    So with that Bobby Jackson circus shot just now I had the thought where does that rank in my favorite plays for the Rockets so far this year. Well I don't know exactly where it ranks but two immediately pop into my head above that one.

    1. Battier buzzer (not technically but still) three to beat Lakers
    2. Landry rebound dunk facial on Duncan

    I know T-Mac has had some great acrobatic layups/dunks too but no specific ones come to mind (maybe because he does them with some regularity). Also the times during the Bulls game when Yao would get the ball and just turn and dunk despite the defender being right there (because my roommate is a Bulls fan and he would just turn to me and say "That's just not far"). The last one to come to mind was Deke's first block after Yao went down gave me a lot of excitement.

    So with that I open it to the floor. What has been the top play this year for you guys and what other ones deserve mention?

    Yeah that is definately way up there. Had forgotten about it. That's one reason why I created this thread; with so many games at this point so many great plays get forgotten and this will remind us of a lot of them.

    Novak has to be up there. But I think at number 2.

    Deke's blocks when Yao first went out. Or all of them, not just the first one. They were so inspiring...to me. I swear I would have made a 10 year old girl at a suprise birthday party ashamed...I was so giddy.

    Novak's buzzer beater is ruined by him completely spazzing out afterward.

    Jackson and Battier FTWs!

    I like all the ones people mentioned before and wanted to add a new one:

    T-Mac's dunk a couple of games ago (while the streak was alive) where he gives a weird Michael Jackson kick towards the crowd after the dunk! :D

    That was freaking cool.... :)
