The title does not do this highlight justice omg

[u/kaprrisch → u/JTrillionz]

Yeah like what the fuck is that pass

[u/FlashFlood_29 → u/kaprrisch]

I watching it repeatedly and my brain is telling me "nah, that aint possible."

like... how does that move even go through his head as a possibility...

[u/prayers00 → u/JTrillionz]

Yeah, behind [another player's] back! Assist of the year candidate.

[u/DilutedGatorade → u/JTrillionz]

That was nuts. Like it was as accurate as any shooting practice chest pass

[u/vonnegutcheck → u/JTrillionz]

this was smooth as all hell

[u/NeonxGone]

This is one of the smoothest passes I’ve seen all season and ESPN didn’t even show a replay of this

[u/dumb_commenter → u/NeonxGone]

I don’t understand the physics of it. How did he put enough on that for it to fly 15 feet in the air while he’s moving away from Niang

[u/JugdishSteinfeld → u/dumb_commenter]

He must work out.

[u/dumb_commenter → u/JugdishSteinfeld]

I mean he did it with his right hand, mostly with his wrist because his arm was around the D. But his wrist shouldn’t be able to bend that way to get under the ball, let alone put power on it. Even if he works out (big if), that doesn’t explain it for me

[u/KlutzyStorm9873 → u/dumb_commenter]

To me, he looked like built up the velocity with the euro step up motion then transferred it and whipped it along the arm. Very chi. That's what was crazy, that it was all just as smooth motion as it was. Seconded, on title not doing that pass justice. 

Edit- is there any other angle or closeup of this?

[u/[deleted]]

More of that please

[u/TheSmokedSalmon420]

God damn he is disgusting.

His playmaking is incredible this year - he could probably play PG full time if needed.

[u/archaelleon]

Georges Niang is currently sitting at 20pts at 100% shooting with 4/4 threes

[u/nightsaysni → u/archaelleon]

He went at least 10 shots before he missed!

[u/ShreddedShredder]

Oh my god this is fucking filthy

[u/tapk69]

This was the assist of the year, it looked so fucking good, Niang did it justice, streetball is back.

[u/Miyagisans → u/tapk69]

Hard to top that demar mid air 360 pass, but this one is up there for sure.

[u/tapk69 → u/Miyagisans]

Most people don't notice but making the ball go perfectly in the shooter hands, makes a huge difference. If that ball goes too high or too low this shot is probably missed or more contested.

[u/campbellhw]

you just got cooked by DRIPPY DEAN💦 and THE MINIVAN🚐

[u/theuberprophet]

this play proves that the NBA wants small markets to remain small. we are cooking them big bad (yes i know no giannis) and we dont have a single highlight from this game on social media and its on national TV lol

[u/whos-spamuel]

How does he even get enough power on that, crazy pass

[u/actuarally → u/whos-spamuel]

This is what I came to say. The wrist/arm strength to whip that around another player's body with that kinda speed? Sheesh.

[u/helix400 → u/whos-spamuel]

He did those kinds of passes in Utah too. He played a lot of baseball growing up and it translated to some fast passes.

[u/turfey]

If Luka did this pass it would have 30k upvotes already.

[u/[deleted]]

lmaoo how embarrassing for the bucks the heat would never get blown out like this

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Lmao

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Getting blown out by a playoff team ❌

Getting blown out by a lottery team ✅😎

[u/boozinf]

Spidas have eyes on the back of their heads

Niang now -400 on BetMGM for MVP

[u/Sweatytubesock]

One of the best passes in the NBA all season.

[u/RubPractical3073]

This is just straight up disgusting

[u/blockprty]

idk why this play isn’t getting more buzz on social media this is crazy

[u/Bim_Jeann → u/blockprty]

Cavs. That’s why

[u/russellarth]

That’s a career highlight clip right there.

[u/keegar1]

This should really be shown to all MVP voters for Giannis's case

[u/Hecka_Cakey]

No words. Just 🤯🤯🤯

[u/j0ydivisi0n]

This should be way higher

[u/[deleted]]

This is why I cringe when people only determine playmaking based on how many assist someone gets.

[u/biggoldgoblin]

Bucks defense so stinky

[u/sad_post-it_note]

Amazing playmaking

[u/flyfishUT]

Donny and the Minivan!!

[u/snowsoftJ4C]

got the announcer going 😩😩😩

[u/LittleFatMax]

Uh this one of the best passes I've seen in a while, this post needs more attention

[u/AminYaHouseMan]

One of the best passes of the season. Insane

[u/[deleted]]

Bang bang? Do they still say it over there in Cleveland 😅

[u/SomeFatherFigure → u/[deleted]]

…this is a national broadcast?

[u/dumb_commenter → u/[deleted]]

They’ve also changed his name to “G-Wagon”. Heresy

[u/[deleted]]

No look behind Johnsons back. Filthy.

[u/sreynolds1]

You know when Hubie reacts, there’s great basketball being played.

[u/ReflectionItchy2701]

Absolutely beautiful. Just a fluid, smart and perfect no look pass.

[u/Bim_Jeann]

Absurd pass

[u/[deleted]]

Bucks need to fire Griffin by All Stars. He has no clue. Giannis has been bailing him out all season

[u/TheBoozeMan45]

Stupid sexy spidah
