Make no mistake, the Wizards are terrible, but they still have a couple guys who can make the losing entertaining (at least for a while).

One is the guy who should have won the dunk contest last year, JaVale McGee, who had the monster slam you can see above. The ally-oop to himself. Which did not go over well with coach Flip Saunders, who benched McGee a couple minutes later and for most of the rest of the game.

John Wall also put on a little show with 38 points. Didn’t matter because the Rockets understand concepts of team execution lost on the Wizards and Houston won handily — but whose highlights are we showing? Isn’t that what really matters? No... I guess not.

Hat tip to SLAM and @outsidethenba.
