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

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.

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

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

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

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

Despite your best effort as a defender, Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton will find a way to drop a bucket. Haliburton breaks out his do-it-yourself kit with a double crossover into a driving up-and-under finish through two defenders. Haliburton had a monster game while helping lead Sacramento to a 121-114 win over the San Antonio Spurs on December 19, 2021 with 27 points, 11 dimes and four rebounds on 63% shooting.

Tyrese Haliburton

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

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

Put your defender on skates and capitalize. Indiana Pacers third-year forward Kelan Martin catches a pass in the corner, takes two big steps toward the key, then loses his man with a massive crossover before levitating for a silky jumper. Indiana bested the Philadelphia 76ers on the road 118-113 on November 13, 2021.

Kelan Martin

With his 6-foot-11 frame and 7-foot-5 wingspan, Steven Adams has the ability to affect nearly any shot around the rim. Timing his rotation just right, the Memphis Grizzlies big man was able to sneak into the lane at the last second and send a layup into the stands with an authoritative block. Adams was at his best in this 105-90 triumph over the Miami Heat, producing 17 points, 16 rebounds, a steal and a block on December 6, 2021.

Steven Adams

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

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D’Angelo Russell has incredible style and creativity with the ball in his hands, which makes it difficult for defenders to figure out his next move. He breaks his man down with a few back-and-forth crossovers before shifting gears into a hesitation dribble and lefty scoop. Russell tallied 20 points, six assists, three rebounds and two blocks in an impressive victory over the Miami Heat on November 24, 2021.

D'Angelo Russell

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent is better known for his three-point shooting, but his “first career dunk,” as he calls it, is one for the books. The Washington Wizards defense clears the runway, allowing him a free lane to the basket for a two-handed slam. Vincent did a little bit of everything in this game, finishing with 18 points and three assists in a 112-97 win on November 18, 2021.

Gabe Vincent

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

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’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

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

Washington's Daniel Gafford is an athletic finisher who dunks with a vendetta towards the rim. Here he gets a clean lane off a Kyle Kuzma lookahead pass and puts it down with force.

Daniel Gafford

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.

Coby White

Blocks off the glass just hit different. Picking up reigning NBA champ Giannis Antetokounmpo at halfcourt, Philadelphia 76ers sophomore forward Paul Reed tracks the two-time MVP as he makes a break for the rim. Reed comes up big, swatting a layup attempt off the backboard for one of his two blocks on November 9, 2021.

Paul Reed

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.

Dalano Banton

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.

Darius Garland

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.

Aaron Gordon

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

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.

Josh Giddey

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.

T.J. McConnell

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

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.

Nikola Vučević

LA Clippers forward Paul George has earned his reputation as one of the NBA’s best tough-shot makers. The seven-time All-Star puts everything on display here, curling to the corner, and using his high release point to force overtime with a contested three-pointer at the buzzer. George had 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists against the Dallas Mavericks on November 23, 2021.

Paul George

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.

Terance Mann

You need at least a couple players to defend in the area whenever Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo is deep in the paint. He corrals a lead pass from teammate Tyler Herro, finds room in the paint and powers up and over the Charlotte Hornets’ Cody Martin for a two-handed flush. Bam’s slam was a small part of his monster 26-point, 19-rebound night in a 114-99 win over Charlotte on October 29, 2021.

Bam Adebayo

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

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

At 6-foot-1, Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet cedes the size advantage nearly every time he attacks the rim. Nonetheless, the 2019 NBA champion has a crafty finish for any situation. Against the Milwaukee Bucks, VanVleet rejects a screen before splitting between two Bucks defenders and curling in a smooth finger roll. He had himself a night in a 97-93 win over the Bucks on December 2, 2021 with 29 points, five rebounds and four assists.

Fred VanVleet

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

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.

Facundo Campazzo

The Phoenix Suns have become one of the league’s fastest teams in 2021-22, with Mikal Bridges being one of the biggest beneficiaries. Here, the Suns swingman turns on the jets right as he senses a fastbreak opportunity, then earns an alley-oop dunk from teammate Devin Booker. Bridges had an efficient 16-point performance during a 109-104 win over Sacramento on November 8, 2021.

Mikal Bridges

If you don’t pay proper defensive attention, it’s easy to get burned. Philadelphia 76ers veteran big Andre Drummond rolls behind his defenders for a one-handed lob finish via teammate Shake Milton. Drummond had a dominant night vs. the New York Knicks, dropping 14 points and 25 rebounds on November 8, 2021.

