3. Marc Gasol “McGregor Walk”

The Memphis Grizzlies buried the Los Angeles Clippers on national television, powered by a Marc Gasol go-ahead three.

What garnered more headlines, however, was his three-point celebration.

Marc Gasol’s newfound three-point game has been a revelation. Furthermore, this shot was the signature moment for his new weapon.

Gasol’s “Spanish McGregor” sequence reminded the league that the Grizzlies are still a quality playoff team.

That night, Mike Conley scored 30 points and drained seven-of-nine triples. The “Spanish McGregor” tallied 26 points and connected on four-of-five three-pointers.
