With an elevator or a battering ram, Jaylen Brown is getting to the rack. A man on a mission with the rock in his hands all season long, the Boston Celtics wing cuts past his defender, beelines into the paint to catch a give-and-go then unloads an unstoppable one-handed poster slam through contact on Orlando Magic rim protector Mo Bamba. Brown poured in 26 points in the lopsided February 6, 2022 victory.

Jaylen Brown

With his above-the-rim abilities and breathtaking athleticism, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has become a walking highlight. Here, Morant adds to that reel, leaping to snag a 94-foot inbound pass from the other side of the court and draining a buzzer-beating alley-oop jumpshot all in one motion. That was one of many plays Morant made, as he burned the San Antonio Spurs for a franchise-record 52 points and seven rebounds in a 118-105 win on February 28, 2022.

Ja Morant

LA Clippers superstar Paul George can get his defender off balance with the slightest move. He drops a smooth crossover behind his back, then completely breaks away from his man for a clean step-back triple that falls right in. PG-13 was unstoppable in LA’s 106-92 win over the San Antonio Spurs on November 16, 2021, dropping in a game-high 34 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and two steals.

Paul George

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 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

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

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

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

The pressure of your first NBA bucket can be immense — especially when you’re the first overall pick. Detroit Pistons 2021 draftee Cade Cunningham catches a pass at the arc and immediately blows by his defender and through the lane to lay one in with his left. Detroit walked away with the win in the rookie’s NBA debut on October 30, 2021.

Cade Cunningham

When Toronto Raptors swingman Vince Carter blew the roof off Oakland Arena on February 12, 2000, the landscape of NBA superstardom changed. So, too, did the trajectory of Canadian basketball and the sheer concept of what society considered humans capable of above the rim. With his third dunk of an already unforgettable slam dunk contest, the 23-year-old icon gathers steam from beyond the perimeter, leaps into the air from just outside the restricted area, then unleashes an Eastbay-inspired, through-the-legs alley-oop to the delight of millions world-wide. It’s over, ladies and gentlemen. Or has it just begun?

Vince Carter

In one of the first Moments to be selected by the community in Top Shot history, Evan Mobley shows off his multi-dimensional skill set, which has Cavs fans rightfully excited for the future. The 7-footer has a knack for finishing uncanny plays - Mobley makes a strong gather off a Darius Garland dish and hangs through contact to finish his first career and-one.

Evan Mobley

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.

There’s a bright future for rookies with elite creativity on the court. In his NBA debut with the Houston Rockets, first-year guard Jalen Green sprints to catch a pass near the perimeter and continues toward the hoop as several defenders mark him. Meeting Minnesota Timberwolves star center Karl-Anthony Towns at the rim, Green goes up and under in midair for an acrobatic reverse layup - the first bucket of his career - on October 20, 2021.

Jalen Green

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.

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

Fueled by competitiveness and his basketball IQ, there are no matchups too big for Golden State Warriors defensive powerhouse Draymond Green. Holding a 116-111 lead in the fourth quarter of Game 3 of the First Round, everyone in the arena knew where the Denver Nuggets would go with the ball next. Outsized by a skilled and strong Nikola Jokić, Green stands his ground before perfectly timing a reach to come up with a game-sealing steal to push his team to a 118-113 win and a 3-0 series lead. The six-time All-Defensive teamer was everywhere on April 21, 2022 with six points, five rebounds, 10 assists and two steals.

Draymond Green

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

Making an impact on a playoff-hopeful squad is no easy feat for a rookie — just don’t tell that to Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga. In his NBA debut, the 7th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, catches a behind-the-back bounce pass from teammate Juan Toscano-Anderson and steps back behind the arc to launch a confident three for his first-career bucket. Kuminga walked away with a Warriors win and the game ball on October 30, 2021.

Jonathan Kuminga

There’s nothing quite like that first-ever bucket in the NBA. For Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves, that moment required a little creativity. Here, against the Phoenix Suns, Reaves punishes an overaggressive closeout before snaking his way into the middle of the lane for a high-arcing leaner over the outstretched arms of a defender. Reaves was efficient, scoring eight points in just 12 minutes in his debut game on October 22, 2021.

