For fun and good vibes, which you could never have enough.

Which is why I didn't make the distinction - just "dunks/plays/moments/games" or anything else.

I truly can't decide which one's best. How 'bout you?

DUNKS

The dunks on Al Jefferson and Bosh I think are fairly obvious as far as dunks go. Not that I don't like those, at all, but some of his other slams are just so overshadowed...

Preseason vs. Knicks so you may not count it but...wow. Extension. I think the fact that he basically dunked AROUND 2 defenders under basket made it spectacular.

It's almost a splitting image to the Al Jefferson dunk but with less traffic, he was able to unleash even more of his athleticism.

Mike's reaction was also priceless.

Two different Jeff Green plays again showcasing his athleticism in different ways.

The Lakers play gets points for being such a great moment (at home, one of the final games of the "Celtics-Lakers-2007-2013 era", heart and blood and adversity and sweat and tears of the Celtic era embodied in this game, and of course the Lakers getting smashed). And that's just the context. Hustle and raw athleticism on full display there. Oh, and a Pierce 3 to cap it all off.

The spin dunk doesn't have quite the context of the Lakers play but that's good Jeff Green right there. The ability to absorb the contact with so little gather after spinning away from the defender ...AND DUNK...is unfair.

Like I said in the description. Freaking skywalking.



"Honorable mentions" - it's like I'm a kid in a candy store. Being here truly does not make these dunks any less good.

One dribble drive! There's good JG again. Plus it's pretty sweet to see JO get killed after snagging so much dough from the Celtics organization (I know it's Ainge's fault but, man, JO just frustrated me so much).

This game was the definition of a garbage game. Felt more like an exhibition game. But that the definition of a poster.


CLUTCH
JG's actually quite clutch. Again, his clutch plays are overshadowed by the big ones - namely the game winner in Indiana and Cleveland.

I missed a lot of this game. But fortunately, I got to see the best parts.

I don't think JG showed up until the 4th. When he did, he showed up big. Basically saved us. Hit a game tying bucket. Numerous clutch shots when the offense failed (as usual).

I'd say this was one of the coming out games for JG. Might be revisionist history but I reject your reality and substitute my own!




Apart from those, he's hit so many buzzer beating prayers, seemingly at an exceptionally high clip. But those three were huge plays.

DEFENSE

http://youtu.be/watch?v=yNog63olbSg (JG slows LeBron to almost a halt)

Whenever JG shows his potential, I get so happy. He seems like such a good guy and I personally can't help but root for him. Pitched against one of the best, JG did not back down. Keep playing that D and grabbing boards, Jeff!

GAMES

http://youtu.be/azdWGIFAK3w (Game 3 vs. Knicks)

This game was the one where he did the "skywalker" dunk mentioned earlier.

JG scored in such a huge variety of ways. I love that he used his left hand so much but also love the aggressiveness on display. An underrated game imo.

http://youtu.be/b-zkrsmCtTY (JG vs. Suns)

Jeff's anniversary game. Feel good game right here. KG RAN POINT. The two back to back dunks against the Suns was from this game.

http://youtu.be/Pf3c6fyjHEE (JG's career high)

Coming out party by JG. Missed the game but felt real good following the box score, despite the outcome. Just feels great, man!

Great collection of links. I am super-excited for JG this season.
