Know what you’re talking about around the water cooler with best highlights of last night.
A lot happened last night, from Odell Beckham shockingly getting traded to the Cleveland Browns to Le’Veon Bell finally choosing a team. You can’t be blamed for missing some of the best highlights from last night, but you can’t go to the water cooler today empty handed
Luckily, we have you covered:
10. Welcome back Andre Ingram!
You may remember Andre Ingram from last season. He’s a 33-year-old career G-Leaguer who got some run for the Lakers last season and became an overnight fan favorite. Well, the Lakers signed him to a 10-day contract this week and his reputation has held up. Here are Chicago Bulls fans–not even Lakers fans!–cheering him on as he checks into the game. Shout out Andre Ingram.

9. Almost, Jamal Murray
You could basically sum up Jamal Murray’s biggest moments this season as such: Close, but no cigar. We all remember him gunning for that 50 piece early in the season, right? Well, here he goes for the highlight on the fast break dunk and, well…

8. Sell the team
Credit analytics, the accessibility of NBA League Pass, or whatever you want, fans are getting smarter and smarter. And that showed up in Indiana tonight, when fans at Bankers Life Field House chanted “Sell the team” while newly minted Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. was at the free throw line. Can James Dolan suspect an entire state from watching the Knicks? Please?

7. Donovan Mitchell eats Nerlens Noel’s lunch
Nerlens Noel NOOOOOOOOOO! The more you watch this clip, the more savage. Just break it down. Donovan Mitchell is bringing it up and, for some reason, Noel lunges toward him. As soon as he does, Mitchell darts to Noel’s left side. Noel races back to block off the inside lane but Mitchell is a skilled man, man. He steps back, sending Noel sliding, and drains the wide-open 3. Give him your lunch money, Nerlens.

6. Ronaldo’s hat trick
Juventus brought Cristiana Ronaldo to Italy for these moments and he delivered. Ronaldo scored three goals to beat Atletico 3-0 and advance in the Champions League.

5. LeBron putting on a show
The Lakers may be out of the playoffs, but they may be on to something with this LeBron James minutes restriction. Look, if the season really is almost over for Los Angeles, I appreciate LeBron putting on a show if these are, indeed, his last few games this season.

4. Is this real?
This kid… I mean… what?
And he’s going faster? This kid goes faster on the treadmill while dribbling than I do on a treadmill after a double espresso. Look at Pulisic.
3. KAT scratch fever
If you want extra points here, be mean, and Karl-Anthony Towns was mean to Mason Plumlee tonight in Denver. Not only did KAT yam on him once, but he yammed on him again just 15 seconds later! He’s already dead, KAT! Leave him alone!

2. Embiid hates rims
My favorite thing might be when dudes dunk so hard that even they can’t handle it. It must be a strong dunk if a dude like Joel Embiid can’t handle it. This is just nasty. Glad you’re back, big fella.

And can we just appreciate T.J. McConnell’s reaction?

1. LeBron off the backboard
Oh, you thought we were done with LeBron? We were just getting started! Look, I know it was against the Bulls, but we got to savor these moments. The slap, the steal, the lob, off the backboard, the catch and the spin and the dunk. That’s the good stuff. Oh, and the Lakers won, 123-107.
