These are the best "shots" of April in the NBA. I have ranked them by "best picture" in reverse order. Anyone with additional ideas feel free to comment.
10. Rafer Alston, April 12th against Minnesota
 |
Griffin: I’m finally gonna get a block!
Blount: Ain't no way he’s skippin his lou outta this Alston (Skip to My Lou): (CHUCKLING) The net tickles. I got myself into one hell of a bind here. Can’t lay it in the hoop but I can sure as hell lay it in Griffin’s armpit. Marv Albert: Alston jams it home! What a Spec-tacular move by Rafer Alston! |
9. ZaZa Pachulia, April 15th against Milwaukee
 |
(When Pachulia gets on the break and no one is with him Ric Flair’s music/Space Odyssey theme starts playing in the arena)
NOTE: for those who do not know what this is, here’s a link to listen to it: Flair Theme It’ll become instantly obvious once you hear it. ZaZa: I’m gonna do it! I’m reaching for it! I’m gonna be the first European basketball player to dunk a basketball! Buck with Headband: he’s not trying to…oh boy. Buck near the 3-point arc: What’s he doing? ZaZa: (SUDDEN REALIZATION) Wait a minute. I’m on the way down. |
8. Kobe, April 6th against Denver
 |
Kobe: I got this one. Man, this rim sure looks tasty.
Camby: For the love of God, NOOOOOOOO! |
. Jamal Crawford, April 7th against Indiana
 |
Crawford: Why does Larry Brown always yell at me! Why doesn’t Starbury wanna hang out with me? Why am I about to miss this lay-up? Why do we always have to lose? WHYYYYYYY!
Pacer (TO HIMSELF) I was gonna swat it away but now I feel like I’d be taking candy from a baby. All these guys do is whine. When is this game gonna end . . . |
6. Referee “On the court I’m a” Dick Bavetta, April 17th in Toronto
 |
Raptor: There just in warm-ups and this crock’s already looking to T someone up. I’ll show him. (Grabs Dick)
Bavetta: AAAAAAAAHHH! It’s Godzilla and he’s really ticked off! He’s turned red. (IN HIS HEAD: kinda of like Rasheed Wallace whenever I…) Raptor: Gotcha! Oh look, a camera! Say cheese! Bavetta: I’m hugging someone! Nooooooooooooooo! |
5. Grim Reaper, April 8th in Utah
 |
Isn't this guy a little late?
Reaper: Hahaha. First I got Miles. Then I got Randolph. Blake, you’re next! or Guy in red shirt: (LOOKS UP) Whoa, I don’t wanna go yet! Reaper: I’m not after you! I’m after them (POINTS AT BLAZER BENCH). Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-ha-ha-ha! Guy in red shirt: Haven’t you looked at the standings? They’re already dead. Reaper: Dammit! Oh wait, isn’t that Howard Dean to my right? (LARGE GRIN) Exxxcellent! |
4. Dirk Nowitzki, April 7th against San Antonio
 |
Just look at his face. Nothing can add to that. |
3. Antonio Daniels, April 12th against Milwaukee
 |
Daniels: AAAHHHHHH! I got the ball! Oh my God! Oh my God! What do I do? UUUGH! If Arenas weren’t playing his stupid poker games.
Redd: (WHISPERS TO DANIELS) Hey playa ya think you can hook a brother up wit ya boy Spalding for just a sec. I promise I’ll give him back. Daniels: Just take it! Just take it! |
2. Rockets Dancer, April 15th in Houston
 |
This is just cool.
Girl: Yeah! What them other girls got on me now! Tsakalidis: Blah Blah Blah I sit on the bench and make millions Blah Blah Blah… Pros 70: Bro I don’t care. All I see are...panties! Pros 0: Wish I could dunk. Assistant Coach: Hmm. She thinks that’s special. I could do a 360 windmill back in the day. Guy with goatee and gray shirt: (WHISPERING TO HIMSELF) Oh yeah! She’s soooo hot. |
1. Allen Iverson, April 4th against Cleveland
 |
Varejao: How does it feel? Coach always said I had good hands.
A.I.: Ohhh yeaahhh, right there. Varejao: (TO HIMSELF) Whose got the answer now? Other Cavalier: Just relax while I gently touch your ball. Varejao: (TO HIMSELF) He’s finally letting it go. (TO OTHER GUY) Now, get the ball. Other Cavalier: I’m tappin it over to King James. Don’t worry about it. Varejao: (TO WEBBER) Would you like one next? |
