1. “Parachuting in Reggie Jackson!”

Coming in with the top play is the emphatic throw-down by Reggie Jackson to close out the quarter in last years playoffs. Reggie had no problem punishing the rim on this play.

Reggie has been a Piston for quite so time now, and our leading floor general as well. Reggie is not shy of the spot light, and not afraid to make highlight reel plays either. Whether its breaking an opposing players ankles with a deadly crossover, tossing a lob to Drummond or throwing down a nasty dunk of his own.

This play, coming in at number one on our list was huge. The atmosphere, playoff basketball, Jackson came to play. With the clock winding down at the half in the series-deciding playoff game against the Bucks, Reggie brought out some very famiiar heroics.

On this play Jackson brings the ball up the court on a play that was supposed to deliver three points from a curling Langston Galloway, he missed, and guess who was there for the clean up to have his teammates back? Reggie Jackson himself. “Parachuting in”, for the emphatic put back to give the Pistons the lead at the half against the surging number one seeded Bucks.

The one positive to take away from this play is that Jackson, who has struggled with a plethora of injuries, still seemed to have his bounce that late into the season, although his heroics were not enough to carry the Pistons on to win that game, he showed he still had some in the tank, after playing all 82 games to end the season as well.
