“So quick, so fast, a lot of length as well…” Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant “can do anything.” In one of KD’s favorite plays of the season, Morant showcases some craft and guile, using a behind-the-back and a pump fake to get a LA Clippers big into the air before ducking under to float in a seemingly effortless off-hand, up-and-under scoop finish. Morant shined under California’s bright lights with a 28-point and eight-assist performance to power Memphis to a 120-114 win on October 23, 2021.

Donovan Mitchell is “one of the best scorers in the league” and his signature step-back is “elite.” In one of KD’s favorite plays of the season, Mitchell disguises a strong drive to the rim, then crosses back beyond the arc before splashing a triple over the outstretched arms of the defender. The Utah Jazz go-to guy finished with 26 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals in a November 11, 2021 matchup with the Indiana Pacers.

Devin Booker is “just so crafty with the ball”. In one of Kevin Durant’s top plays of the season from one of his favorite players, the Phoenix Suns All-Star guard takes on his Dallas Mavericks defender at the top of the key, then spins into the paint to find 7-foot-3 Kristaps Porziņģis between himself and the rim. Booker executes a flawless up-and-under as he falls to the floor and gets it to go off the glass for two of his 24 points in a 105-98 victory on November 17, 2021.

“Nikola Jokić. League MVP for a reason.” Kevin Durant narrates one from his favorite plays of the season from the game-changing Denver Nuggets center as Jokić gets open for an inbound pass, catches it at the top of the perimeter, quickly squares up and fires a high-flying triple over the Portland Trail Blazers’ Jusuf Nurkić. The reigning MVP notched 28 points and flirted with a triple double in an emphatic win at home on November 14, 2021.

When Anthony Edwards gets out in transition, “there’s nothing you can do to stop him.” KD narrates ones of his top plays from Edwards this season as the Minnesota Timberwolves guard drops a swift in-and-out crossover combo to get by the initial defender, then takes no prisoners at the rim with a dynamic dunk over the last line of defense. Minnesota’s budding star had a huge night in 40 minutes of action against the New Orleans Pelicans on October 25, 2021: 28 points, nine rebounds and three dimes.

Steph Curry is “an electric player off the dribble” who “can do it in any way.” In one of KD’s favorite plays of the season from his former teammate, the Golden State Warriors superstar guard pushes the ball up the court and lulls his defender to sleep before hitting a long crossover and blowing past him to take it straight to the cup and loft a layup over the outstretched arm of another challenger at the hoop. Steph had 27 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in a 117-109 win over the Sacramento Kings on October 24, 2021.
