The Most Beautiful Passes Of The Last 10 Years

I am a fan of Golden Hoops. Merrill comes out of the pack, Harden throws it ahead. Oh, and he throws it down! What a pass from Harden! And Mogley with the finish! There are five players in NBA history that can throw this type of pass with that type of finish. Those passes, they dump themselves. That's up from the other free throw line. From that deep, on the money perfect. Game one in overtime. Jazz trying to even the series. Mitchell down the lane with a kick out. Catch and shoot three. They've made five straight threes. That is just Mitchell getting all the... Dunleavy. Are you serious? Where does he have the extra eyeballs? Dunleavy for three more. I didn't see that angle. I didn't either. The lead goes up to 19. Curry with the steal. It's a four-on-one. Oh, diving up the guitar! Showtime! Lines it up. Towns crashing in. What a pass from Bridges! Cumberland to the Towns with the dive of the season. And another timeout from Toronto. Unbelievable. It's a 24-4 Nick run. And this one's going to be seen. What a vision. Off to the races. What do you get? Good save by Oladipo. Wall on a dead run. Wall behind the back and over the shoulder. Oh, what a play from Wall. Now it's Rondo numbers. Rondo! You don't like that. You don't like NBA basketball. I'm going to pull the trigger before your eyes get back to me. Nice poke away from behind. Three on two. Behind the back. Guzelis with the lefty lay. Off the beautiful feed from Kawamura. To Crowder. Oh! This is what you wanted. He carves out the game for the shot clock. Oh, great no-look decision. She puts it home. How about the 15th round for Detroit? I lived up to that mark. Three-two defenders. Oh, nice. Porzingis from Hardaway. A great drive. A fantastic pass. All right. He points in 13 minutes. Hero for Kalen. Oh, from the tippy-top of Mount Kalen. He came crashing down. I love the sound. Aiden to feed up the floor to James. Bullet feed. Hachimura puts it down. Wow. The ball is hopping. That pass by LeBron James. I mean, this guy, the ultimate. Think about that. Yeah. That's a long, long time. P.S. Matisse thigh ball hits the three. The sixer is a good three-point shooting night. Simons will speed out of backcourt. Looking to cut between defenders. He got stood up. And a rack. Curry. A spin. Pass. On a wraparound maneuver. Years against Miami. Birdman. No. Here comes Rickey leading the charge. The no-look for Bennett. And the throw-to-arm from A.B.A. You kicked me with that pass. The no-look right there. And the timing of the pass. That's a near-impossible shot. And then the Brandon Needle by Russell Westbrook. I think I'm falling in. Lakers taking full advantage. Crazy big one. Oh! What a pass. No-look. Look away. Take eight to score. Whoa. Look at just showcase that. Loses it. Walking the tightrope. Oh. Blake Griffin. Razzle-dazzle. Oh-ho. Next level. Kevin Durant. The rack attack. And one of the highlights of the year. This is for Halliburton. We know what he did in Las Vegas. Now he goes behind the back. Turner for three. Oh-ho-ho. Man, they'll love that. That's a show there. Now to Walt. Walt. Swings it out to Sadiq Bae. Defended in the corner. Woo! Sadiq Bae! And a long rebound. Taken by Kevin Porter Jr. Push that. Give it back to Jokic. And over the shoulder. No-look. How do I get my teammates to basketball in open positions? Magic score at the buzzer. Home run pass from Jalen Sons. Touchdown. Jokic with seven to shoot. Guarded by Aldama. Going behind the back to Watson. Against the Celtics. Oh! What a pass! You've got to score! And he does! Won't see a better pass tonight than that one by Lavello. O'Hero nearly turned it over. And Huck has saved it. Got it to come. Smashed it home. 115 ducks for the Heat skyscraper. That's it. The slender rim. On the catch. Quick closeout. He's quite set up for the splash. That was it. Here's Curry. With a high bounce pass. No! Missed it up. Oh! Selden. Knocked away. Emerson! Saves it. Loops it. Oh! Valdez! Valdez with the dunk! You see the reaction there. This team's desperately needed a smile. One-on-one with Mankiewicz. Oh! Unbelievable. That is truly unbelievable. Put it somewhere. He's into the paint. Ramps it around. Somehow found Murray for three. And the Wizards take a timeout. How did you find him, Trey? My goodness! Has only lost two. Good play by Luka. Here he goes! What a play by Luka. There's the anticipation. Right between the legs of Kevin Loving and the lob to Jackson Hayes. What a sequence by Luka. Just remarkable. Oh! Just like they drew it up! You take a look at what understanding. LeBron knew where Wade was before that even happened. He knew exactly where it was. Be careful here, these guys. This is the floor pass to Lopez. And Lopez dunks it to the second left. What a great throw by Giannis. The length of the court. In and out. Look at that. Rajon Rondo. Bellinelli. Oh, boy. How about Rondo sneaking in there for the rebound. No look inside to Williams. And