Dwade these days is more known for his famous "Brick jumpshot nosedive flail arms kick out legs " move

And he still outplayed Kobe Bryant in his own house...

No.1 - It was a joke and an obvious reference to his more and more frequent whining for the past two years
No.2 - That was prime Dwade. He doesn't even two-step that often anymore.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Lebron - Drive near the left side base line with Battier/allen in the left corner, attract their defender, and dish it out

I'm sure this is meant to be funny but its not that far from reality. And not just for Durant but a lot of stars. They will have plays late where they are specifically looking to try and get fouled. I would say Chris Paul tries to pull one of these out of his pocket in nearly every late clutch game, dive or shoulder into someone and hope to get to the line.

The old school method of officiating was actually to call less toward the end of the game and let the players decide it. Now it seems they are almost more afraid of their star entertainment being seen to fail in these moments, so put them at the line if their is the slightest excuse to give them a bailout.

“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Lebron Signature Momentum Killing 3(This is probably not a go to move, Just something he does quite often)

Carmelo and Durants are not signature moves, they are just stop and shoot. That's something everyone does just not as well as they do. That's why I said not just somebody hoisting a shot.The Duncan bank is a signature shot and one that I definitely should have included.

I don't think Melo's and Durant's moves are just stop and shoot. They use their pull up jumpshots differently and they add something that's unique to it, and it's why it's a signature move. Durant kinda has that dribble hesitation stutter step move before he pulls up for the shot. As for Melo, he uses the one-dribble pull up a lot which not a lot of players do. It's definitely a Melo signature move. (If not that, then the spin move at the post)

Here are examples of Melo's one-dribble pull up game-winners.
