Honorable Mentions

After going through every game of the regular season, there were way too many beautiful assists, monster blocks and ridiculous ‘gyro-step’ dunks to leave out. Here are some of the best Giannis plays that didn’t make the top 5, but deserve an honorable mention.

For most players in the league, this would be the best play of their season. Not for Giannis.

Not only is Giannis great at running the fast-break, he’s also one of the best players in the league at defending it. He’s becoming a master of the chase-down block. This is just one of many this season.

This reverse windmill was probably Giannis’ most creative dunk of the season. I’m still waiting on a ‘360 gyro-Step’ though.

Explosive hustle gets buckets. He came out of nowhere.
