It is one thing to do that in practice.. but then to do it in a game too? Crazy. I'd love to see that from a different angle though. From the player that looks to be receiving the pass.

One of the GOAT passes right there :applause: And that footage's in slow-mo, he was pulling that shit speeding on a fastbreak :bowdown:

Pistol Pete has some of the best passing skills ever... I'm talking about the fundamentals, the creativity and the ability to pull what he wanted in most situations:

If he looked for his own shot considerably less and even if he toned down on all the hotdogging... He would've been leading the league in assists and such.
Auerbach called him the best passer in the NBA, in the 70's.

Hurt him that he was just too flashy for his own good, that he couldn't find the right balance between scoring and passing, that he played for the fans more than anything else, that he was overdoing it most of the time, so on... No matter what the reasons were.

Dude would've easily been better suited for today's game though...
Nowadays flashy-basketball and showing-off is way more welcomed, players are more receptive to flashy passes, there's no handchecking in play, much looser dribbling "rules", guard-oriented league, 3pt-line and big emphasis on the 3pt-shot...