Austin Reaves

Whether he’s scoring points in bunches or using his gravity to set up an open teammate, Denver Nuggets big Nikola Jokić has the code to crack any defense. With the Nuggets needing one more bucket to seal the game and extend their season, the reigning MVP rolls after a screen, receives a pass and goes straight into a Eurostep before delivering an on-the-money dime to a wide-open Will Barton in the corner. Jokić put on a show for the Denver crowd with 37 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three triples in a 126-121 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the First Round on April 24, 2022.

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

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

Before Game 1 of his series against the Memphis Grizzlies, Anthony Edwards took to social media to deliver a simple message: when the lights come on, he shows up. Edwards took to defending that message right away in the postseason, using a series of between-the-leg dribbles to catch a defender off guard, before finishing the possession with a smooth stepback. This play helped Minnesota open a five-point lead to start the fourth, on the way to a 130-117 road upset. Edwards excelled in his first postseason test with 36 points, six assists, four triples, and two blocks on April 16, 2022.

Anthony Edwards

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

Though only a rookie, Moses Moody is fearless in his attack. Despite a hard close out by All-Star Anthony Davis, Moody turned the tables with a strong baseline drive en route to a layup for his first NBA points.

Moses Moody

Franz Wagner can throw it down, as proven early and often in his young career. The Orlando Magic rookie catches a pass outside the arc and battles his way to the cup for a thunderous one-handed slam. Wagner went for 12 points in his NBA debut on October 20, 2021.

Franz Wagner

Rookies aren’t expected to make a big impact in the playoffs but it’s clear Jose Alvarado had other plans. Using his viral sneak-steal, the undersized menace preys on one of the NBA’s greatest floor generals with an incredible defensive play, leading to an easy score the other way. The play helped halt any comeback attempt from the Phoenix Suns, as the Pelicans marched to a 118-103 win to even the First Round series up at 2-2. Alvarado chipped in five points, two rebounds and a pair of key fourth-quarter swipes on April 24, 2022.

Jose Alvarado

If you’re gonna make a run at the Golden State Warriors, you’d better at least come equipped with a generational scorer capable of hitting any shot. Working off a drag screen near half court, Dallas Mavericks star guard Luka Dončić proves to be that guy, blowing by a defender on a pick-and-roll switch before hitting an off-balanced, high-arching leaner. Though ultimately for naught, Dončić’s efforts helped provide a small comeback scare. The All-Star finished his most successful season with 28 points, nine rebounds, six assists, three triples and one steal on May 26, 2022. 

Luka Dončić

Give and you shall receive, or such was the case for Gary Payton II, who happened to be in position for the biggest shot of his professional career in the fourth quarter of Game 5 of the First Round. Following a series of extra passes, Payton finds himself open with the ball, then stabilizes for a three-pointer that extends the Golden State Warriors’ lead to five, effectively sealing the series over the Denver Nuggets. Payton was dependable and excellent, with 15 points on six-of-eight shooting and three triples in a 102-98 victory on April 27, 2022.

Gary Payton II

After staking his claim as the NBA’s best late-game scorer in the regular season, it was only right that Chicago Bulls star guard DeMar DeRozan have that opportunity in the postseason. Up three with 30 seconds to go in Game 2 of the First Round, the five-time All-Star called his own number, attacking the rim with aggression on the way to a cold-blooded game-clincher over and around the Milwaukee Bucks defense. DeRozan was spectacular, tallying 41 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks in the 114-110 victory to even the series at one game apiece on April 20, 2022.

DeMar DeRozan

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

When defending the Golden State Warriors’ talented offense, prepare to be attacked from every angle. Dazzling as a scorer in his first postseason, Jordan Poole shows off his playmaking skills, splitting through a double drag screen before shipping a smooth delivery to his cutting teammate for a jam. Poole proved instrumental in erasing a 19-point first half deficit. The brilliant two-guard needed just 10 shots for 23 points, adding five assists and two steals in a 126-117 win on May 20, 2022.

Jordan Poole

The play is never over ‘til it’s over! Jalen Suggs of the Orlando Magic refuses to give up after a turnover, sprints down the court and saves the day with a beautiful chase down block to deny an easy dunk on the break. Suggs finished with six points, four assists, two steals and a block in a 119-103 victory over the Detroit Pistons on January 28, 2022.

