Welcome back to the Friendly Bounce Belt, our weekly power rankings of awesome moments in the NBA. Last week Courtney Lee took home the title for his wild buzzer beater. Let’s see who walked away with the belt this time.
The Champ: Giannis Antetokounmpo’s poster on Chris Bosh
It was a good run for Courtney Lee and his wild buzzer beater against the Kings, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is your new champion. His poster dunk on Chris Bosh was one of the most electrifying moments of the season. Keep killing it, Gianny.
The Contenders
Kemba Walker’s block out of nowhere
This was awesome, and so very close to taking home the belt. My favorite thing about this play, which my friend @connorcook pointed out to me the other day when we were talking about it, is how Calderon continues with his follow through. His hands just continue the shooting motion but there’s no ball there. It’s so great.
Ian Eagle’s artistic abilities
Ian Eagle drawing on the telestrator was one of the most bizarre moments of the season, but yet it was really captivating. I need the Nets to do this more often.
LARRY SANDERS! crossing Anderson VarejaoÂ
LARRY SANDERS!?!?!? You know what I love about this crossover? How slow it was. Most of the time when you see someone get crossed, it’s because the ball handler is super quick. But not this time. Nope, Larry just dangled Varejao almost in slow motion, and it was fantastic.
Gerald Green throwing himself an alley-oop off the glass
And 1 Mixtape Tour type stuff. I love it.
Monta Ellis’ buzzer beater
Monta Ellis have it all. There was a lot of talk about whether or not this was a travel, but I mean, come on, who cares? Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. It wasn’t obvious either way, so just let it go and focus on how awesome this shot was. Well, except if you’re a Bucks fan. Then keep right on complaining about the no-call.

Kemba Walker’s crossover
OHHHH BABBY! OHHH BABBBYYYYYY!
Steph Curry’s buzzer beaterÂ
So dirty. Only needed a two to tie the game, but that’s not what Steph Curry’s about. First he gave that quick little move to shake Tobias Harris, and then just buried the triple right in his face. Been Steph Curry with the shot.