Andre Drummond

The Oklahoma City Thunder roster is stockpiled with young talent. Isaiah Roby is one of those players. The versatile big shows off his guard-like skills with a quick jab step, then puts it on the deck and elevates for a monstrous one-handed slam. Roby notched eight points and six boards off the bench in this October 20, 2021 contest.

Isaiah Roby

Scottie Barnes is a problem. The Toronto Raptors rookie flashes his do-it-all talent in this possession, taking his defender off the dribble, getting to his spot inside the paint and floating a lefty finish that finds the bottom of the net. Barnes finished with 12 points and nine boards in his NBA debut in the October 20, 2021 contest.

Scottie Barnes

Don’t underestimate a rookie with something to prove in their NBA debut. On the road against the Portland Trail Blazers on October 27, 2021, Memphis Grizzlies first-year forward Santi Aldama collects a pass with no one near him. With nothing but time, Aldama makes the Portland defense pay with a high-flying triple on October 27, 2021.

Santi Aldama

When you’ve been throwing down in the NBA for nearly a decade, posterizing becomes a habit. In a road matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings big Alex Len works the pick-and-roll with teammate Tyrese Haliburton and dunks over his defender with rim-rattling emphasis on December 11, 2021.

Alex Len

You don’t go 11-plus years in the league without reinventing parts of your game. Blake Griffin has done so at several points in his NBA career with the careful craft of his jump shot. In an October 31, 2021 matchup against his former team, the Brooklyn Nets forward pivots once to back up against his defender then pivots again for a half-spin, stepback, fadeaway jumper. Unstoppable.

Blake Griffin

As a savvy veteran playmaker, Washington Wizards guard Raul Neto has elite timing when navigating through the paint. Neto drives hard to his left after receiving a screen, draws in the shot-blocker by teasing a layup with his right hand, then drops off a perfect, behind-the-head feed with his left hand. Neto finished with five points and three dimes off the bench in Washington’s 124-117 win against the New York Knicks on December 23, 2021.

Raul Neto

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

LaMelo Ball’s passing game alone is must-see television. In an October 25, 2021 matchup against the Boston Celtics, the Charlotte Hornets sophomore guard pushes the ball up the court and tears into the paint. Noticing teammate Miles Bridges trailing him at the top of the key, Ball dishes a pinpoint-precise dime over his shoulder without looking, for Bridges to throw down with a thunderous slam. The 2020-21 Rookie of the Year went for 25 points, nine assists and five boards on the night.

LaMelo Ball

Leave a rookie wide open in the paint and that decision just might blow up in your face. Houston Rockets first-year big man Alperen Şengün follows a teammate’s high-flying three attempt and, unguarded, levitates to emphatically jam it home as it bounces off the rim. Şengün grabbed six boards to go along with 11 points in his NBA debut on October 20, 2021.

Alperen Şengün

Lance’ll make ‘em dance! Back for a third stint with the team that drafted him over a decade earlier, veteran Lance Stephenson finds himself in a matchup between his NBA home with the Indiana Pacers and his hometown Brooklyn Nets. Stephenson works his defender with a series of crossovers then gets up for a long three at the buzzer and his 20th point of the quarter in a performance that received a standing ovation from the Indiana home crowd on January 5, 2022.

Lance Stephenson

Watching a center show off guard-like skills is a sight to behold. When it’s Boban Marjanović, fan excitement rises to another level. The Dallas Mavericks big man receives a pass inside, pump fakes, then splits the defense for a left-handed finish on November 15, 2021.

Boban Marjanović

Two points is two points but it doesn't hurt to put some flair on it, especially when uncontested at the rim. Rookie Alperen Sengun drops a pass to Christian Wood, who slams the ball down with some punctuation.

Christian Wood

Hamidou Diallo put the world on notice with his 2019 Slam Dunk Contest victory, and those hops haven’t gone anywhere. The Detroit Pistons forward gains a head of steam off of a pick-and-roll, and takes off, flying over a sea of New Orleans Pelicans defenders for a demonstrative jam on December 10, 2021.

Hamidou Diallo

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant is a rim protector. Grant shows off his defensive awareness and comes from the weak side to help pin a layup attempt off glass to prevent an easy bucket.

