5. A scoop of old-school Vince Carter
At age 38, Vince Carter can still pull one out. This is something out of Dr. J's playbook. Incidentally, remember when Vince wanted to make Dr. J the general manager of the Toronto Raptors? Eh, nevermind.
4. Norris Cole to Anthony Davis
Up high and down hard, to quote Kevin Harlan.
3. Russ buzzer-beater
It's still Russell Westbrook's world, we just live in it.
2. Curry toys with the Clippers
Ball handling will feature prominently in the final two highlights. Here, Stephen Curry makes Chris Paul and Spencer Hawes look like extras in a low-budget movie.
1. Kyrie Irving beats the Spurs
