That was edited right?


I've seen a lot of good passes in my day ranging from behind the back passes to alley-oop passes. The one I saw with Manu Ginobli threading the needle inside the paint to an anxious Bonner waiting for the ball to lay in, is one of the best passes I've seen in a long time. I thought it had to be edited you cant even see the ball moving he threw it so hard. After over exaggerating the one handed bullet pass I realized that has to be a top 10 play of the year nominee.

Just watching it all unfold you'd think it was a play; Tiago Splitter gets the offensive board kicks it to Manu and he send it's immediately inside with a laser beam throw (left handed I must add) to Bonner for the easy 2. The fluidity of the play was just astounding but I'm not quite sure if I'd give it the overall number one pass I've seen. I think Jason Williams elbow pass (if that even makes any sense) in the 2000 rookie game might be my personal favorite. Check it out.


Both passes were fun to watch and goes to show dunks don't always make the highlights. I know there are a ton of other great passes made by a lot of other people in the past and during this season, however, these two happen to be my personal favorite.
