Dunk of the Night

Thunder forward Kevin Durant shows he has some sweet no-look passing skills to go with his scoring as evidence by this slam by Serge Ibaka. Why did you even get in the way of that finish, J.R. Smith?

Because shooting and dunks aren’t everything, here’s a mix of the top defensive plays of this last week to remind you what still wins games.

Just because Dwyane Wade of the HEAT is a star doesn’t mean his kids don’t have their own heroes. Wade and his sons took a minute to snap a photo with the legendary Kobe Bryant.

Not only are these Under Armour kicks courtesy of Warriors guard Kent Bazemore awesome, they’re also a salute to our most important heroes.
