NBA’s Top 10 Plays of the Night | April 20, 2024

[@loganhoward9606]

Joel's #1 play really sums up his career. Dominance and injury

[@cpataxpro]

He's a very, very large man and the impact levels from jumps take their toll. Remember Walton and Yao.

[@smanc]

Kelly Oubres confused look says it all

@mjm4ut males u wonder how Shaq lasted that long, ripping down rims and backboards. 😅

[@tarico4436]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

[@CristianScirzz]

Jokic casually playing NBA like it's a piece of cake 😅

[@cpataxpro]

He played the Lakers and AD like a violin ... 😲🎻

[@dasfx2895]

He knows it's his league now. Him, Luka.

[@austinjones9171]

I replayed that naz reid drive like 10 times. the handle and intuition is stunning. The way he just feels his way to the hoop. It’s like he’s crossing the dude up all the way from half court lol. and then being able to finish with the other defender there as well.. pretty crazy..

[@sijcecilio]

It’s so crazy because big guys don’t usually have handles and footwork like that. What a guy

[@valtearalte0657]

'the wizard of naz' as goatmentator would call it lol

[@Grawlix_Jungle]

The steal, the in-and-out dribble, the huge step-through gather, the slick reverse 🤌🤌. He does stuff like this often, as a Wolves fan it’s been a pleasure to watch

[@UlyssestheBrave]

Naz Reid

[@freddi9418]

Naz Reid

[@deequi77]

Nikola Jokic is like a puzzle that's hard to solve. He's the MVP

[@cpataxpro]

Pretty easy to solve: a) Eastern-European/Slavic strong genetics *plus* + b) 6'11" true center, 284 lbs, 7'3" wingspan, refrigerator build, has a modest vertical leap with extraordinary "Magic"-like passing skills that cover the entire court, on a high -quality team *equals* = MVP 🔥🔥🥇🔥🔥

[@rano2613]

Did Embid just pass to himself, dunk it and took out Embid out of the game?

[@Debubbleization]

typical embiid

[@user-on2zm6ek7p]

Nah he played after

[@rexxster1]

LOL Garland @2:26

[@bigmaccc155]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MetroGamba]

Lebron with the early vacation to cancun at number 8! 🔥🔥

[@cpataxpro]

Nope. You just don't know the NBA travel rules or you didn't use slo-mo. He "gathered" the ball on his left foot, then took two steps to come to a stop on his left foot as a planted "pivot foot" at which point the right foot becomes irrelevant. Perfectly legal in the NBA.

[@robglobal1]

Slowed it down caus of the clown that commented on your comment and Lebron clearly traveled.

[@MetroGamba]

@@robglobal1 even after he had "gathered" the ball in both hands he took 3 steps

[@spyroskaziannis788]

If it wasn't a travel by modern day rules, I have to give up watching NBA basketball and start watching Dagestani basketball from khabibs UFC training partners. It's equal amount of traveling and at the same time more physical.

[@cpataxpro]

@@spyroskaziannis788 You might want to consider the numerous benefits of the new NBA rules including: less whistles, more action, more excitement, more threes, more dunks, more wind-up dunks, the Harden step-back three, the LeBron/Giannis spin move down the lane, more threes from the corner due to feet resets, more exciting handles (dribbles), more exciting passes, higher scoring, more fans, more viewers, more fun). Or not.

[@user-no8zq3yt4e]

How many steps did bron take before making the 3 for number 9

[@blkbd4984]

3+1. Refs don't call that anymore in today's nba

[@neizuzu]

5

[@MuhammedAliBALABAN]

He did not touch the ball before the pull up, he secured without touching

[@cpataxpro]

He took the allowable gather step plus the two allowable additional steps. You should read the NBA travel rules and use the video slo-mo feature (use the gear icon) to review the play. He "gathered" the ball on his left foot, then took two steps to come to a stop on his left foot as a planted "pivot foot" at which point the right foot becomes irrelevant. Perfectly legal in the NBA.

[@Em4gdn1m]

2 steps. He took two steps after gathering the ball. Completely legal.

[@harderway8568]

I love how Lwbron made four steps before that 3pt shot.

[@cpataxpro]

No, you are just not counting correctly. He took the allowable three steps. and it was not a travel. You just don't know the NBA travel rules or you didn't use slo-mo to review the play (use the gear icon). He "gathered" the ball on his left foot, then took two steps to come to a stop on his left foot as a planted "pivot foot" at which point the right foot becomes irrelevant. Perfectly legal in the NBA.

[@davidd.6004]

Jalen Suggs at #4; "where we always get up off the floor". Someone needed to say it. "Where have you gone, Goatmentator Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you Woo, woo, woo." 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@theFlowStateStudio]

Lakers really got my hopes up in that first half 😥 Denver too good

[@cpataxpro]

Or are the Lakers too bad ... DLo couldn't hit a shot to save his life, they ignored AR who shoots the best percentage, they ignored hitting open teammates (who needs teamates?), silly DLo and LBJ turnovers, Lebron inbounding to Rui for the half-court turnover instead of his streaking point guard, LBJ and AD team up for multiple misses 1 foot under the basket. Bron goes stumbling awkwardly out of bounds (not the first time) driving in clutch time .... sigh ... don't get me started. 🤦🏻‍♂

[@MaximusR93]

Great slate of games

[@Bilbo_361]

Bcos it's the playoffs 😂

[@dasfx2895]

Playoff basketball woooh

[@dustcake2576]

Embiid the only guy who can twist an ankle without actually twisting an ankle..

