The NBA’s Best Highlights of Week 8

Jeff Green is always good for a dunk

This is just Green doing what he does best against the Wizards.

Kobe Bryant … dunks

Well, you all knew this play would be here.

Kevin Durant does his best Dr J. layup impression

You won’t see many better layups than this one.

The Suns’ double alley-oop

It’s not often you see an alley-oop pass to an alley-oop dunk, but the Suns carried it out to perfection in a fast break.

Andre Drummond buries a shot from half court at the buzzer

“Drummond hit a three” is something you’ll have only been able to utter once in his three year career. Last week, he didn’t just hit a three, he hit one from half court.

Blake Griffin takes flight against the Bucks

Luckily for Giannis Antetokounmpo, he didn’t jump to contest the dunk and make a fool of himself.

Richaun Holmes destroys Al Horford

The 76ers finally got a highlight.

The Spurs put on a passing clinic

This is the definition of Spurs basketball, as they make eight passes before creating a layup for Patty Mills.

Gerald Henderson posterizes the Heat

Henderson still proves himself as one of the most surprising dunkers in the NBA that no one remembers.

Next up, the usual update on the NBA’s top rookies.
