No. 17: KD on Memphis
I don’t know what it is about playing for the OKC Thunder, but players just seem to have more buzzer-beating dunks there than just about anywhere else in the league. Russ has a few spectacular ones himself on this list, and going through the tape, I saw even more. This still happens on other teams sure, but it just seems to happen more with the Thunder.
Maybe it’s because they have Westbrook who will try to dunk anything he possibly can no matter the circumstance. Maybe it’s because Sam Presti has always had an affection for long athletes who can make those plays happen easier. EIther way, it adds a fun little wrinkle to the franchise and the way the team plays.
