1. The Time When James Johnson Murked Steph Curry

You all had to know this would top my list.

In case you suffer from short term memory loss (and/or rage blackouts like Summer Roberts), here’s how it went down.

It was Tuesday, January 10, 2017. A moderate 57 degrees in Oakland, California. And things were just getting started in the Oracle Arena. The Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors were all tied up at 27-27, with a mere 5.1 seconds left in the first quarter.

Then, it happened. Perhaps the most beautiful dunk I’ve ever seen.

James Johnson inbounded the ball to Tyler Johnson, got it back and went racing towards Steph Curry.

Without. A. Single. Ounce. Of. Mercy.

Down went the Warrior and up flew Johnson, resulting in a powerful two-handed slam.

The golden boy never stood a chance against the blackbelt.

Johnson ended up finishing the evening with 14 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

Night night, baby.
