The Best Highlights of Week 9

Alec Burks destroys the Suns

Burks keeps on showing off his athleticism this season as he rose over Jon Leuer for the poster dunk.

The top 10 plays of Christmas Day

It’s Christmas time, so why not just include a whole bunch of top plays from the big day?

Bismack Biyombo destroys Jabari Parker’s dunk attempt

This was quite possibly the play of the week — an absolutely ferocious block by Biyombo.

JaMychal Green with more strong defense

Lou Williams must have felt useless against this perfectly timed block from Green.

Vince Carter’s still got it

It’s no surprise that the great Vinsanity can still throw it down  — even at 38 years of age.

The Thunder take flight

Dion Waiters and Russell Westbrook both threw down a monstrous dunk as the Thunder took down the Nuggets 112-122 on Sunday night.

Rajon Rondo to Rudy Gay for the reverse alley-oop

Rondo and Gay, yet again, helped the Kings execute a perfect fast break.

Now, it’s time to look at how the NBA’s star trio of rookie big men are doing.
