NBA Week 5 Rewind: Warriors, Kobe Bryant rewrite history
By Tom West
The NBA’s Best Highlights of Week 5
Basketball always provides amazing entertainment, and last week was no different.
Rajon Rondo records 20 assists against the Charlotte Hornets
It’s a rare occasion for a player to tally 20 assists in a game, and Rondo has done it within just the first few weeks of his career with the Kings.
Blake Griffin with an alley-oop… three pointer?
Seriously, it was a three pointer (not a dunk) that Griffin made from this alley-oop pass.
Jimmy Butler from half court
Butler is shooting over 40 percent from three point range for the first time in his career this season, and making shots like this help keep that number high.
No one can stop Russell Westbrook from getting to the rim
Westbrook never fails to remind us why he’s the most athletic point guard in NBA history.
Vince Carter with the buzzer beater from range
Vinsanity showed up for this near-full court bomb.
Dwyane Wade definitely still has it
No matter what critics may say, Wade can still produce and pull off moves like this.
And this.
Cory Joseph buries the game-winning three for Toronto
Just a fraction of a second before the buzzer sounded, DeMar DeRozan found an open Cory Joseph waiting in the corner who calmly buried a three pointer to defeat the Wizards 84-82.
Dwight Howard destroys Kristaps Porzingis
Dwight may not be the player he once was, but he can still throw down dunks like this from time to time. Welcome to the league, rookie.
LeBron James wins it for Cleveland
As Tristan Thompson set the high screen, LeBron drove down the lane and buried a running floater to win the game 90-88 for the Cavaliers over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night.
Now, let’s continue to the weekly breakdown of some of the top rookies.