Jalen Suggs

In one of the first Moments to be selected by the community in Top Shot history, Jalen Suggs shows that he knows how to create a clean look for himself. The former high school quarterback turned top-5 NBA draft pick wards off Dejounte Murray with a devastating behind-the-back dribble and pulls-up into a silky smooth trey.

He may be the Defensive Player of the Year but Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is more than willing to step up on offensive end when his number’s called. With his team in dire need of a final bucket to bury the Brooklyn Nets in Game 2 of the First Round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, Smart utilizes a quick first step to creep into the lane, setting himself up for a tough left-handed floater over the outstretched arms of three defenders. After the bucket, the two-way veteran couldn’t help but gaze at his hand in awe, and teammate Jaylen Brown joined the party. Smart hit the biggest shot of the night and helped secure the 114-107 victory on April 20, 2022, adding 12 points, five assists and a steal.

Marcus Smart

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.

Josh Giddey’s amazing control of the ball allows him to spearhead a naturally comfortable rhythm on offense. Here, Giddey makes a left-to-right crossover then spins the opposite direction and converts a tough reverse layup with the defense draped all over him. The star Oklahoma City Thunder rookie dropped a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds in a 101-89 victory over Houston Rockets on November 17, 2021.

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.

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

It takes more than a hostile environment and a top-tier defense to keep Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving from churning out highlight after highlight. In a display of his advanced court vision, Irving splits the defense, drawing in four defenders, then takes to the air before delivering an on-target no-look bounce pass to the deep corner to set up an open Patty Mills three-pointer. Irving was brilliant in Game 1 against his former Boston Celtics squad, stacking 39 points, five rebounds, six assists, four steals with six threes in an April 17, 2022 playoff nail-biter.

Kyrie Irving

With elite bucket-getting abilities, Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has proven he’s no average rookie. With the fate of his team in his hands, Thomas attacks a hard closeout before calmly draining a game-winning, one-legged leaner to defeat the San Antonio Spurs. Thomas chipped in 11 points and six rebounds in the 121-119 overtime win on January 9, 2022.

Cam Thomas

When you’re adjusting to the speed of the NBA game, it helps to have some breakaway speed of your own. Matched up in isolation against a bigger defender, Chicago Bulls rookie Ayo Dosunmu decides to showcase his quickness, turning on the jets before lifting off for a one-handed slam in traffic. Dosunmu showed off his potential with 15 points, 14 assists and two steals in a 122-115 win over the Indiana Pacers on February 4, 2022.

Ayo Dosunmu

Few players across the NBA have been able to elevate their level of play from the regular season to the playoffs quite as effectively as Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell. Exemplifying such, the three-time All-Star takes a high screen, quickly crosses over to split the hedging defense, then catches a body with an explosive one-handed jam in traffic. Mitchell did what he does, pouring in 32 points and six assists in Game 3 of the First Round against the Dallas Mavericks on April 21, 2022.

Donovan Mitchell

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.

To stand any chance against a generational offensive talent like Kevin Durant, a defender must be able to effectively mix fearlessness with quick decision making, and Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams proved up to the challenge in the First Round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs. Defending one-on-one at the elbow, Williams anticipates the shot attempt and swats the ball away, then runs the floor with determination before being rewarded with a pass and two points on the other end. The third-year man stepped up all series long, including seven points and this key block in a 115-114 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in Game 1 of the First Round on April 17, 2022.

Grant Williams

In one of the first Moments to be selected by the community in Top Shot history, Davion Mitchell shows he has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. In his Top Shot Debut, Mitchell, gets CJ McCollum off balance with a quick, 'snatch-back' crossover to a stepback J.

Davion Mitchell

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

When Minnesota Timberwolves big Karl-Anthony Towns is aggressive and in attack mode, every position from 1-through-5 is in danger. With his team holding a one-point advantage in the third, and in need of a big run to steal Game 1, Towns works a quick pick-and-roll, getting a smaller Memphis Grizzlies defender on him before spinning his way to the rim to drop a one-handed hammer in traffic. Towns opened the series with punctuation, dropping in 29 points, 13 rebounds and three assists in the 130-117 win on April 16, 2022.

