Quite a season, wasn’t it? And within it, lots of plays happened. Some of which were very neat and/or meaningful.

So let’s go through 10 of these such plays, ranked in descending order of importance and impact.

Remember: These are factually ranked. You can feel free to dispute them, or say “how could you possibly forget [insert your personal favorite play]?” but if you do, just know you’ll be wrong. This is the definitive list.

(It’s not the definitive list. I most definitely forgot a couple good ones I’m sure.)

10. Russ burns the Rocky Mountains to the ground

Here’s the absolute best part of this dunk by Russell Westbrook: Enes Kanter runs away raising the roof for the “I Got Hops” thing from He Got Game.

And for good measure, he finished it off with two more dunks in the fourth quarter.

9. That pass

Steven Adams can dime. I think this was clocked at 400 miles per hour. Unofficially.

8. KD kills em

Julius Randle, you can go pick up your dignity now. It’s been laying on the court in OKC for the last few months.

7. Wait, what did you just do Russ?

Only Russ. Only him.

6. The Reaper

Underrated in this game-winner from KD: Serge Ibaka’s impressive block on Victor Oladipo.

5. And one point

The clincher in Game 5.

4. The return of Air Congo

Serge Ibaka flashed back to his youth with this dunk all over Festus Ezeli.

3. Hoooooollllllllly crap

This was from the second game of the season. It was incredible.

2. Adams puts it on Draymond’s Kiwis

If you go to ancestry.com right now, you’ll see that the last five generations of the Green family are now gone, Back to the Future style.

1. The scramble

I’m gonna remember this sequence for a long, long time. From Dion Waiters’ push-off, to the madness that ensued after it, to all the missed calls, to Steven Adams unreal defense, to Chris Webber ruining it all, to the Thunder somehow bouncing back from Game 1. Quite a thing.
