Andalusian, your avatar is awesome, and way to go Rudy!

Glad to see Rudy got some love this time around. I was really surprised that SLAM didn't have him once in their top 100 plays of the year. Fantastic!

the #10 Beasley one barely deserved a replay let alone making a top 10 of the year list. On the other hand the Mayo alleyoop was pretty awesome. I'd have placed Batum's Pau facial somewhere on there for sure... hell, that Bayless cocked back behind the head two hand throwdown (on the Nets?) was better then most of those.

It's a tribute to barfo!

It's not being a homer to say that the #1 play was definitely the #1 play. The no-look-pass to spinning lay-in was probably a top 10 play in itself. To then steal the inbounds pass and hit a 3 right as the shot clock goes off? Insane.

Echos of Reggie Miller right there.

Thanks for posting this. Made my day.

I'm surprised LEbron didnt confiscate this from Youtube

How is Bayless' dunk @ NJ not on there?

Because two out of the top ten is pretty damn good for the Blazers, and they had to get their boy Beasley on the list.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I was surprised that Derrick Rose didn't have a few more in there, too. He had a few blocks where he came out of nowhere and some sick dunks throughout the season.

I agree, some of those were weak, especially Beasley's layup.

Yeah, that should have replaced Kevin Love's dunk (which should have replaced Beasely's... thing). It was a big-time slam as part of a big-time comeback.

 

[alex42083]

Yeah, Beasley's was pretty weak. And I like how they tried to describe it as an Hakeem-like spin move. Oh please.. not even close.

 

[Iwatas]

Truly awesome. I am *so* going to miss Sergio. He'll have fun in Sac-Town.

I hope Andre feeds Rudy well!

It wasn't the shot clock, it was the 3rd quarter buzzer and put the Blazers up by 21 points heading into the 4th.
