Time to celebrate. We have reached the midway point of the regular season, a perfect time to honor the best of the 2006-07 campaign to date. NBA.com's experts expound on their mid-season picks for the six major awards, as well as another eight "best of" categories.

Seven experts. Six different answers. There have been a lot of great moments so far this season, but trying to determine the Best Play is not a simple task.

Maurice Brooks:
Maybe it was the reckless abandon with which he attacked the rim, or the fact that he sent the defender sprawling to the ground. Regardless, when Sacramento's Ronnie Price yoked one on Utah's Carlos Boozer's mug, it brought back memories of my youth, playing NBA Jam on Sega Genesis.

Jeff Dengate:
Every now and then, somebody comes along to make the impossible seem ordinary. I don't care how many times you try this circus shot in your driveway, you'll never convince me that it was anything other than dumb luck that made the shot fall. Dwyane Wade, on the other hand, seems to hit enough shots like this to make something so spectacular seem common place.

Steve Nash wrap-around basket (Jason Terry) in Dallas Dec. 28. Precision, footwork, court awareness --- all on display and unfolding in a matter of seconds – on Nash's former turf.

Dave McMenamin:
It's late in the game and the Nets have battled back from an 18-point deficit to take a 3-point lead. A bucket would give New Jersey a little bit of breathing room. A miss, and their comeback could go all for naught. With all that on the line, naturally Jason Kidd goes in for a behind the head, no-look lay-up off the glass. "I felt if I drove, I would maybe suck someone in and find someone for an open 3," Kidd said. "No one came to me, so I was a little stuck. I just threw it up, hoping it would hit the rim and kill some time but it hit the backboard and went in." >> Watch it!

Rob Peterson:
You hear it all the time: "With 0.3 seconds on the clock, all they have time for is a tip in. You can't catch and shoot." And rarely does a team connect with such little time. But the Knicks' did it on Dec. 20 when David Lee went all Ralph Sampson on the Bobcats. Thanks to a pretty pass from Jamal Crawford, Lee got his right hand on the pass, tipped it over his head and through the hoop for the win, and all in the NBA equivalent of the blink of an eye: 0.1 seconds. A great end to a great game and the best play of the year. >> Watch it!

Chris Rosenbluth:
No single play has ever more clearly summarized one player's personality than lil' Nate Robinson stuffing The Great Wall of Yao. Nate doesn't care that he's barely scraping 5-foot-9. If you take it to the rack, he's going to try to send it back where it came from, whether you have him by two inches or two feet. >> Watch it!

John Schuhmann:
I'm not sure why David Lee's tip-in appeals to me so much. Maybe, it's because it took a perfect pass, perfect timing and a perfect flick of the wrist to pull off.
