[Highlight] LaMelo Ball completes the pass of the year to Jalen Brunson
i feel like something like this happens once a season and it’s so fucking funny every time
Giannis sniping Harden is always so funny.
so is Harden sniping Harden
Josh Hart’s reaction to Harden beaning himself is goated
I remember watching that game at a bar with some friends, and the moment Hart had his reaction I said that was going to be a GIF we’d be seeing for a long time
Okay LeBron
Josh Hart is my favorite actor who just so happens to play professional basketball
He’s one of my very favorites. He might get 20 rebounds but 0 high fives.

Not nba but reminds me of Dan carpenter hitting himself
https://youtu.be/3vpJmlt5FP0?si=5TQAAl3kUqrJ_ekU
I watched that live with my dad and its maybe the hardest I’ve ever seen him laugh.
https://youtu.be/7AXGr_GLfyI?si=N0abURjT5HAO2FpJ
The way it comes right back to Giannis and the play just keeps going is the part that fucking kills me.
Just Captain America the ball off Harden’s dome and go on with the play like it’s the most normal thing in the world.
And then MIL hits a three. Truly insult to injury.
Just the way they drew it up
captain america the ball is the perfect way to put that
I can hear the sound effect lol
Credit to Harden for getting up and carrying on. Dude’s bell would be ringing
Insult to injury AND he still ends up getting the assist.
I know Harden was in the strip club after pondering the moment.
AND 1 Streetball couldn’t have dreamt it up any better
I can hear the announcer scream OFF DA HEEZEY
Watching Harden it’s just like a sniper out of nowhere. Peak comedy
Holy fuck that was so much funnier than expected. Woke my wife laughing
“Just the way they drew it up” is insane commentary
“From one MVP to another”
He took it like a boss tbh
This shit kills me every time
💯 I could be in the worst mood and this shit would have me belly laughing.
This is the true origin of the harden Gianni’s beef
iirc it was actually starting just before this and one of the threads at the time was joking that Giannis did it on purpose lol
It’s so much worse than I remember it lmao
Tom Holland? Man I don’t wanna talk to yo BITCH ASS
Especially because there was beef at the time so everybody was convinced it was intentional. I’m still not positive it wasn’t intentional either lmao
This is always the first one that comes to mind
I feel like this happened to Josh Hart at some point. Just seems like the kind of thing that would happen to him.
Man, Harden was peak flopgod that year. Felt so justified.
Not so much when Metta does it though
It is perfect to put cartoon sound effects to
The announcers did pretty good hahaha
OH!
WOW!
WHACK
.
i swear he said “OH WOW BLACK”
Get out!
porzingis getting hit in the face is the best how his face ripples is tremendous
The laugh and the fact there was like 6 replays is awesome.
The gravity created by his big ass head sucked the ball in
The one where giannis powers up and obliterates harden is incredible.
“I wish I could just run and dunk”
Giannis RandyJohnsonkounmpo appears
He keepin his head in the game
If the ball ricocheted back into LaMelo’s face I’d be laughing so hard, someone would have to call the ER
Pass of the year to move his brain to the back of his head
No no no
First his brain whacks the front of his head, then the back
Just sloshing around
Push the hairline back even further
Like Indiana Jones when he jumped in the lead lined fridge to survive the nuclear testing blast…
Coup contrecoup
Incredible play to show the refs how Brunson actually reacts to contact, preventing them from falling for the head snap back flop!
Now that’s a great reply!
Josh Hart is gonna say something about Brunson’s head
He’s gettin clowned for this one for sure
It was the gravitational pull from that giant head
Is that why Brunson is getting doubled so much? The mass of his giant dome pulling all the defenders over.
Honestly surprised he didn’t immediately go to the locker room to get the tweet off.
He will be milking this one for sure
Brunson’s head gives him an unfair advantage as a defender. Can’t even pass with that sucker in the way. Should the NBA require him to get head reduction surgery?
I NEED to see his reaction
5000 IQ play. Give the opposing team’s best player a concussion.
They’re playing basketball, he’s playing 4D chess
Can’t score if you can’t play. Truly chess not checkers
i stopped reading after the pass of the year and was expecting it to be true. lmao
After seeing stuff that LeBron and Jokic have done recently, I popped in here all ready to dispute this post if the pass wasn’t actually otherworldly, and now I’m just laughing my ass off instead
Same lmfao
On first watch I thought he flicked the ball back with his wrist and was like, dude he’s a magician
It took my dumb ass between like 10 to 25 loops to realize he actually domed Brunson
genuinely how does that happen 😭
Tunnel vision or Brunson’s head too big. Probably both.
Josh gonna have a field day with this one on the pod
he expected brunson to be polite and move out of the way, but nah
I had my nose broken exactly like this playing in junior college. Point guard was trying to throw a no-look pass. We were always coached growing up that the hardest place for a defender to get their hand to quickly is right next to their own ear, so my guess is there is a bit of that baked in here as wel.
Nose wasn’t broken but had the worst bloody nose of my life playing pickup taking a pass to the nose in college. Ruined my favorite workout T-shirt. And still think it was half intentional for reasons
Story time!!
I mean you can see, the slow motion is actually helpful in this instance in addition to being funny. when the ball bounces off of brunson melo doesn’t react at all, because he doesn’t see it at all. he was only looking at his guy the entire play
I think he barely even recognized where Jalen was and was only looking at whatever he was passing to.
I’m low-key surprised Jokic doesn’t do this shit sometimes
His internal mental model of the 3D space around him is genuinely inhuman
It’s such a bummer when he does a magical pass and Cam or Bruce whomever is in with him misses the shot.
Ball got caught in the gravitational pull of Jalen’s melon
There was a cut with small window and he tried to pass it next to the head with the weak hand very hard pass but if it went through its 2 easy points
He aimed for the head
gravitational pull
Behind the beezy off the heezy. Out on you
Was hoping to see a nba street reference on here
Ah memories 😂
Goated soundtrack
My buddies and I would play it heads up and if you got the first beaning in, you could just keep going until you filled your meter. If they caught it and stole it, that’s just an easy turnover, so it was a game about fakes and feints to get that first one in, and then you were getting your face flattened on that possession.
The man.
The myth.
The legend.
Scott Sterling.
The ol’ off the heezy
Are we getting this fucking old? I had to scroll down way too far for this
NBA Street Vol. 2 came out 22 years ago.
Why are you like this
The worst news I’ve heard all fucking day. I’m old as shit :(
A reminisce a reminisce…
and that song came out 33 years ago 🙃
Came here for this comment
Anyone got a full clip? I want to see their reaction after this lol
They laughed about it and dapped up afterwards
then had sex and exchanged phone numbers. everyone was shocked but understood that this was necessary.
a friend of mine said they made the whole arena stink
Melo gave him a my b and they slapped hands.
A little more here

