Harrison Barnes shines in first NBA postseason
Posted Apr 28, 2013
It remains to be seen if Warriors forward Harrison Barnes will be named to the NBA's All-Rookie first team. It's too close to call. What isn't too close to call is who the best rookie in the first round of the NBA playoffs is. It's Barnes, and it's a two-handed, reverse slam dunk from every angle you look -- minutes, points, defense, and with that unforgettable high-flying Game 2 backward slam, dramatics.
