With the NBA season winding down, we thought it would be nice to reminisce about some of the good things that happened this season.

NBA highlights are some of the best things to watch. You can watch them once, and be hooked instantly and want to watch more. They’re about as addicting as Netflix. Naturally, I thought it would be a good idea to find some of the best highlights from the regular season.

Obviously, I spent hours upon end researching Google and tirelessly searching the depths of Twitter to find these. But seriously, there were so many good highlights this season that it was difficult to pick just five. Kudos to the players for giving us a wide variety of highlights to pick from. I would just include five-game highlights from Russell Westbrook achieving his triple-doubles, but I don’t think that’d go well with the James Harden fans.

Joel Embiid returned this year and gave Philly fans hope for the first time since Allen Iverson. Westbrook became the triple-double machine we all knew he could. Harden became D’Antoni’s new pet project. LeBron James kept doing LeBron things. Rookies shined this year and veterans faltered. In with the new and out with the old, I guess.

But we’re not here for seasonal awards, we’re here for NBA HIGHLIGHTS!!

5. Steph is truly remarkable

What can’t this man do? Honestly, I would like to know. He has done everything for the Golden State Warriors and willed them to success through the absence of Kevin Durant.

During a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Curry decided to try something new on the Wolves.

WOW.

Curry is leading the charge downhill for the Warriors, with both Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala at his side. Curry then shifted to his left and drew in the defender, who happened to be Ricky Rubio. Then, tragedy struck for Rubio; he left Iguodala open.

Steph can find anyone on the floor at any time. Obviously, Curry was going to find Iguodala, it was just a matter of how he was going to do it. He didn’t do anything too flashy, like an off the backboard pass or through some legs, but he threw a behind the back laser.

Extremely remarkable.
