That was a sweet move by Manu. But it pales in comparison to that ridulous behind the back, twisting reverse layup against the Suns in the conference finals. That move was crazy AND it was in the last minute(s?) of an incredibly tight game.

It was a top-20 play for him....so far....but it was sick.
He did so many amazing plays just this season that I don't see it as top 10.
His twisting back-to-the-basket while being mugged by Brad Miller flip up for the and-1 was memorable.
I know I've mentioned this before but one play a lot of people missed was at home against Milwaukee. Manu was going down the right side on a fastbreak and when he got to the wing, he started to rifle a pass to a teammate and as his arm was almost completely extended he brought his hand under the ball and brought it back in, as though it was glued to his fingertips and totally faked out everyone. The crowd just gasped. I've seldom heard a reaction with that kind of a sound...it was kind of like a "Whuhhhhhh?????" :lol

As sweet as it was, it wasn't even in the Top 10 plays on SportsCenter, just Chauncy's behind the back fake.
I liked the Billups Stunner..Quote:

Here's some info for you guys:
ESPN sucks. They are the ET of sports, that's it. they wouldn't know a good play from a mud puddle.
Ha! I remember that play. I may even have the video of it someplace in my HD.Quote:

That dunk was crazy, I didn't see it coming at all, I was totally convinced that he was doin a finger roll, and out of no where I heard the rim rattle!
Sports Center had almost all baseball highlights, as if there's such a thing.
I know WTF is up with that, they only had one play on the count down this morning and it was the fake by Chauncy.Quote:

It happened in the 4th quarter of the Milwaukee game at SBC Center but I don't have it....maybe Rick does.
I've been watching this guy since he came into the league and I'm always amazed when he leaps like that. He just seems to keep going up. Billups play was pretty sweet though. Anytime you make a guy with Horry's experience look surprised you've done something right.
Great play. Detroit's bigs need to put him on the ground when he drives like that. Sadly, I don't think LB will ever go that route...
That's only gonna give him 2 shots from the stripe, and that's what manu wants...you put manu on the ground, he'll just keep drivin.Quote:

Denver and Seattle both tried that to the point of getting flagrants. It didn't work. Manu gets off to that shit. I think he actually wants the adreniline hit that comes with getting popped in the head. He certainly seems to channel his pain.Quote:

It was pretty sick. Clips of ones like the shot above don't impress me at all though. How many times have you guys been on the court and flipped up a laugher and it went in? Not as much as Manu obviously but like a full court shot its more chance than anything. This dunk was impressive EVEN if he had just layed it in. It reminded me of Kobe's up and under and back up reverse two years ago over/under both Rasho and KG at the rim in the playoffs. You had to watch the replay to make sure he actually did what you thought he did.
Top 20 of all time? Please. There hasn't been anything in recent memory that i can think of that even deserves contention for that.
