No matter the age, situation, or defensive coverage, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James makes the game of basketball look effortless. James showcases his world-class athleticism by sneaking backdoor on a cut, turning teammate Malik Monk’s lob into a reverse alley-oop slam to send the crowd into a frenzy. James racked up a 30-point, 12-rebound, five-assist performance on January 19, 2022.

LeBron James

There are three-point shooters who change games, and three-point shooters who change the game. Steph Curry is definitively the latter. In a home opener to kick off another potential MVP season, the Golden State Warriors guard pushes the ball up the court and heaves it to a teammate in the corner. Curry then chases his own pass and calls for the ball back to sink a high-flying, catch-and-shoot triple. The seven-time All-Star hit his first 10 field goals of the night on October 21, 2021, while pouring in 25 of his 45 points in the first quarter alone.

Steph Curry

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.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Luka Dončić coming off of a pick-and-roll is the last thing you want to see when playing the Dallas Mavericks. In a play typically saved for All-Star weekend, Dončić freezes the defense with a behind-the-back combo straight into a cross-court pass, finding Kristaps Porzingis for a crucial three-pointer on the left wing. Dončić led the way with 26 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds during the Mavericks’ 116-106 triumph over the Houston Rockets on October 26, 2021.

Luka Dončić

Welcome to the (Jordan) Poole party. Better known for his ability to get buckets from the perimeter, this time Poole sees a hole in the defense and takes it strong to the hoop, finishing at the rim with a tough up-and-under, off-hand layup.

Jordan Poole

Klay Thompson may be one of the most feared shooters in NBA history, but he’s got other facets to his game he can contribute with as well. He showcases one here, leaking out on a fastbreak and facing a drive before dropping off a behind-the-back dish to a teammate for a score. Thompson played an all-around offensive game with 15 points, six assists and three triples in a 130-92 win over the Dallas Mavericks on January 25, 2022.

Klay Thompson

Forget everything you know about conventional basketball when Nikola Jokić hits the floor. The mesmerizing Denver Nuggets center defies positional norms yet again on January 7, 2022, seamlessly carrying the rock the length of the floor against the Sacramento Kings, then hitting JaMychal Green in stride with a casual no-look, one-handed entry feed. Jokić finished with 33 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in the win. 

Nikola Jokić

Pressure defense doesn't faze Jayson Tatum. The Boston Celtics star puts on a dribbling clinic in a series of maneuvers before losing his defender with a quick spin move and explosive finish at the hoop. Ball on a string. Tatum finished with 20 points in the November 1, 2021 contest against the Chicago Bulls.

Jayson Tatum

No matter the matchup, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has proven he’s confident he can score in any situation. Despite giving up size in an isolation against a Denver Nuggets big, Edwards takes him for a dance, working a mix of between-the-legs, in-and-out crossovers and hesitations before getting enough space to drain a stepback three-pointer. That was the story of the night, as Edwards exploded for 38 points, 10 three-pointers and five rebounds in a 124-107 win on December 15, 2021.

Anthony Edwards

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Dallas Mavericks guard Reggie Bullock provides a lesson in persistence here, missing on his first three-point attempt before draining it on his second chance to send the crowd into a frenzy with a clutch bucket. Bullock had a highlight game with 20 points, four rebounds and four triples to help his squad outlast the Philadelphia 76ers in a 107-98 win on February 4, 2022.

Reggie Bullock

Staying active and engaged as an offensive rebounder is essential. Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney flies in to corral a deflected rebound and has the presence of mind to finish a difficult layup, to help the Warriors take the lead, with under 14 seconds left to play. Looney had a strong outing in Golden State’s 102-100 victory over the Indiana Pacers on December 13, 2021 with 14 points, eight rebounds, three assists and a game-winning putback.

Kevon Looney

It’s hard to disrupt the smooth, even-keeled approach Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane brings to the table. Bane rips through his defender on the perimeter and reverses back with a spin dribble into a driving slam with one hand. Memphis’s talented second-year guard scored 29 points and pulled down nine boards in the team’s 97-90 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on December 4, 2021.

Desmond Bane

From New Orleans to Los Angeles, Rajon Rondo and Anthony Davis have years of experience as a lob pairing. Without a word or signal, Davis quickly spins around Juan Toscano-Anderson and skies for a Rondo pass that's already in flight. Poetry in motion.

