1. Giannis' eurostep
There are many players who've used the eurostep to great effect even before Giannis was drafted. Manu Ginobili would probably top that list as he got a ton of buckets with the move during his playing days with San Antonio. But when someone with the size, length, and athleticism of Giannis Antetokounmpo performs this move, it's game over for any defender.
2. Harden's stepback
You might think it's a travel but you're not an NBA referee and they say it's legal. James Harden has pushed the boundaries of NBA's rules and created a shot that's virtually impossible to guard. The separation he gets from his stepback is unmatched by any single crossover that any player can throw at a defender. Harden has perfected his signature shot en route to two straight 30 point seasons.
3. Curry's quick release three
There's no doubt about it: Steph Curry has changed the game. We're now in a three point shooting era and it's all thanks to Curry and his comrades in Golden State. Durant may have been the number one option for the Warriors these past few games but Curry's quick release long bombs are still feared by many in the league.
4. Jokic's no look passes
Nikola Jokic is probably the best center playing in the league right now and it's not because of his scoring. What sets The Joker apart from the other bigs in the league is his ability to make amazing passes both from inside the paint and from the top of the key. He's like a second point guard out there who can facilitate the offense and give his teammates opportunities to score.
5. Durant's stop and pop
We all keep talking about how tall point guards are becoming when all the talk should be focused on Durant who is effectively a 7-foot shooting guard. All of his shots are technically unguardable and it's bordering on unfair. But it's his stop and pop jumpers that really make his defenders look bad even when they play good defense.