[@AirRusher1992]

Caris LeVert is a Jordan-esque type finish at #3.

[@AirRusher1992]

Thanks very much to this calm commentator as always. Cool, smooth and calm.

[@Citylife_90]

joel getting hurt for the number 1 play of the night 😂 every time playoffs come around

[@fourtime7]

[@iroulis]

Even when the Sixers lose, they get more coverage than the Knicks.

[@fourtime7]

@@iroulis nope. I live in NYC.

[@KWAPT]

Reid play should be number 1. A guy who’s 7+ feet tossing it off the glass just isn’t that impressive to me. Now a 6’10” 260 lb dude with THOSE handles and footwork? That’s fcking impressive.

[@imfinishedgrinding638]

#8 Impressive 3 pointer from the King but that was a blatant missed travelling call.

[@cpataxpro]

No, it was neither blatent nor a travel since he took the allowable three steps. You just don't know the NBA travel rules and didn't use slo-mo to review the play (use the gear icon). He "gathered" the ball on his left foot, then took two steps to come to a stop on his left foot as a planted "pivot foot" at which point the right foot becomes irrelevant. He is then allowed to jump off the pivot foot and the non-pivot foot. Perfectly legal in the NBA.

[@imfinishedgrinding638]

He didn't dribble the ball once after getting the pass dude. He took 4 steps and shot the deep 3. You telling me my eyes are deceiving me? I'm just being critical of refs not calling obvious travels. I don't like Lebron all that much but I hate the lazy refs even more.

[@robglobal1]

​@@cpataxprokeep trying😂

[@robglobal1]

​@@imfinishedgrinding638it was a clear travel.

[@cpataxpro]

@@imfinishedgrinding638 You didn't read the MBA rules. you didn't use the video slo-mo feature to watch the play (use the gear icon), and you didn't count the steps correctly. Step one he gathers on the left, step two is the right foot, and step three he plants the left as his pivot foot. Those are the three (3) steps allowed per the NBA travel rules as revised in 2019. Not a travel.

[@cheeseburger8167]

Year 21 and still chasing blocks? Damn LeBron. Denver is just a complete team.

[@gameyee8251]

embiid making to top 1 plays just to get injured😅, hope its not serious its sucks to be a sixers fan.

Hey, he made the effor to play hurt and get them into the playoffs. Be proud. 💯

[@AlanGurling]

Not the biggest fan of Embiid, but I honestly hope the big guy becomes healthy.

[@binka21]

It looked like Embed traveled before he threw the ball off the backboard.

[@cpataxpro]

Nope. Read the NBA rules on use of the pivot foot. He can step with the non-pivot foot and raise the pivot foot as long as he releases the ball before the pivot foot comes back down.

[@thetramp123]

He also fouls OG since it's technically a rebound and he's going over the back for it.

[@cpataxpro]

@thetramp123 I believe it's technically a pass to himself?

[@allenalmajose1802]

Props to paolo, that looks like an injury if he falls over lavert

I like how the top play looks like it's an injury lmao

[@absolplays7953]

It was

[@cpataxpro]

It was. Embid's been playing hurt since shortly before end of season to ensure the playoffs. Also, you might notice that he is a very big man .. ankles have a hard time with that landing impact off balance or otherwise. 😢

[@gerardvermaat6944]

Jokic not being that vertical is a huge advantage in regard to injury prevention.

[@cpataxpro]

@gerardvermaat6944 now THAT is the most intelligent, observant fact I've seen on this site in months. 💯

[@sebby2350]

hope Jamal Murray joins the next NBA all star. that guy deserved it🙂

Yeah. I felt he should have made it this year too. He was balling out before the All Star Break and been pretty good all season when he's healthy.🙂

Why is there a rule for travelling if you don’t respect it even in such an obvious one? Carrying the ball, taking 4 steps before the shot and not being called… It kills the game

Them wolves look majestic in white. Can't wait for them the face the nuggets that's my personal final

[@AisuruMirai]

"Yes, Embiid would go down hard, but not after pulling off this maneuver." It WAS after. He didn't fall to the floor in pain and THEN do an alley-oop to himself.

[@absolplays7953]

Ya he meant “but not before”

[@kresostarcevic3805]

Lebron is still walking😂😂😂

[@cpataxpro]

Nope, it was not a travel. You just don't know the NBA travel rules or you didn't use slo-mo to review the play (use the gear icon). He "gathered" the ball on his left foot, then took two steps to come to a stop on his left foot as a planted "pivot foot" at which point the right foot becomes irrelevant. Perfectly legal in the NBA.

[@robglobal1]

They don't bother to call Lebron for traveling hardly ever. What a disgrace the league has become. He constantly gets away with charges, travels, flops and even gets rewarded instead of penalized.

[@cpataxpro]

The disgrace is when you make these comments out of ignorance. It was not a travel since he took the allowable three steps. You either don't know the NBA travel rules or you didn't use slo-mo to review the play (use the gear icon). He "gathered" the ball on his left foot, then took two steps to come to a stop on his left foot as a planted "pivot foot" at which point the right foot becomes irrelevant. He is then allowed to jump off the pivot foot and the non-pivot foot. Perfectly legal in the NBA. Read. The. Rules.

[@monicoocta1957]

TWolves at 6!!💪🔥

[@MadOnion78]

Lebrons shot was a big travel. 5 steps to take a shot in movement is travelling. Why can't they call that a travel. He does that all the time. Make it like in Europe. 2 steps..... no more fake lay out/dunk from the 3 point line
