Can some one post the crazy assist from Manu to Oberto while 3 opponents are around him? That's my favorite - only Manu would even attempt that.

[CakeorDeath]

Of course this one:

15 seconds in, Bird's over the head no look backwards bounce pass between players to McHale... is pretty much the bar for greatest passes IMO (as are many of Bird's passes -- he's the greatest passing SF)...

LeBron comes close tho and has done something similar twice:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBifw6Drloo the steal and no look pass...
& in a Finals game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLiim0a_S6E

^ that's my favorite type of pass. I'm a sucker for it every time I see it. you hardly ever see it.

Magic also of course had the dopest passing ability and like Oscar and Bron this style of passing is impressive because they aren't always, unlike Bird's, coming in helter skelter moments, they're happening in regular offensive sets in a controlled pace/scenario: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Dm0lZTqCc

Bird's style is "ill" (just tricks up his sleeve basically, on the fly awareness, just stuff that defies explanations other than "well he's just a sick player"), Magic's style is consistently brilliant.. the masterful result of years of practicing the craft... and here's LBJ with comparable brilliance in just one season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeTf2i22WAc + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X6Og8jyvUU

...

Ginobili also has underrated passing ability / is one of the best ever and that and his circus plays and dunks in his youth is what made the Spurs watchable...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XKEBgtngTo

Isiah Thomas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sgXA0qVu4M). One of my favorites.

Too much Nash to post.

This what I love about Bird is the way he kind of invented his own way of playing. The ability to find ways make plays in unpredictable and unguardable ways.

Magic though, the speed of his release and the velocity of the passes. The play is over before the defenders even know what's happening.

Seriously, wtf is this. If the defender didn't perfectly move his legs, this pass fails. He threw it before the guy's legs were open!!

Always liked this pass. Don't see why more teams/players don't use it.

Had he came to the NBA earlier and did not get hurt, he would've retired as the 3rd GOAT Center.

This pass by Gallinari is one of the best I've seen

If anyone could find his other fantastic assist for that season it would be great, he does that Italian "hand kiss" gesture after the dish

Just wanted to post that one, i'm always thinking about how i could try it in the game, but it would hardly succeed, maybe my pass wouldn't be so accurate and even if it would be on point, i doubt that the reciever would expect it and it would end up as a missunderstanding
