March Madness may get the bulk of basketball fans' attention this month, but the NBA has given us some of this season's most absurd and straight-up disrespectful highlights in March.

Plenty of dunks, nasty crossovers, heat-check jumpers and even a player T'ing up a ref (oh yes, you read that right) happened in the last few weeks. Several of these plays are the kind that jolt you out of your seat the moment they happen.

The most disrespectful can be found here.

15. Chris Paul Hands Out a Technical Foul

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul was angry enough with an official earlier this month that he not only drew a technical foul, but he responded in kind.

With a perfectly placed camera, the Warriors broadcast caught the entire sequence, along with Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington strolling through the shot with his own request to T up the future Hall of Fame point guard.

Incredibly, this wasn't the only moment between Paul and a referee that warranted consideration this month. A few games later, Paul was ejected by Tony Brothers, whom he described as a "TikToker."

14. Vasilije Micić Drops Kevin Durant

Vasilije Micić has long been one of basketball's best showmen, but American fans didn't have much exposure to the 30-year-old former EuroLeague MVP.

This season is his first in the NBA, and he's had plenty of highlight passes and ball-handling moments. But none are quite on par with putting one of the greatest players of all time on the deck.

Off a broken play, Micić caught a pass in the corner, drove the baseline on Kevin Durant, dropped him with a behind-the-back right-to-left crossover, got Bradley Beal off his feet with a pump fake and then dropped in a layup.

13. Nikola Jokić Completes Two Go Routes

Nikola Jokić is starting to make this play routine. If you fall asleep for just a moment after scoring on the Denver Nuggets, he'll find someone down the floor for an open dunk.

Against the Utah Jazz, he did it twice in a matter of moments, showing no mercy in a game in which the Nuggets were already annihilating the sub-.500 Jazz.

Both times, as soon as he got the ball from the referee, he chucked it full court and perfectly on target to the end zone (or at least the goal line). Denver got wide-open jams for Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon out of the full-court dimes.

12. Victor Wembanyama Goes End-to-End

Victor Wembanyama does something seemingly every week that defies explanation.

Against the Memphis Grizzlies earlier in March, he had a standstill block that he kept inbounds and collected before starting a fast break with an outlet pass. He then sprinted to the other end of the floor, took off, caught a lob behind his body and threw it down.

The numbers alone have been bonkers for the 7'4" rookie. But highlights like this, where he's moving like NBA Street's Stretch Monroe, are phenomenal.

11. Andre Jackson Jr. Gets His Head Above the Rim

Perhaps more than anyone who was in the vicinity of this play, the biggest victim of Andre Jackson Jr.'s disrespect may well have been the rim.

The rim stands 10 feet off the floor. No one touches it on most possessions, even in the NBA. It isn't used to being cleared.

But earlier this month, Jackson exploded off the floor (maybe springboarded off a Sacramento King) and finished a follow dunk with his chest at the rim.

10. Domantas Sabonis Catches Brook Lopez... Twice

As a rim protector, Brook Lopez has plenty of experience with opponents trying to dunk on him. Plenty have been successful, but that doesn't mean he's stoked to have it happen.

One poster is bad enough, especially for a high-end defender like Lopez. But to be buried under the rim twice—much less by the same player—is a lot to take in a single game.

The first one came in the first quarter, in semi-transition. The second came just before halftime, when Domantas Sabonis got up and finished with even more ferocity than he showed during the first jam.

A double-helping of disrespect pushes this combo into the top 10.

9. Trayce Jackson-Davis Thrunks on Wemby

Like Brook Lopez, Victor Wembanyama is going to get caught on more than one occasion between now and the end of his career.

He's already the league leader in blocks per game, and some players will make it their personal mission to create posters with him on them.

Well, Golden State Warriors rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis already has one. He rose up for a lefty thrunk (when a player throws it in rather than truly dunking it) right in Wembanyama's face.

8. Anthony Edwards Seals a Win on Defense

Like Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards has rapidly developed into one of the league's most consistent highlight machines.

The most viral moments from him have typically been dunks. But against the Indiana Pacers, the disrespect was dealt on defense.

Edwards had the gall to miss a free throw on one end, keeping the Minnesota Timberwolves' lead at two points. That gave the Pacers some hope that they might be able to tie the game before the final buzzer sounded.

But as Indiana broke down the floor, Edwards stalked the play, timed his jump perfectly, hit his head on the rim and wiped out Aaron Nesmith's layup.

