20. Ricky Rubio channels his inner MVP
The first highlight on our countdown is Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio taking it to the rack against MVP candidate James Harden. All Rubio needed was a slight hesitation move and behind-the-back dribble to get to the cup. Harden’s defense has improved, but he was no match for the sauce of Slick Ricky.

19. Donovan “Spida” Mitchell detonates
The next highlight on our countdown comes courtesy of Donovan Mitchell. His nickname is “Spida,” but on this dunk he sizzled and detonated like a bomb from the Green Goblin. Rodney McGruder tried to cut off any opening for a lob, but Mitchell would not be denied on the nice assist from Joe Ingles.
