(April 12) -- Before revealing the Top 10 Plays of the 2018-19 season, here’s a look back at the names of players who delivered the No. 1 play over the last three years.

2016: Stephen Curry

2017: Russell Westbrook

2018: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Each of the past three belt holders are first-class superstars with preternatural talents. The accolades between them include 17 All-Star appearances, 14 All-NBA selections and four Kia MVPs.

The NBA’s best players simply make the best plays. With that in mind, the highlight of the year was bound to come from yet another elite talent, right?

Right.

Welcome, Jeremy Lamb.

Lamb’s half-court heave in Toronto follows up Giannis’ unreal dunk at Madison Square Garden, Westbrook’s insane buzzer-beater in Denver and Curry’s legendary game-winner in Oklahoma City as the latest Top Play of the Year.