Jerami Grant

A rookie with no fear is a sight to behold. First-year Charlotte Hornets forward JT Thor catches a kick-out pass from teammate Gordon Hayward on the baseline and gets up for a dunk. Meeting Philadelphia 76ers veteran Andre Drummond in the air, Thor gets around the 7-footer with a one-handed hammer for two of the rook’s eight points on December 6, 2021.

JT Thor

Flight 8 is ready for takeoff! Zach LaVine plus a clear breakaway opportunity automatically guarantees a spectacular slam worth the price of admission. LaVine finds himself with nothing but space as he checks for trailing defenders, then perfectly anticipates the bounce off his teammate’s lead pass and gathers into one of the most effortless 360s you’ll ever see. The Chicago Bulls All-Star dropped 25 points on a ridiculous 71% shooting from the field in a 131-117 Bulls victory over the Atlanta Hawks on December 29, 2021.

Zach LaVine

Julius Randle is a defender's nightmare. Bruising in the post, cat-like quickness on the perimeter. The versatile forward sizes up his defender, then blows by for a one-handed hammer. That's tough.

Julius Randle

The ability to make tough shots cannot be taught. Denver Nuggets rookie Bones Hyland shows no fear in going 1-on-1 with his defender and puts on a series of moves, hesitations and fakes. Despite stout defense, Hyland still converts a leaning, one-handed fadeaway going left. That’s tough. The bucket counted for two of Hyland’s seven points off the bench in his NBA debut on October 25, 2021.

Bones Hyland

Now you see him, now you don’t. LA Clippers veteran guard Reggie Jackson makes a heads-up play, first lulling Jordan McLaughlin to sleep before suddenly turning on the turbo en route to a blow-by and an acrobatic layup. Jackson had a season-best 29-point performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a 126-115 win on November 3, 2021 along with eight assists and five rebounds.

Reggie Jackson

Be ready when Ish Smith has the ball in his hands. A simple two-man game fakes the defense as the Charlotte Hornets guard uses a slip screen to reward teammate PJ Washington underneath the hoop, whipping a no-look pass to the big for an easy two points. Smith recorded five dimes in the October 31, 2021 win against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Ish Smith

Caris LeVert is one of the best isolation wings out there. He caps off a 43-point Indiana Pacers first quarter with a heavily contested step-back triple over seven-footer Jakob Poeltl at the buzzer. LeVert dropped 16 points and 7 assists in a 131-118 slugfest against the San Antonio Spurs on November 1, 2021.

Caris LeVert

In year five as teammates, Toronto Raptors teammates Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby can communicate without a single spoken word. Anunoby slips to the basket and slams down a perfect feed from VanVleet up top. Anunoby dropped a career-high 36 points to lead Toronto to an impressive victory over the New York Knicks in The Garden on November 1, 2021.

OG Anunoby

Fake left, go right. Orlando Magic big man Moritz Wagner abides by this rule of thumb and freezes his defender in the post before attacking the rack and finishing with a ferocious slam. This dunk was two of Wagner's eight points off the bench that helped the Magic grab a road win in the October 24, 2021 contest.

Moritz Wagner

Sometimes you just have to put your foot on the gas and take it all the way to the rim yourself. New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram does just that as he pushes the ball across halfcourt and speeds up before the Oklahoma City Thunder defense can mark him. He finds a lane between four defenders and gets up for a powerful one-handed flush. Ingram had a game-high 34 points to go along with eight assists in the Pelicans’ win on December 15, 2021.

Brandon Ingram

Some dunks are delivered with such emphasis that the impact seems to reverberate through the entire arena. Minnesota Timberwolves third-year guard Jaylen Nowell seizes an open lane and tears through the paint to throw down a contested one-handed slam. Nowell went for 29 points in a 108-103 win over the Boston Celtics on December 27, 2021.

Jaylen Nowell

Mo Bamba has become a popular addition to breakout candidate lists largely due to his overwhelming athleticism, on display here with a putback dunk off of a Cole Anthony missed floater. The Orlando Magic big man went for 18 boards, 14 points, five assists and three blocks in a narrow 110-109 loss to Toronto on October 29th, 2021.

Mo Bamba

How do you stop an alley-oop tag team that’s perfectly in sync? Don’t bother asking. New Orleans Pelicans big man Jaxson Hayes hands the ball off to teammate Kira Lewis Jr. at the three-point line then, as a defender falls to the ground unsure who of the pair to guard, Hayes levitates to slam home a feed from Lewis Jr. on October 30, 2021.

Jaxson Hayes

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

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

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.