Karl-Anthony Towns

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

On the floor alongside a former league MVP, an MVP candidate, and multiple All-Stars, it was sophomore guard Tyrese Maxey who threw the first haymaker of the First-Round matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors. Striving to hold off another one of the Raptors’ comeback efforts, Maxey excites the crowd once more, this time punishing a hard closeout with a lightning-quick drive on the way to a difficult hanging and-one bucket. Maxey became the youngest 76ers player with a 30-point postseason game (he scored 38), helping draw first blood with a 131-111 triumph in Game 1 on April 16, 2022.

Tyrese Maxey

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

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.

Very few players strike fear in the opponent’s heart with the game on the line quite like Trae Young. In the midst of a grueling series and less than 10 seconds remaining in the game, the All-Star point guard finds himself with the ball in his hands as he so often does. Looking for a hole in the Miami Heat defense, Young takes what the defense gives him, driving the lane around a physical P.J. Tucker, before steadying himself for a game-winning patented floater. True to his Ice Trae nickname, Young saved his best for last with 10 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, along with eight assists and four rebounds in a 111-110 Game 3 victory in the First Round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs on April 22, 2022.

Trae Young

Sometimes in the NBA, it’s about staying ready for when your name is ultimately called. With minimal playing time in the first four games of the Miami Heat’s First Round matchup with the Atlanta Hawks in the 2022 NBA Playoffs, two-time All-Star Victor Oladipo was asked to slide into the starting lineup for an injured Jimmy Butler in Game 5, and he delivered. Catching the defense flat-footed, Oladipo turns on the jets, using a downhill drive and a rhythmic spin move to get into the paint before finishing with a smooth, acrobatic finger roll in traffic. The explosive combo-guard led his team in scoring, dropping 23 points to go along with three steals, on the way to grittily closing out the series on April 26, 2022 with a 97-94 victory.

Victor Oladipo

Each postseason, there comes a young player or two that thrives on the big stage for the first time, solidifying themselves a star in the process. This year, New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram proved to be one of those players. In an effort to even the First Round series with the No. 1-seeded Phoenix Suns at 2-2, Ingram rose up literally and figuratively, calling on his own number after a failed post-entry pass attempt, spinning to the middle of the lane before taking flight with an electric one-handed contact slam to wow the crowd. Ingram finished with a 30-point, four-rebound, five-assist masterpiece in 118-103 win over the Phoenix Suns on April 24, 2022.

Brandon Ingram

Let ‘em know who you are, rook! In his regular season debut with the Memphis Grizzlies, Ziaire Williams is unguarded at the perimeter and makes the Cleveland Cavaliers defense pay by catching an outlet pass, squaring up and draining a three for the first bucket of his NBA career on October 20, 2021.

Ziaire Williams

When you’re attacking the rim against the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, you’d better come with both a plan and aggressive intent. With a head of steam and no defender in his airspace, Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie shows how it’s done, taking off to flush home a powerful hammer to extend the lead to 15. Dinwiddie, one of the league’s best pickups at the trade deadline, poured in 20 points, five rebounds, six assists and three steals in the 126-118 victory over the Utah Jazz in Game 3 of the First Round on April 21, 2022 to take a 2-1 series advantage.

Spencer Dinwiddie

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

Homegrown buckets hit different. In his NBA regular season debut, Chicago Bulls rookie guard Ayo Dosunmu goes on a tear for not one but two transition layups. The Chicago native and University of Illinois star wasted no time making an impact on October 20, 2021.

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.

When Miami Heat sharpshooter Duncan Robinson finds his rhythm, there are few sights scarier for a defense. Racing up from the baseline to the wing for a dribble-handoff, Robinson displays his dead-eye accuracy by effortlessly draining a triple while being fouled by an overly aggressive Atlanta Hawks defender. The third-year forward had a performance to remember in a 115-91 victory in Game 1 of the First Round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs on April 17, 2022, canning 27 points on eight-of-nine shooting from deep in just 22 minutes of play.

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.

You love to see a rookie take on an MVP-caliber defender with no fear. New Orleans Pelicans neophyte Herbert Jones considers a shot on the perimeter then, seeing a path to the rim with only three-time All-Star and reigning MVP Nikola Jokić in the way, decides to take his chances. The rookie center comes up big, reaching up and over his defender’s outstretched arm for a one-handed jam on December 8, 2021.

