Some guys need a point guard, others just need some glass.
Danilo Gallinari's self alley-oop is a clever yet effective play that I want to see attempted more often.

Plus, he was rumored to be dating Michelle Trachtenberg when he was back in New York, which is just funny in itself if you've ever seen Harriet the Spy.
Few would attempt this play down two in the fourth quarter. But Gallo is a fearless competitor—sometimes to a fault.
