4. Super Mario Hezonja denies King James

You might remember this play from March. If you do, you’d still have to double-check to see that it really happened.

If you don’t remember, then don’t be alarmed … the title is not a typo.

When the Los Angeles Lakers visited the New York Knicks last season, pretty much everybody knew it was bound to be a great game. The two biggest franchises in world basketball going head-to-head with LeBron James visiting Madison Square Garden. Chills.

The New York Knicks, down by 11 with 3½ minutes to go, mounted a great comeback, ultimately going on an 8-0 run to beat the Lakers and secure their 14th win of the season.

Mario Hezonja was one of the many guys responsible for this total team effort of a win, though the last play above might be enough to make him the Player of the Game.