Anthony Davis

Jonas Valanciunas does it all for the Pelicans. New Orleans's starting center secures the rebound on a Karl-Anthony Towns missed three and launches a beautiful 'touchdown' pass to a streaking Nickeil Alexander-Walker for an easy lay-in on October 25, 2021.

Jonas Valančiūnas

You don't need lightning quickness when you're hypnotic with the rock. Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden lulls his defender into a trance at the top of the key before utilizing his momentum against him with a crossover. Harden put on an offensive clinic in the December 27, 2021 win over the LA Clippers, erupting for 39 points, eight rebounds and a staggering 15 assists.

James Harden

Devin Booker has made his name as one of the NBA’s most proficient three-level scorers. In the 2021-22 season, he’s also playing passing lanes and stealing the ball at a career rate. In a cat-and-mouse game, the Phoenix Suns All-Star guard makes himself skinny to fight through a dribble handoff before using his intuition to turn back and get a steal for a reverse fastbreak jam. Booker ended with 18 points in a Phoenix Suns 112-100 win on November 2, 2021.

Devin Booker

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

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard has a tight handle and creativity to break the defense down for open scoring opportunities. In a productive night against the Detroit Pistons, Pritchard charges hard to his right, then drops his man off with a nasty behind-the-back dribble and stepback jumper. The second-year playmaker finished with 19 points and six assists off the bench on February 26, 2022.

Payton Pritchard

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.

Andrew Wiggins

Dorian Finney-Smith has carved out a role as a blossoming 3-and-D contributor for the Dallas Mavericks, but if you give him a free runway to the rim, don’t be surprised to end up on an autographed poster. Finney-Smith, not afraid to attack a hard closeout and get to the rim, did a little bit of everything on January 14, 2022, dropping 13 points in a substantial win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Dorian Finney-Smith

Andre Iguodala is an offensive maestro with the ball in his hands. The versatile Golden State Warriors swingman receives a pass from teammate Nemanja Bjelica, freezes the defense with a ball fake, then executes an on-point, behind-the-back pass to Bjelica for the lay-in. A perfectly executed give-and-go. Iguodala recorded 10 dimes off the pine in a win over the New Orleans Pelicans on November 5, 2021.

Andre Iguodala

If there's a lane to the basket, DeMar DeRozan is going to find it. The Chicago Bulls swingman puts his slashing ability on display in the waning seconds of a quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers, first blowing past his man out at the perimeter, picking up steam on his way through the paint, then finishing around the outstretched arms of a help-side defender. DeRozan put up 38 points in the road victory on November 15, 2021.

DeMar DeRozan

See an open lane and take it. With defensive attention zeroed in on Golden State Warriors teammate Steph Curry, versatile big man Draymond Green finds a clear path to the cup. It doesn’t take more than a split second for Green to decide what he wants to do: one hard dribble, two big steps and one monster hammer up and over the defense. Green registered a well-rounded line of eight points, eight boards and five dimes in the November 5, 2021 win over the visiting New Orleans Pelicans.

Draymond Green

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

Tyler Herro does not shy away from the big Moments. The Miami Heat guard has zero hestiation in getting to his spot, taking his defender off the dribble, then hitting him with a stepback triple. Nothing but bottom. Herro chipped in with a team-high 30 points off the bench.

Tyler Herro

Hustle your way back to break up a transition play and, more often than not, great things will happen. Showing off his relentless motor, Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams speeds back on defense, pins a Denver Nuggets shot against the glass and saves an easy score. Williams chipped in eight points, two triples and a pair of blocks, his hustle plays proving critical in a 108-102 win on February 11, 2022.

Grant Williams

Miami is known for momentum-shifting plays. Bam Adebayo ignites the break with a feed to Tyler Herro, who lofts the perfect set up for Jimmy Butler's signature, two-handed slam. Jimmy finished with 36 points and 5 steals in the 107-90 victory against Orlando.

Jimmy Butler

It hasn’t taken long for Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey’s offensive brilliance to earn the utmost respect from NBA defenses. Here, Maxey uses it to his advantage, drawing in a Detroit Pistons defender on a 3-on-1 fastbreak before whipping a behind-the-back pass to set up teammate Tobias Harris for a jam. Maxey had 16 points on just eight shots, and chipped in six rebounds and six assists in a 110-102 win on October 28, 2021.

