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.
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.
Paul Pierce, now with the Washington Wizards, continues to score buckets but tonight marked a significant milestone when he passed none other than Jerry West aka The Logo aka Mr.Clutch for the 17th spot on the NBA all time scoring list. The 37 year old Pierce averages just over 21 ppg for his career and looks to be the deciding veteran factor for the Wizards this season. Paul's big shot occurs 30 seconds into the video.
Tied at 86 in the final seconds of regulation versus the Charolette Hornets Rodney Stucky was looking to win the game but air balls the jumper. Thankfully for Indiana Solomon Hill grabs the miss and flips it over his back to beat the buzzer and win the game. Hill may have only had 6 PTs and 5rebs in his 38 minutes of play but his late game heroics give the Pacers an 88-86 victory.
