eight rebounds and 10 triples, guiding the New York Knicks to a 108-105 win.

Evan Fournier

Terance Mann is no stranger to big-time hammers. The breakout LA Clippers player of the 2021 NBA Playoffs takes advantage of a scrambling defense and proceeds with zero hesitation. Mann sees an open lane to the hoop and is cleared for takeoff inside the free-throw line. Mann registered a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double in the November 7, 2021 win over the Hornets.

Sometimes, when you’re trying to score amongst the giants, you’ve got to know how to go under. Nickeil Alexander-Walker shows how it’s done, using a smooth in-and-out crossover before gathering into a whirling, underhand scoop shot over a Memphis Grizzlies big. The New Orleans Pelicans guard led his team with 21 points, scoring efficiently from all three levels in a 112-101 win on November 13, 2021.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker

With his 6-foot-8 frame and 40-inch vertical, virtually no alley-oop lob is out of reach for Memphis Grizzlies big Brandon Clarke. Here Clarke runs a creative pick-and-roll with fellow big man Jaren Jackson Jr., slipping out just in time to stretch out for a rim-rocking one-handed alley-oop slam. Clarke was predictably efficient putting in 18 points on just nine shots, while adding 15 rebounds, three assists and three blocks in a 123-108 triumph over the LA Clippers on January 8, 2022.

Brandon Clarke

Monte Morris is extremely underrated as a scorer and distributor off the bounce. With time winding down late in the game, Morris navigates around a screen before splashing an uncontested triple from the top of the key. The Denver Nuggets guard shot lights out against the Sacramento Kings on February 26, 2022, finishing with 21 points and five triples on almost 62% shooting from the field. 

Monte Morris

When you’re playing an NBA game in front of your hometown, you’d better be ready to put on a show. Jose Alvarado proves up to the challenge, putting the New York Knicks’ defense through a game of hide-and-seek. He uses a sharp behind-the-back before weaving through traffic and finishing with a fancy around-the-rim finish. Alvarado made good on his homecoming with an efficient 13-point, four-assist, four-steal performance in a 102-91 win for the New Orleans Pelicans on January 20, 2022.

Jose Alvarado

Taking the final shot in a down-to-the-wire NBA game is a privilege not to be taken lightly. Enter, Detroit Pistons veteran Kelly Olynyk. Trailing by a single point with just two seconds remaining, the sharpshooting big man drifts to the short corner before fading back and knocking down a game-winner as time expires. Olynyk racked up 20 points and eight rebounds in the memorable victory over the Charlotte Hornets on February 27, 2022.

Kelly Olynyk

Trailer, trailer, trailer. With the defense on its heels, San Antonio Spurs rookie Joshua Primo provides an outlet for his teammate and readies himself for a three-point shot. Like clockwork, Primo collects the pass, steps into his shot, then releases over the defense for his first points in his NBA debut on October 20, 2021.

Joshua Primo

Force the big man out onto the perimeter and make him make a play: simple formula for defensive success, right? Boston Celtics veteran Al Horford has other plans. The five-time All-Star blasts down the lane with three power dribbles and finishes through contact while also earning a trip to the charity stripe. His steady play (10 points and seven rebounds) helped spark a 95-78 blowout against the Miami Heat on November 4, 2021.

Al Horford

Tyus Jones is an underappreciated playmaker with excellent instincts as a distributor on the run. The Memphis Grizzlies point guard notices Brandon Clarke hustling hard in transition and fires a beautiful bounce pass between two defenders for the slam. Jones scored 11 points and dished out eight dimes in his team’s 119-106 win over the Chicago Bulls on January 17, 2022.

Tyus Jones

When Rajon Rondo decides to hang them up, he’ll long be remembered for his ability to make plays with flash and flair. In a mismatch against a Milwaukee Bucks big, Rondo calls his own number, using a silky-smooth, over-the-shoulder circus shot to find a bucket. Rondo chipped in five points and five assists in a 115-99 victory for the Cleveland Cavaliers on January 26, 2022.

Rajon Rondo

It should come as no surprise by now that Milwaukee Bucks big Bobby Portis is capable of scoring from anywhere. Portis shows what makes him a different type of big, sliding down the baseline for a drifting, one-legged fadeaway with two Portland Trail Blazers defenders in his airspace. Portis was red-hot with 30 points on 11-of-13 shooting, four rebounds and five assists in a 137-108 win on February 5, 2022. 

Bobby Portis

If you get the ball stripped from you on one end, you’d better be ready to bring the effort right back on the other. After getting his pocket picked against the Detroit Pistons, Chuma Okeke shows how it’s done, hustling back in transition and adjusting in mid-air to block a shot from across his body. The Orlando Magic forward showed off his potential, with 17 points, six rebounds, three triples and three blocks in a 119-103 win on January 28, 2022.

Chuma Okeke

Why go for the simple right-handed layup when you have the athleticism to go across the rim for a reverse finish in traffic? Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris puts that acrobatic grace on display in a tough finish over the Miami Heat. Harris led all scorers with an efficient 20-point performance on December 26, 2021.

Gary Harris

Miles Bridges is a walking highlight above or below the rim. The Charlotte Hornets forward fakes a corner triple, drives down the baseline and converts an amazing, right-to-left-hand reverse layup with multiple defenders challenging at the basket. Bridges was firing on all cylinders in the January 17, 2022 win over the New York Knicks, finishing with a career-high 38 points, 12 rebounds and five assists.

Miles Bridges

Over his first two seasons, Lamar Stevens has flashed potential as a sparingly-used, ultra-athletic two-level scorer, particularly in the open floor. The Cleveland Cavaliers forward makes his presence known on a 3-on-2 fastbreak, using his 41-inch vertical to flush one home on November 10, 2021.

Lamar Stevens

Denver Nuggets guard Facundo Campazzo has all the tricks in his bag. As he lulls the defense to sleep with a hesitation and between-the-legs dribble, Facu then changes speeds and drives hard to the rim for a tough, off-balance layup.
