8.) Danny Green’s game-tying three against the Mavericks

After signing a two-year/$30 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers in the offseason, many Laker fans were eager to see what kind of impact Danny Green would have on the team and it didn’t take long for him to show us what he was capable of.

In only the fifth game of the season, the Lakers were in a close game against Luka Donic and the Dallas Mavericks, with the team down three with 6.4 seconds left on the clock. This was an important game, as it was against a tough team in the Mavericks, with a budding star in Doncic, whose playstyle is fairly similar to that of LeBron.

As James drove to the basket, he lasered a pass to a semi-open Danny Green in the corner, who calmly pump-faked a scrambling Seth Curry and nailed the game-tying 3-pointer to send the game into overtime.

The Lakers would go on to win that game 119-110, which extended their winning streak to four at the time. It was this game that Green gave Laker fans a taste of why he was worth his contract, as the veteran sharpshooter provided championship-caliber defense and shotmaking, as well as hitting the biggest shot of the game.

Even though this was still a relatively early game in the season, it was games like this that allowed the Lakers to get off to a hot start and claim a firm grasp on the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference that they have yet to relinquish.