In win-or-go-home situations with their season on the line, it’s the best players who find a way to tap into a new level. On the brink of elimination, Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam proved prepared for the pressure, drawing a favorable switch on a pick-and-roll before muscling his way into the paint for a tough finger roll in traffic. This was a part of Siakam’s explosive second quarter, in which he scored 15 of his 34 points, giving Toronto a lead they would never again surrender on the way to cutting it to a 110-102 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 4 of the First Round. Siakam also added in eight rebounds, five assists and two blocks in an all-around performance on April 23, 2022.

Pascal Siakam

Anthony Edwards loves the challenge of going 1-on-1 to create a supreme advantage over his opponent - the rising Minnesota Timberwolves star has too many ways to put the ball in the hole. Edwards sets up his man with a hypnotizing, back and forth dribble then finishes it off with an in-and-out to a gliding finger roll. Edwards’ 26-point, five-rebound performance helped his squad secure a 107-97 win over the Sacramento Kings on November 17, 2021.

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.

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

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

Some rookies are just fearless from the jump. In his first regular season game with the Indiana Pacers, Chris Duarte attempts to lose his defender with a sidestep and a pump fake. With his man still on him and seconds left on the clock, Duarte pulls up for a jumper and beats the buzzer to nail a three, capping off an 11 point quarter. He shined in his debut with 27 points and five rebounds on October 20, 2021.

Chris Duarte

OG Anunoby has steadily improved over the course of each of his five years in the league and we saw that come to life in the Toronto Raptors’ First Round series with the Philadelphia 76ers. Up 12 points late in Game 5 with momentum on his side, Anunoby sets up for the dagger, rejecting a ball screen before taking off down the right side and dropping the sledgehammer on the way to a 103-88 victory. Anunoby was versatile in the series and the win, with 16 points, five rebounds and four assists on April 25, 2022.

OG Anunoby

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 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

Year after year, the Utah Jazz’s championship aspirations hinge largely on the production of their talented All-Star pair. Desperately hoping to avoid a 3-1 series deficit, it was only fitting that their pick-and-roll connection helped punctuate an exhilarating, come-from-behind 100-99 win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of the First Round. With just 15 seconds remaining and the Jazz down one, All-Star Frenchman Rudy Gobert uses a slip on a pick-and-roll to make himself available for what ultimately became the game-winning alley-oop. Gobert had a monster double-double with 17 points and 15 rebounds, helping even the series to a 2-2 deadlock on April 23, 2022.

Rudy Gobert

On a team full of tough shot makers, it always helps to have an ambitious rebounder chasing the rock off the glass. For the Memphis Grizzlies, Brandon Clarke has proven to be that guy. With Memphis trailing 106-104 with one minute to go, and in danger of falling into a 3-2 series hole, Clarke sets himself up for the game’s biggest rebound, tipping the ball out for a teammate to drain an ice-cold bucket. Hustle plays proved crucial in helping Memphis erase a 13-point fourth quarter deficit, and Clarke had them in abundance with 21 points and 15 rebounds on April 26, 2022.

Brandon Clarke

It takes something extra to deliver in the postseason. Enter, Monte Morris. Up against a wall in Game 4 of a First Round matchup with the Golden State Warriors, the Denver Nuggets guard methodically navigates around several defenders, before pulling up and calmly burying a tie-breaking floater from the elbow with less than a minute on the game clock. Morris’ go-ahead bucket would prove to be the difference maker as the Nuggets held strong for the victory on April 24, 2022. 

Monte Morris

When in a battle with the reigning NBA champions, you’ve got to be prepared to reach deep into your bag of tricks. Knowing that a run from the Milwaukee Bucks could come at any moment, Chicago Bulls big man Nikola Vučević keeps the pedal down, using a pick-and-roll to create a path to the rim before breaking out a silky-smooth spin, pump fake, and step-through combination to sidetrack the Bucks’ frontcourt on the way to a finish at the rim. Vučević played a key role in the 114-110 win in Game 2 of the First Round on April 20, 2022, adding 24 points, 13 rebounds and four three-pointers to help even the series at one apiece.

