In this day and age, it’s hard to get excited about an NBA highlight that isn’t either: a) a vicious, posterizing dunk or b) Stephen Curry absolutely raining threes from 29 feet out. Allow me to submit a third option, having watched highlights of Chris Paul and Isaiah Thomas go at each other in last night’s Clippers-Celtics OT thriller: that is, highlights of Chris Paul and Isaiah Thomas going at each other. Point guard battle!
You may not think much of a 4+ minute highlight reel of mid-range jumpers and lay-ups, but believe me — this duel was incredible.
