Russell rocks the rim!

/

Russell Westbrook is back and better than ever with this explosive move to get to the basket and slam it down. Guess  the hand isn't bothering him anymore cause he looked unstoppable on that move. With Westbrook and Durant back the Thunder look to climb out of their 7-13 hole to make the playoffs in the hyper competitive western conference. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo starts his layups from the 3 point line

/

The Milwaukee Bucks starting small forward affectionately nicknamed the Greek Freak lives up to that title with his play against the Detroit Pistons Friday night. He started his finger-roll layup from behind the 3 point line. No really. This is Giannis' second year in the league and he's shown an improvement over last season although it is still apparent when watching a full game that he has a lot of development to do before he can be an all-star caliber player in the NBA. Until then however he will be known for crazy inhuman plays like this. I want to see Giannis take off from the free throw line Michael Jordan style. Hell I bet he could stand at the free throw line fall straight forward and still somehow dunk it. The dude is all limbs and I love it. 

Steph Curry shoots 3 pointers like it's 2k

/

Coming HOT off his 40 point night on Tuesday Stephen Curry continues his shooting onslaught against the Orlando Magic by scoring 28 points and dishing out 8 assists in just under 24 minutes of playing time. Oh and he shot 6-8 from 3 point land. No biggie. I used to play a bunch of nba2k and a common complaint about the game is how the best 3 point shooters like Curry are "broken". While this may be true for other players in the game it isn't for #30 on the Warriors. Curry is by far the best 3 point shooter playing right now (Kevin Durant is still injured and Ray Allen still isn't signed to a team) and even more remarkably he's doing so by shooting off the dribble. If you go under a screen and Curry gets more than an inch of separation he will splash a triple, it's science.
