In this instance, James received a long outlet pass from Kyle Kuzma, which landed directly in front of the rim and took a beautiful bounce up to the front of the basket. James swiftly swooped in to catch the ball and rocked the rim with an intense reverse dunk.

15. Alex Caruso brings the house down on Kyle Korver

Many casual NBA fans might not even know who Alex Caruso is, but this highlight should definitely gain him some more exposure. In all honesty, Caruso doesn’t even look like a guy that is capable of throwing down a poster dunk. However, he did exactly that against the Utah Jazz.

When the lob pass was thrown into the air, Caruso rocketed into the air to slam home the dunk. This dunk surprised the entire arena, as well as Kyle Korver who was on the wrong end of this highlight play.