Nikola Vučević

The Milwaukee Bucks were without versatile big man Brook Lopez for the majority of the regular season - to have him back and healthy for the playoffs is not taken for granted. Clinging to a two-point lead in Game 1 of the First Round, the former All-Star reminds us of his unique skill set. Selling a pump fake to get a defender off-balance, Lopez drives hard to his right before hoisting up a one-handed floater over two defenders in traffic, earning the hoop and the harm. The 7-footer kicked off the postseason strong with 18 points, five rebounds and two blocks in a 93-86 win over the Chicago Bulls on April 17, 2022.

Brook Lopez

With their star player out for the first three games of the series, the Dallas Mavericks instilled a next-man-up mentality against the Utah Jazz. Time and time again, fifth-year forward Maxi Kleber was up for the challenge. Up 99-98 with three minutes remaining and anxiously pushing to avoid dropping two straight at home, Kleber steadies himself along the right baseline, taking advantage of a well-timed drive-and-kick before draining a crowd-igniting three-pointer, one of his eight on the night. Kleber caught fire with 25 points on 8-of-11 from deep, six rebounds, and three assists in the 110-104 victory in Game 2 of the First Round on April 18, 2022.

Maxi Kleber

When the NBA’s two highest-scoring teams meet for a playoff duel, everyone’s going to get their chance to shine. For Tyus Jones, that moment came with a chance to close the series for good. Proving ready in the final minute of a one-point game, Jones pops far along the top of the key, providing himself enough space to take a teammate’s pass and raise up for a series-clinching bucket in Game 6. That helped cap a 40-22 fourth-quarter run, guiding a come-from-behind 114-106 win on April 29, 2022, in which Jones contributed 10 points and four assists.

Tyus Jones

For years, Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook has made a career out of drawing in defenses and setting up open teammates. Driving downhill against the Utah Jazz, Westbrook does it once more, posting up to clear a path for a teammate before dropping a dime for a highlight jam. Westbrook was in typical do-it-all mode, with 17 points, seven rebounds and six assists in a 106-101 victory on February 16, 2022.

Russell Westbrook

It may not always show up on the stat sheet but somehow, someway Kevon Looney consistently leaves an impression on the Golden State Warriors’ playoff battles. Creating hustle play after hustle play, Looney gets rewarded as a teammate draws in two Dallas Mavericks defenders before scooping a pass his way for a buzzer-beating slam. The play capped off a third quarter in which the Warriors cut the Mavericks’ 14-point halftime lead to just two. Helping his team defend home court to take a 2-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals, Looney unleashed a postseason career-high 21 points on 10-of-14 shooting, 12 rebounds and two assists in the 126-117 triumph on May 20, 2022.

Kevon Looney

A finalist for the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award, Phoenix Suns guard Mikal Bridges is capable of making life difficult for any perimeter player across the NBA landscape. Rotating over to contest a shot attempt from a New Orleans Pelicans guard, Bridges uses his 7-foot-1 wingspan to swat a layup attempt, and then again seconds later on a putback try. Taking on a little extra offensive responsibility with teammate Devin Booker out with an injury, Bridges had a night to remember in Game 5 of the First Round dropping a playoff career-high 31 points on just 17 shots, five rebounds, four blocks and four triples in the 112-97 win on April 26, 2022.

Mikal Bridges

Rookie forward Jalen Johnson has the tools to be a problem in this league for years. The Atlanta Hawks fanbase gets a small glimpse of that potential as the Duke product drains a triple from the top of the key in his NBA regular season debut.

Jalen Johnson

Rumble, young man, rumble. Oklahoma City Thunder rookie guard Tre Mann assesses a fully-set Utah Jazz defense and, rolling around a screen, finds himself matched up with three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert. With time fast expiring in the first quarter, Mann fearlessly takes one step toward the basket then steps back to sink a long jumper over Gobert’s outstretched arm in his NBA debut on October 20, 2021.

Tre Mann

Ayo Dosunmu of the Chicago Bulls is an exciting young playmaker who provides a real edge for his squad. The rookie point guard splits two defenders and has some fun with a ball fake into a smooth drop-off pass to Tony Bradley for the dunk. Dosunmu was in top form against the Boston Celtics on January 15, 2022 - racking up a double-double with 21 points, 10 dimes and four rebounds in a starting role.