Tyrese Maxey

If there’s any opportunity for a lob, Los Angeles Lakers veteran center DeAndre Jordan will find a way to convert. This time, he initiates things with a head-nod and quick feed to Russell Westbrook, follows up with an even quicker dive to the rim and receives a beautiful return feed for his patented right-handed oop. DJ’s slam was part of a big night against the Charlotte Hornets on November 8, 2021.

DeAndre Jordan

Now just where did that man go? Toronto Raptors star Fred VanVleet gives Brooklyn Nets stars Patty Mills and James Harden windburn as he slips past their clutches like a ghost in the night. To top it all off, he drives to the basket, finishing a beautiful layup around the enormous outstretched arms of Kevin Durant. It’s yet another prime example of why VanVleet became an All-Star for the first time this season. The Raptors guard had 21 points and eight assists on November 7, 2021.

Fred VanVleet

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

Since joining the Toronto Raptors, Gary Trent Jr. has taken his game to an entirely new level. With the clock winding down, he shows off one of his tricks, taking a handoff pass before dribbling into a cold-blooded, one-legged deep three-pointer at the buzzer. Trent Jr. had threes in abundance against the Atlanta Hawks on January 31, 2022, finishing with 31 points, six rebounds and nine triples in a 106-100 victory.

Gary Trent Jr.

Anfernee Simons is a hooper. The third-year Portland Trail Blazers guard knows how to set up his defender with the rock in his hands. Simons hits a crossover going right, splits the defense and finishes a tough, contested runner that finds nothing but bottom. Simons poured in 17 points off the pine in the November 1, 2021 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Anfernee Simons

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

As Lauri Markkanen shows here, you don’t accidentally earn the nickname, The Finnisher. Calling his own number on a dribble handoff, the Cleveland Cavaliers big man decides to take flight, rising up in traffic over the San Antonio Spurs defense for a thunderous jam. Markkanen put in eight points and six rebounds, crucial in a 114-109 win on January 14, 2022.

Lauri Markkanen

The Golden State Warriors are well-known for their ability to light it up from deep, but they’ve also got players capable of flying high as well. Talented forward Juan Toscano-Anderson makes his name heard here, faking a dribble hand-off before taking off for a thunderous one-handed flush over the Philadelphia 76ers. Toscano-Anderson was a perfect six-of-six from the field, and finished with 13 points, six rebounds and six assists in a 116-96 blowout win on November 24, 2021.

Juan Toscano-Anderson

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

Isolate Chris Paul in the mid-range and it's an automatic bucket. Even against an all-world defender in Anthony Davis, the veteran floor general puts on a dribbling clinic before casually rising up for a contested jumper that splashes the bottom of the net. Silky smooth.

Chris Paul

Coming out of college, Boston Celtics guard Aaron Nesmith was much more celebrated for his ability as a pure shooter. On this play, he shows that there’s more than meets the eye with his deceptive athleticism, beating the entire Philadelphia 76ers’ defense down the floor on the way to an emphatic flush in transition on December 20, 2021.

Aaron Nesmith

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.

Dwight Powell

Dropping pinpoint dimes is second nature to one of the game’s most elite distributors. Atlanta Hawks All-Star guard Trae Young draws in his defender before sending a no-look, behind-the-back dish to Bogdan Bogdanovic for the corner trey. Trae finished with 32 points and nine dimes in Atlanta’s 122-104 blowout victory on October 25, 2021.

Trae Young

Standing at 6-foot-6, Washington Wizards point guard Spencer Dinwiddie utilizes his height to create easy scoring chances for his teammates.

Dinwiddie’s floor game was on point against the Miami Heat on December 28, 2021 with 11 dimes to lead the way for his squad.

Spencer Dinwiddie

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.

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.

Dwight Howard

There’s just something about playing your old team that gives you a little bit more fuel and focus. Phoenix Suns big Bismack Biyombo got a chance to prove that, taking a pass on a pick-and-roll before rising up for a vicious two-handed poster jam on the Charlotte Hornets. Biyombo, in his first game with the Suns, chipped in 11 points, six rebounds and a block in the 133-99 victory on January 2, 2022.

Ben McLemore

To contend for an NBA title, it helps to have a gritty, hard-nosed veteran like Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder. Playing defense against a transition attack, Crowder puts that toughness on tape, completely ripping the ball out of an Oklahoma City Thunder player’s hands during a layup attempt. Crowder played to all his strengths in a 124-104 win on February 24, 2022, with 17 points, five rebounds, four assists and four steals.