7. D'Angelo Russell's Heater

The Oklahoma City Thunder were probably already cooked. The Los Angeles Lakers were up 17 in the fourth quarter before D'Angelo Russell's personal 9-0 run started, but it truly put them away for the night.

These triples were far from your run-of-the-mill, open catch-and-shoot opportunities. All three of Russell's buckets were contested.

Honestly, that description doesn't even do justice to the defense on the first and third makes. The final one being preceded by LeBron insisting that he put it up made it even better.

6. Utah Jazz's Double-Oop

Early in a game against the Washington Wizards, Collin Sexton picked up a loose ball and broke the other way down the floor.

Around the three-point line, he tossed up a lob to Keyonte George. Instead of trying to score, the rookie had the wherewithal to notice Sexton cutting, change plans mid-jump and pass it off the glass.

Whether he was headed to the rim to rebound or finish a double-oop makes no difference. Sexton did indeed finish, and George made a point of telling the scorer's table that he intended to pass the ball.

5. Aaron Gordon's Tip Dunk

In a potential NBA Finals preview between the Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics, Aaron Gordon was stalking from the dunker's spot like a lion during a Nikola Jokić post-up.

Before Jokić even hoisted his hook shot toward the basket, Gordon started his break toward the rim. After the missed shot softly bounced past the front of the rim, Gordon caught it well below the basket with one hand. In one motion, he ferociously spiked it back into the basket.

The jump might not have been timed quite perfectly, but it didn't matter. In fact, the split-second difference only made the finish more spectacular.

Having it happen against the league's best team (at least by record and point differential) and during a win that moved Denver to 2-0 against Boston on the season didn't hurt its placement in these rankings.

4. Jalen Green Detonates on Anfernee Simons

It's hard to imagine many plays being more spectacular (or disrespectful) than Aaron Gordon's dunk, but it being fifth is a testament to the highlight quality from March in the NBA.

Jalen Green, who's been on an absolute tear in recent weeks, stole a pass at the top of the key from Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons. As if that wasn't bad enough, Simons was the only player back when Green got to the opposite basket.

Simons tried to contest the dunk attempt, but that only served to make the highlight more spectacular.

Simons hit the apex of his jump at about the time Green had the ball fully cocked behind his head. As Simons started to descend, Green floated and hammered it home.

3. Jalen Johnson Wipes Out Austin Reaves

The Atlanta Hawks went on to lose this game, but the first two points coming from a poster as emphatic as this is about as disrespectful as a game can start.

While the video of Jalen Johnson's dunk over Austin Reaves is good, the still photos might be even better.

When asked about the play after the game, Reaves simply told reporters, "You don't want my view."

2. Kyrie Irving's Lefty Game-Winner

This shot is outrageous.

In a tie game, with 2.8 seconds left on the clock, Kyrie Irving caught the inbound pass coming off a baseline screen. He took two off-hand dribbles toward the free-throw line, got to around the elbow and hoisted a floater over the outstretched arm of Nikola Jokić.

It softly dropped in, and the Dallas Mavericks beat the reigning champion Denver Nuggets.

All of that alone probably would've been enough to get on the list. But the right-handed Irving making a shot this difficult, and with this much pressure, with his left is unimaginable.

Few players (if any) would've even thought to use their off hand in this situation. Kyrie did, and it's not like the make was some kind of lucky bank-in or something. It was pure. It barely hit the back of the rim.

As ESPN's Ryan Ruocco declared after the game, it was "unforgettable ingenuity!"

1. Anthony Edwards Baptizes 'John the Baptist'

Turnabout is often fair play in the NBA. After years of dunking all over opponents (a habit that earned John Collins the nickname "John the Baptist"), Collins was on the receiving end of perhaps the highlight of the year earlier this month.

Collins and the Utah Jazz were mostly back on defense after turning the ball over, but they were scrambling, and Anthony Edwards took advantage. After catching a pass rom Nickeil Alexander-Walker around the free-throw line, Edwards gathered, took off from outside the restricted area and met the contesting Collins in midair.

The 6'4" guard's head was at least level with the rim when the 6'9" big man collided with him. From there, the unstoppable force beat the immovable object, thanks in large part to Edwards stretching toward the rim like Michael Jordan in Space Jam.

His hand didn't quite get to the rim, making this another thrunk for the list, but that did little to change the level of disrespect here.