he landed it and he's fouled! No thunderous dunks necessary for Dean Will. He's at two at the rib. This was exquisite. Because he had... Oh! You can go home. Can you go home? Oh, he got you. That's right. Awesome. Stomping on a dime and leaving nine cents. Lovello. The rip away. Clean air. Fouled! How about that? We got guys who play to the media. Oh, and a pass! A pass from Taton and Williams with the finish. That was sensational. That's the ESPN top play of the day right there. Just raising his arms up in disbelief quickly with the steal. Great to Scottie. Oh! Sunday. Walked through the park. Did you guys see that foul? I'm still amazed how good the player is. Again, Brook gets a block. Brook Lopez with three blocks here tonight. But the Bulls still have it. Kobe White dribbles it from the corner. Yeah, that's a little bit scary because that's multiple efforts from Chicago. Great effort by Brook. Adetokunbo with the size on Redick. Threw it behind his head to Snell who hits the three. And there's the triple-double for Giannis Adetokunbo. Grumman gets his second shot blocked on Jackson. Griffin alertly tapping it up ahead to the streaking Grumman. Smart. Picked up by Leonard. Gets around him. Loses the ball. Seeds it to Ronnie! Oh my goodness! What a break for Memphis! Leonard. Brook straight away. The crowd was ready to erupt there. Connick Gillespie with a near steal. He does. Good one. Inside! Oh! The left feet! The trigger man! Except the players in the white uniforms. What a heck of a play by Connick. To rebound and initiate the offense and make a play. Oh, what a pass. James over the head with the left hand to the corner as he's falling out of bounds. And Green pays it off from three-point range. The other way. Just over three minutes gone by here in the second. Around another. That's a third steal by Andadala. What a pass! And a lead. Backs it home the other way. Andre Andadala, sensational. Stroke it with size. Left-handed. Cross-court pass. Sets up Andre! Oh, he missed that Lavello. Yeah. The look-away as well. Oh, we could see the look-away until the... The second minute's biggest problem had been their defense. And Draymond Green helps them so much at that end. Full time for Triple-A. Not only is Draymond Green here himself. The biggest problem had been their defense. And Draymond Green helps them so much at that end. Longs in from behind. Sharp saves and it's up for grabs. Nice lead pass. Tamani will get under it and lay it home. There they are, stepping up the defense again. Blazers up eight. Sharp. He's got great touch. He's... Around two. Defender. Two guys kind of surrounded. Just kind of a quick little... High screen by Towns. No look inside. Gorky. He'll dive to the rim and stuff it with two hands. Oh, and a finish by Gorky. Jack. Stretch that lead. Put more pressure on their opponent. Oh, die. Oh. He's... He's Zelo. He's slaggy. He's got his own miss. Try to spin. Strip to the ball. Oh, no. Pass to Durant. Utama hooks it home. Chris Paul. He's now two rebounds away from a triple-double. 22 points. 10 assists. 8 rebounds. Make it 11 assists. Timeout Cavs. And here come the Boos. Ball handling of Chris Paul. He's got it. 16. Leading Dallas. Lupin with 12. Eyes in the back of his head to an open Tim Hardaway Jr. That would be play in the second quarter. Just like they threw it away. You need to learn to do it. You've got to... Watch out. Wenshaw got around. Joseph gets it out. Terry. Worst percentage of the year at 15%. They've got Donchik bottled up. But he finds Hardy with a terrific pass. You see me look at you? I mean, when he got ready for the pass, I just looked at you. There are not many people that are strong enough or clever enough to get that ball to go where it's going. Tim Hardaway. A little bit of a run. Point guards. Simmons. Durant up ahead and a two-handed jam. Simmons gets to the floor. Knocks it to Durant up ahead. Then stares down the Philadelphia bench. Fonku in the lane. Beale. Beale's the three. What a pass by Fonku Compasso. He's made the playoffs three straight years. He's been completely destroyed by injuries, though. Some of the big names. And that three by Monte Morris drops in. How skilled he is. And it's been on display for a long time. And Jones. Good defense there by the Clippers. Jones at it. Defense is all about effort. There Jones Jr. with the tap. And then the awareness to throw it in. Left-handed back to Garland. On the Vincent triple. Here comes Russell in transition. Lost the ball. Turnover. Jokic. Oh, what a play. Batting it ahead. He never even saw the ball until it landed. And then a touch pass to the cutter. That's just a bad pass by Garland. He doesn't see it. And we talk about athleticism, right? He can't see. That's an athlete, Dave. I mean, we talk about athleticism. Sacramento. What a beautiful look. James. James to the open. Bradley. The passing that LeBron does. Look at this. He reads the court. And right at the last minute, knows