Hezonja is averaging 8 ppg on 40% shooting but also has two of the best dunks this season...

[the Sports ON Tap @thesportsontap]

You’ll never hear this sentence again...

But did Mario Hezonja just have the dunk of the year? 😳

[belowthebasket @belowthebasket]

@Tipsterrr Efficiency is definitely a problem but he takes a lot of threes which hurts overall fg%. Not a lot of players can drop 37 on 8/11 3PT either

[belowthebasket @belowthebasket]

Josh Richardson deserves more love for MIP

[belowthebasket @belowthebasket]

@Tipsterrr He’s averaging ~5 more ppg. Has had to create a lot more shots for himself. Been great on defense. I don’t think he deserves to win but should at least get some recognition

[belowthebasket @belowthebasket]

LeBron says he isn't chasing anything before his career is over.

[belowthebasket @belowthebasket]

Everybody saying Magic got robbed?? Gave up a late first and second along with a player that is averaging 7 ppg on 36% shooting for a high upside PG. Good deal for both sides

[Hoop Central @TheHoopCentral]
