It's difficult to pinpoint the best part of this play by Chicago Bulls shooting guard Jimmy Butler early in the fourth quarter of a 97-85 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.
First, there's the steal, which required great anticipation and quickness. Then there's the behind-the-back dribble move to get around Thunder point guard Derek Fisher, which was a thing of beauty.
Butler capped the highlight-reel play with a two-handed slam and some well-earned hang time on the rim:
