I’ve seen a lot of Top-10 countdowns where that exact same play happened and it didn’t end well for the guy under the basket.
OAKLAND –- Warriors general manager Bob Myers walked past Festus Ezeli in the victorious postgame locker room and stopped long enough to express satisfaction.
“That might be my favorite play of the year,” Myers said. “I’m serious.”
The play – The Block – came with 9:07 left in the first quarter of the Warriors’ 112-108 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Clippers star Blake Griffin, coming out of a pick-and-roll, gathered a bounce pass from point guard Chris Paul and went airborne with the ball palmed high over his head.