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.

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.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby was viewed as a player on the rise heading into the 2021-22 season, a distinction he’s proven he’s more than capable of handling. Here, he shows his ability to rise, literally, faking a dribble handoff before turning on the turbo and taking off for a hanging two-handed poster jam. Anunoby chipped in 13 points, instrumental in a narrow 110-106 win against the Miami Heat on February 1, 2022.

If you’re planning to suit up for the San Antonio Spurs, you’d better know a thing or two about smart ball movement. Catching the Orlando Magic sleeping on defense, big man Jock Landale shows off his IQ and vision, dropping a nifty dime to a teammate on a backdoor cut in his debut game on October 20, 2021.

Jock Landale

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

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson has earned a reputation as one of the league’s most feared three-point snipers but give him a free runway to the rim and he’s got no problem breaking out his poster dunk-worthy 36-inch vertical. Holding a seven-point lead with two minutes remaining against a gritty New Orleans Pelicans team, Johnson attacks downhill, using a pick to clear a path before rising up for an emphatic one-handed slam to put the game on ice. Johnson showed his versatility in the 112-97 win in Game 5 of the First Round on April 26, 2022, with eight points, nine rebounds and five assists, helping the Suns move to a 3-2 series lead.

Cameron Johnson

Quentin Grimes is impressing the entire basketball world with his confidence in his rookie season. In a home matchup at the Garden against the reigning champion Milwaukee Bucks, the New York Knicks wing catches a pass from teammate Derrick Rose and quickly releases over the arms of his defender for three of his game-high 27 points on December 12, 2021.

Quentin Grimes

If there’s an angle Ja Morant can’t squeeze a layup through, the world has yet to see it. The Memphis Grizzlies guard hits a lightning-quick right-to-left crossover, corkscrewing a scoop shot over the arms of both Kent Bazemore and Anthony Davis. It was one of many highlights from a 40-point, 10-assist masterpiece against the Los Angeles Lakers on October 24, 2021.

In the NBA, there are star players, then there are players that are stars in their role. In the First Round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, Brooklyn Nets utility man Bruce Brown was a superstar in his role. Working a dribble-handoff into a pick-and-roll with teammate Kevin Durant, Brown darts the lane, corrals the pocket pass, then finishes the play smoothly under duress. The heartbeat of the Brooklyn Nets opened the game with nine straight points on the way to a postseason career-high 23 points, eight rebounds and four assists, a valiant effort in Game 2 of the First Round on April 20, 2022.

Bruce Brown

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

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.

When you burn defenses by draining open three-pointers, hard closeouts follow. In the middle of an excellent performance on the road in a hostile environment, Milwaukee Bucks guard Grayson Allen shows his ability to punish the Chicago Bulls defense, taking advantage of an overzealous defender on the way to the rim for a smooth finger-roll finish, plus the foul. Sharing the floor with multiple All-Stars and MVP candidates, it was Allen who led the game in scoring with 22 points, six rebounds and five triples, guiding a demonstrative 111-81 win in Game 3 of the First Round on April 22, 2022 to push the Bucks to a 2-1 series edge.

Grayson Allen

In a series-opening defensive slugfest that featured 20 combined blocks, the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics forced one another to think twice before taking a shot at the rim. Few did it as demonstratively as Daniel Theis. Dropping back to the rim to defend a pick-and-roll, Theis shows off both incredible timing and athleticism, spinning just in time to meet his check at the summit, sending an aggressive dunk attempt in the other direction. The Celtics were unable to make the most of the highlight rejection, falling 118-107 in Game 1 on May 17, 2022, though Theis provided key energy off the bench with eight points, four rebounds, two assists and one block.

Daniel Theis

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris has been a reliable scorer in the league for a long time now, and he won’t shy away from an opportunity to make his impact on a game. Attacking a closeout, the crafty veteran uses a reverse between-the-legs dribble to power his way to the rim before finishing a tough layup in heavy traffic. The bucket kickstarted a 23-12 run that helped the Sixers claw back into the game, anchoring a thrilling 104-101 overtime win in Game 3 of their First Round series with the Toronto Raptors. Harris chipped in an important 11-point, 12-rebound performance on April 20, 2022.
