Welcome to Nightly Pro Notables: a collection of the hottest sneakers and biggest moments of the night on August 7, 2020.
This day was light on the epic performances but did see the unveiling of Joel Embiid’s Under Armour signature sneaker. We also got some wild buzzer beaters and dunks, as you can see below.
PRO HIGHLIGHTS

Chris Paul came with his vintage dramatics on this play, stealing the ball with seconds left before sinking the buzzer beating 3 for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Jaylen Throws a DIME
Jaylen Brown’s court vision was on full display on this play. The Celtics guard somehow threaded the needle perfectly from 3/4 court between three Raptors to Gordon Hayward for the easy two.

Jaxson Hayes’ Power Slam
