NBA Preseason Top 10s

In anticipation of the NBA tipping off tomorrow (!!!!), I bring you the NBA's Top 10 dunks, blocks, assists, and steals of the preseason.

Top 10 Dunks

10. Sweet fast break dunk by Sonny Weems.
9. Kevin Durant looking like a viscious version of Clyde Drexler, "cockin' the hammer, and pullin' the trigger."
8. I haven't seen much of the Hawks' center Randolph Morris, but he got absolutely worked by Dwight Howard on that one.
7. You've seen this one on Dank Game before. What impresses me most is Gerald Wallace's crossover on who I believe is Julian Wright.
6. AK47 gets abused by the Bulls' rookie out of USC, Taj Gibson. The Bulls have some seemingly promising rookies in Gibson and Wake Forrest's James Johnson. I'm a little worried about them taking minutes from Tyrus Thomas, though.
5. A nice backdoor cut and dunk by Rondo, but it really doesn't deserve to be at number 5. It probably doesn't even deserve to be on this list.
4. Sick oop from Mike Bibby to Josh Smith, but that announcer yelling "JJJJJJJJJJJJJJ-SMOOOOOOOOOOTH!!!" is probably the most annoying thing I've ever heard.
3. Amazing dunk by Shannon Brown. This guy had better be in the Slam Dunk Contest this All-Star Break. I don't understand how this dunk by Shannon Brown isn't on this list.
2. Wait, who is Josh McRoberts?
1. Nenê just completely destroys this dude on the Serbian team Partizan Belgrade. Unless Greg Oden or Andrew Bynum have huge breakout seasons, Nenê had better be the West's starting center in the All-Star Game. Actually, Al Jefferson could get the nod as well.

Top 10 Blocks

10. LeBron swats shots with such anger.
9. Chris Douglas-Roberts seriously gets up on this block on Iguodala. I love me some two-handed blocks.
8. Sheed with some great transition defense. Not sure if this is top 10 worthy, though.
7. This Nicolas Batum dude seems to be pretty soild.
6. Mikki Moore is not good. Not to take any credit away from Sean May, who looks to be in good shape compared to his days in Charlotte.
5. Apparently the NBA forgot to include a block at #5.
4. Pops Mensah-Bonsu had his moments last season with the Raptors during their abysmal season. He got a little revenge on that block. BTW, his name means King (Nana) Father (Papa) Thursday Born (Yaw) Three (Mensah) Whale (Bonsu) in Ghanaian, apparently because one of his ancestors slayed a whale.
3. Great block by the other rookie on the Bulls I had mentioned, James Johnson.
2. This block by the Pistons' rookie Austin Daye is reminiscient of the greatest block in Pistons history.
1. You've seen this here before. Just too nasty for words to describe.

Top 10 Assists

10. Great look by Al Harrington.
9. Apparently White Chocolate's still got something left in the tank.
8. I'm loving this no-look transition pass by the Nets' rookie Terrence Williams to Courtney Lee.
7. Nice overhead pass by K-Mart to 'Melo.
6. After nearly throwing it away, D-Wade recovers for the no-look dish to J.O. for the dunk. As much as I want Beasley to start at power forward over Haslem, I've got to point out how Halsem makes one of those plays that doesn't show up in the box score, which he often does. Wade's deflected pass was intended for Haslem, who automatically sets a screen once he recognizes that Wade recovered the ball. It's situations like these where Beasley often lacks the awareness to make little, important plays.
5. Another great oop to Josh Smith, this time from Joe Johnson. And again, that announcer yelling J-Smooth is annoying as hell.
4. Good set-up by Jared Dudley, but I think he gets a little too excited after the dunk.
3. Andre Iguodala threads the needle nicely here.
2. We'll probably be seeing a lot of that this season.
1. Dank Game readers might recall this through-the-legs pass by Kobe.

Top 10 Steals

10. Nice steal and pass from the Warriors' rookie Stephen Curry.
9. LeBron doing what he does best, despite the lack of a dunk.
8. Little Nate Robinson taking it all the way after the steal.
7. Great steal and an even better pass by Mike Taylor. That whole sequence by Taylor seriously blows my mind.
6. Ray Allen straight took that shit.
5. LeBron again, this time with a dunk to finish.
4. More "J-Smooth"
3. Heat fans are hoping to see more of this from Mario Chalmers.
2. The oop from Matt Barnes to Vince Carter is clearly more impressive than the steal.
1. Coming from a Heat fan, I don't know why this is at #1. As far as I'm concerned, Mike Taylor's steal and pass at #7 should be #1.
