NBA GIFs of the Week for April 24 Part 1

While the first round the 2015 playoffs has not been as competitive as us fans would have liked, there still have been a plethora of phenomenal plays. Here are the top 25. Part 2 includes the top 13.

The Rankings

25. Full Court Shots in Practice


Practice? We talkin' bout practice?
Yes, yes we are. I'm cheating a little since this isn't during a game.
LeBron from Downtown


Next, Dwight Howard

Then, Meyers Leonard



26. Josh Smith Save to Brewer


J-Smoove with a big save right into the shooting pocket of Corey Brewer who drains the 3.


27. Shaun Livingston No Look


Livingston threading the needle with the sweet no-look pass.


28. Curry No Look


Curry knows he has Barnes open under the basket but takes a dribble to divert Anthony Davis away from the rim and then drops a no-look dime. Pretty play from Steph.



29. Blake Griffin Alleyoop



All Jamal Crawford had to was throw it somewhere, anywhere near the rim. These alley-oops are routine for Blake. Just another day at the office.


30. Lob City Hustle and Ballmer Reaction


A very heady play by Blake Griffin to re-establish himself in bounds before touching the ball after the Chris Paul save. And then the Clippers getting it to CP quickly who blows by Boris Diaw. Clippers Owner Steve Ballmer is going nuts!


31. Jimmy Butler Hanging Block


The hangtime is insane. I know it's slow motion, but the ability to almost float in the air and then come down and smother Kris Middleton's shot is something else.


32. Blake Drive and Dunk


From that triple threat position, Blake is so lethal because he can utilize his speed against slower defenders to get to the rim. And Aron Baynes is a slow defender.


33. John Wall Block Ends First Quarter


Get that weak stuff outta here.


34. Kyrie Irving Handles



Uncle Drew with the killer crossover.


35. Jerryd Bayless Game-Winner


Great play from Jason Kidd here. Using Kris Middleton as a decoy lulled D. Rose to sleep and then the pass from Jared Dudley was on the money. Great win for Milwaukee but with that being said, can the Bucks win another game in this series? I don't think so. Bulls in 5.


36. Taj Gibson Dunk


Tajjjjj rocks the rim!


37. Jimmy Butler Drive and Dunk


I'm not sure who is more fired up, Jimmy Butler himself or Joakim Noah. That's a grown man move.
