Dunks, spin moves, kisses of the glass; it is all here, so check these top 5 out, and get ready for more next week. Enjoy!

#5 MONTA ELLIS

Monta makes a ridiculous circus move to the lane, twisting, turning while burning his defenders.

#4 AMARE STOUDEMIRE

Amare is making 2009-10 his year to reemerge as one of the league’s most explosive big men. During this play, Amare reminds Joel Anthony that he is not.

#3 DERRICK ROSE

It’s ironic that a player who started the season questionable,due to a sprained ankle, can be breaking player’s ankles. Anderson Varejao should consider himself quite lucky he didn’t snap his on this play.

#2 RAJON RONDO

Rondo is not known for his shooting. Defenders challenge Rondo to take the shot in most cases. With the clock winding down, Rondo nails a shot that beats the drum of former Celtics great Larry Bird.

#1 SHANNON BROWN

Brown almost gave himself a new fade to his hairdo, using the rim! Shannon goes loose cannon while he chops Dallas into “Sallad”
