    All star break coming up. I think it would be fun to reminesce about top plays of the first half of the season. Then maybe somebody could put it in one of those ultimate highlights? Haha. I would but I don't have the capabilities.

    In any case my nominees are:

    1. TMac 3PT + 1 against Duncan in miracle comeback against Spurs.
    2. Yao one handed rebound straight back up for the dunk against T-Wolves
    3. Strickland offensive rebound touch pass to Yao for the dunk
    4. Bob Sura buzzer beating wild 3pt against Nets (the night he had 35 points)
    5. Deke PnR tomahawk jam over three Bulls recently

    can't think of any more right now.

    u left out the game winner vs. the Spurs? :p

    Other to consider:

    Tmac's tomahawk alley-hoop from Sura vs. the Warriors
    Padgett's buzzer beater vs. the Knicks

    every pass Sura does to Yao is a highlight for every YOF... :D

    1. That whole Rocket/T-Mac comeback sequence (1:00 in the 4th)
    2. Padgett game winning shot
    3. Yao one handed reb. and dunk


    I can't think of anything right now

    right on... Padgett buzzer beater. that's the one I forgot.

    those tomahawk jams from TMac are kind of routine.

    obviously the spurs game is number one, that whole minute should just count as one play.
    another one that comes to mind is that t-mac jam on the fast-break i think against denver. he took off from a pretty good distance and kind of faked in mid-air, it was nasty.

    edit: the same one da-glyde said. :)

    EVERYONE here should have a copy of the comeback on their computer.

    On a fast break, Andre Barret's drop pass in heavy traffic to a flying Yao for the dunk.

    Yao had a one-handed board against the Grizzlies when Gasol pinned his left arm down. Yao grabbed the board with his right palm and immediately dunked it on Gasol.

    McGrady's passes. Some are incredible. I like the one where he had it in his right hand, then went behind his back to his left hand and passed it to the right corner for a Jim Jackson three.

    Not only do I have a copy, but I watch it every day. And I still can't believe what T-Mac did. Easily the top highlight of the first half.

    Actually, I think the Andre Barrett assist to Yao happened in the same game (T-Mac's miraculous comeback against the Spurs).

    You reminded me about the comback, so I watched it again. Unreal. This has to be the highlight of the decade.

    I have this one on my pc somewhere against the raptors I'll try to make a yousendit if I find it. JJ's shot was called a two despite being clearly behind the line but the pass was sick.

    also the baseline 360 T-Mac had against the cavs (i think) was great
