It's late in a hotly contested conference game. Meaningful positions in the standings are on the line. The lead has gone back and forth, the fans are going bananas, and it's still all left to play for. The ball rotates to a wing, and a skilled and driven young man sees a crack in the rotating defense. He puts the ball on the deck and attacks. As he flies towards the rim and commits his momentum to a shot attempt, a secondary defender comes over.
