GIF of the Week: Steve Smith '94
May 2 will forever be remembered as the day Damian Lillard coldly Brandon Roy'd the Rockets in Game 6 of 2014 NBA Playoffs, sending the Blazers to the second round in the first time since forever.
His post shot celebration was quintessential Lillard, which brings us to our subject for GIF of the Week.
Twenty years ago, the Miami Heat celebrated their first ever home Playoff victory. Our man Steve Smith, who lead the Heat with 25 points, demonstrated how best to celebrate a significant moment in franchise history:
Somebody, somewhere, still has that ball.

Who Blocked It Better? Shaquille O'Neal vs Steven Adams
The Steven Adams Game 6 Block Party produced a gem of a denial on an unsuspecting Tony Allen.
Similarily, at the end of the '93 season, Shaq added to his rookie highlight reel with a massive block on Googs.

It's a shame Zach Randolph won't be playing in Game 7.

Who Shot It Better? Kemba Walker vs Charles Barkley
In his final game as a Charlotte Bobcat, Kemba Walker went glass to himself from a step inside the three point line. He was able to finish in traffic much to the delight of those in attendance.

While Tracy McGrady will forever own this move, Charles Barkley may have claim to the longest in-game self-oop in league history. Moses wasn't open...
In addition, it wouldn't be right of us to ignore the 2014 NBA Sixth Man of the Year who has pulled this one out a number of times during his career.
