It's time to pick the national play of the year in high school boys basketball.

We've taken our 12 weekly winners and compiled them into one big highlight reel.

Check out the video above and vote in the poll below to choose the best of the best from the winter 2022-23 season.

The voting will conclude Thursday, April 27, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.
