The Spurs and Rockets are locked in the best game of the playoffs right now, and Manu Ginobili provided its best moment. The 39-year-old Argentinian sliced through the lane late in the second quarter and banged one in with his off-hand. The bench’s reaction says it all.

Are the Cavs a bit rusty after an eight-day layoff between the first round and the second?

The Raptors ripped out of the gates against the Bucks tonight hungry and unafraid to contend with Milwaukee’s imposing length. Giannis Antetokounmpo in particular has menaced the Raps on both ends of the court, but Serge Ibaka had no problem getting around and over him for this smooth jam.

UCLA commit Jaylen Hands went with the high-risk-high-reward path for his entry in last night’s San Diego All-Star Dunk Contest—dunking over his mom and his dad. A misstep would likely have not gone over too well with his parents, but the point guard executed a flawless dunk that won him the contest and left his…

Earlier this week, the Magic found themselves in the awkward position of reassuring Aaron Gordon that the whiteboard-fueled rumors about trading him definitely weren’t true, no way. Tonight, Gordon tried to make a case for sticking around by literally jumping out of his shoe to turn this slick Elfrid Payton alley-oop…

Colin Sexton is heading to Alabama next year to play for the Crimson Tide, but not before he lights it up one last time at the high school level. He’s playing in the All-American game tonight, and he’s spending his time creating outrageous highlights, such as this gyroscopic alley-oop assist.

The Miami Heat’s James Johnson dunked on Marcus Morris so hard in Tuesday’s game against the Pistons that Morris’s twin brother Markieff probably felt it, too.

In the fourth quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday, LeBron James blew past George Hill to throw down a thundering one-handed slam.

The Spurs and Blazers are locked in a tight one, and Kawhi Leonard is leading the way for San Antonio. He got into a bit of an argument in the third quarter with Gregg Popovich, who’s never one to shy away from letting his stars have it.

The Cavs had their hands surprisingly full with the Pistons tonight and ultimately lost, but who cares for the details there when you can bask in the glory of this gorgeous LeBron dunk instead?

After last Wednesday, Louisville forward Deng Adel probably thought he was in the clear for claiming the team’s dunk of year. Unfortunately for him, Syracuse defenders are a bunch of ball-watchers.

UNC and Louisville are in the midst of a tight one in Chapel Hill right now. It’s been a good game between the top-ten teams, and the best moment was easily Deng Adel’s eye-popping dunk from just in front of the free throw line. Look at this jam!

Purdue escaped State College on Tuesday night largely unscathed, claiming a 74-70 overtime win against Penn State; star forward Caleb Swanigan wasn’t so lucky.

Yes, West Virginia is up big at the half over Texas. But spiritually, we don’t see how they ever recover from the devastation of this Jarrett Allen dunk.

I used to say that the dunk contest was dead. The days when the NBA’s elite players competed were long gone, I said, along with lots of basketball fans. Most of the modern dunks are rehashes of old ones. The event has plateaued.

There’s no denying that Suns rookie Derrick Jones Jr. knows how to do some big-ass dunks, but I’ve remained skeptical of the teen’s sleeper candidacy in this year’s dunk contest. In-game dunks and dunk-contest dunks are totally different beasts, and it’s hard to say Jones Jr. really has a shot at defeating the likes…

Blue chip recruit and high school junior Zion Williamson pulled off a cool-as-dang dunk two weeks ago. The sequel was even better.

Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein, a young NBA player that this blog once called “butt,” has been playing the best basketball of his career in 2017. He helped the Kings beat the Boston Celtics tonight without Boogie Cousins with 14 points and a smattering of rebounds and assists, but, oh God, who cares, look at this…

Iowan eighth grader Trashaun Willis is half as old as me and has half as many arms and he can dunk. He picked off a pass last week and jammed it but, as he told MaxPreps, this wasn’t even his first dunk of the year.

Derrick Jones Jr. has played all of 11 minutes for the Phoenix Suns. In that time, he’s made one layup, hit one free throw, and committed one personal foul. Jones has spent most of his time in the D-League where he’s been playing 32 minutes a night and averaging 15 points and 6 boards. Not the most impressive…

Joel Embiid and his historic season aside, this class of NBA rookies hasn’t looked all that strong yet. One half of a season is not enough time to come to a conclusion about anyone’s career, but so far this class has been, as NBA.com’s Scott Howard-Cooper put it a month ago, bad. The number-one pick from last season…

Pity the poor defender who found himself in sophomore Chase Hunter’s path on this play. He probably thought he had a chance at drawing a charge or at least not getting completely wrecked, but, sadly, that is not how things played out.