where everybody's at. 2-1 right now for the Timberwolves. Oh, my goodness. What a find by Luka. Through the legs of Torian Prince. Minnesota have Luka contained. That's the second loose ball he's gotten, too. Behind the back. Back to Brown for the slam. Saved by Beverley. The wraparound. Nice. The lob. The jam. They're going to allow him those three-point shots. Knocks down his first here. Oh. Darrell Dazzle to Davis for the flush. Step back. Tough shot. Wouldn't go. Rebound. Pulled away. Oh, what a play by Atenecompo. Between his legs. Down court. Free throws, though. All about these Hornets as Gershon takes it away again and saves it in to Tyrese Maxey. King J. Martin. Highlighted their athleticism at the top of the program. Dwight. The block party continues. LBJ. Bounce. Wells off the bounce. Leans in. Pass deflected. Good help defense from the Warriors. Oh, and a pass. And Kaminka throws it down. Krasinski with a sensational assist. I'm going to come at you. I'm going to get my assist. I'm going to just move the ball, and then I'm just going to play the game and go for the W. Largest lead for the Thunder. Champions. Sling pass. Corner three. Watson. Got it. Obeid Watson. Despite it missing in cover. Shooting with confidence. Shot out. I guess he was for a while tonight. Look at this save. With a shot in. Time out. Lakers 9-0. Change the lineup. To slip two spots. That was between the legs. Not just between his own legs, Simmons, but between Horford's legs as well. What a pass. Leading score in league history. Spinning underneath. Boy, they just surrounded him. And Wood hits it. Bends it away from the primary. There's three defenders there, and somehow he finds Christian Wood in the corner. Two out of three this year with one more play. Caldwell Pope steals it. Flips it up ahead. Courtesism of Aaron Gordon. And Lamentos lost it. Stolen away. Oh, Jeff Curry. See him pointing on that net there? I did. Brown getting some early minutes here. Todd Gibson on the floor as well. And pow. Open. Luka Doncic with a little spice. This is... Come on. They were tired because of the scheduling situation. Oh, Kawawara. With a steal. Look at the bone. Magli. Yes. Mute. Now he picks the pocket of Christopher. Behind the back. Williams. Gets the second tie of the night. Another assist by Devin Booker. People will talk about, you know, I was watching NBA, you know. A little touch on the shoulder. Now Luka puts a left hand on him. How about that behind the back pass? Reeves. Three. It's just amazing behind the back pass to try to get... Island trapped backcourt. Topolu scores on the turnover. Great pass down floor. With 13 seconds to go. You got to stay engaged. Luka looking up the defense. Oh, and what a... You know with Clay Thompson, no one's in there with Steph Curry. In that regard. But he's up there with a lot of players. A lead pass. Renick with the reverse. And this is what he's gotten good at. Excellent rebound that grabs that. Again. That worked. Free to fire. The triple away. Dodgets the rebound. Leading the break. Paul nipping at his heels. Outside. What a pass. Washington. Oh! That was beautiful. Three at home. Oh, look at that pass. Look at the pass. What a play! What did we just see there? What? They have a guy upstairs that's in charge of the challenge flag for the coaches. That's not super relevant to an NBA game. Oh, how about Jokic with an incredible pass to Eric Gordon. 51 Denver in front. Smart to steal. Behind the back goes to Thompson for the slam. And the Celtic defense instrumental in this turnaround. They're back up by nine. Here comes Westbrook. Nifty. Into the corner. No look. And Waiters cashes in. Makes the beautiful delivery from Westbrook's stick. Simmons. Oh, pretty play. Pats Smith in front of him. Go, go, go, go. Balls right past him. Somehow finds Miles. Three! Knocks that over and then draws a crowd. It was a nice drive and dish by Cotton. Oh, what a pass. Wiggins for three. Gorgeous assist from Steph Curry. Well, he's become a household name for his scoring, but his playmaking tonight has been... It was nice by LeBron. Back and forth. Jokic. Patson Hayes. What? Look at this pass here. Midpoint of the third quarter. Downs down by 13. Behind the back. Behind the back again! And a slam dunk by Colley Stein. Three doesn't go. Yama, 27-14. One. Harden whips it in. Funny pass. That's a built for the layup. That's the one thing that James Harden does not get enough of. Harden's got it. Ahead to Nagy. See ya! Put a little mustard on the pass and Zeke making sure he didn't let that thing bobble out of the hand. Steps out for three. No. Aaron Gordon with a rebound. Backside. Quickly. Jokic. Behind the back pass. He was nearly gonna run out of bounds, T. I gotta be honest. That was a heads-up play. He knew he was out of bounds. Four minutes left to really, you know, kind of get that lead, and they've kind of pushed it from there. CJ McCollum picks the puck. Murphy with the... Oh, wow! Just pickin'.
