21. Throat Shot
Dante Exum received a baptism of fire when he met Draymond Green for the first time. Exum was 19 when the Jazz met the notorious Golden State power forward. Green viciously caught Exum in the throat and forced him off the court. Exum spent the next few minutes vomiting in the locker room.

However, he returned to action and impressed everybody with his tenacity. Jazz coach Quin Snyder told the Herald Sun: “Nineteen and skinny doesn’t mean he’s not tough. I mean that. You’re going to have to knock him around pretty good for him to not come back in the game.”