That’s a normal sized head find a new slant
lmaooo

Thank you, u/heatfan
My favorite part about this is just no reaction from Melo like he hasn’t processed it yet because he’s that slow
Why are you so mean?
idk :(
His eyes follow the ball he looks confused about it though
Real question: is this a foul?
Inquiring minds want to know, what if you just start beaming opposing players in the head with the ball over and over? How many times would it have to happen before a foul gets called?
“Okay but LaMelo… this is the *quickly counts on fingers* 9th time you’ve drilled Brunson in the head. It’s starting to feel personal.”
If you’re Giannis throwing it at Harden then no foul. If you’re Patrick Beverley throwing it at a fan then you get suspended but dont serve it because no team wanted to sign you the following year so you play in another league.
God I miss streetball. My knees don’t got it anymore but by golly I got the heart!
Don’t give players ideas.
i would 100% start watching basketball if teams had a “throw the ball at peoples head” guy the way hockey has a “fight people” guy
Nah thats called “Off the Heezy”
I don’t think so if it isn’t intentional. If intentional it’d be some sort of technical foul.
Problem though, how do you prove it is intentional. This could have been intentional and we’d never know it. I mean we are talking about players who are often able to play pinpoint precision passes, sometimes even of the no-look kind. What would stop someone to just go for an opposing player’s head. A potential turnover might be worth the chance of dealing an important player a concussion. Especially in a playoff series.
In handball for example, shooting someone in the face from a short distance is an automatic red card (ejection and having one player less on the field for 2 minutes) in most circumstances. Because you would expect someone throwing a ball all the time would be competent enough to not throw it in a way that this risk would come up.
So while I’m not sure what the appropriate punishment in basketball would be. Stuff like this here, should have some form of consequence. Because in my view there’s no valid reason for taking that kind of risk. With the Giannis-Harden-incident it would be more grey area, because there’s more distance. So yeah, this would get complicated and refs would certainly fuck it up a lot of the time. But then again it rarely seems to happen, so who cares.
I always wondered if you could guard a player in the post by yelling into their ears
Jokic in shambles
Lamelo the new GOAT
Off the heezy
Brunson’s flopping is getting egregious. He should be able to tank that.
Tbf he’s gotta big head
This is genuinely the third time Melo has done that to someone this season lol
Was hoping it would rebound off Brunson’s head and hit LaMelo in the face lol
Pass of the century if it did
brunson never beating the big head allegations
The lights must’ve caught Brunson’s forehead and blinded LaMelo so he couldn’t tell where his teammate was
I just died. I expected an awesome pass cuz of the title
“Lamelo plays like he has airpods in” is still my favorite analysis
Ball hadn’t even left his fingers, christ
I was actually expecting a filthy pass.
NBA Street Vol.2 shoutout
This just supports my contention that LaMelo would rather play on the And1 tour than in the NBA.
idk why but I just heard the Off the Heezy sound from NBA Street Vol 2… lol
Biggie Littles go to move
Bobblehead Brunson finally had a reason to be Bobblehead Brunson
That’s an assault charge
Confirmed that Jalen Brunson’s head is so big, it has a gravitational pull
I remember doing this to my girl in highschool, not a basketball but a rubber bouncy ball, im not a monster
Brunson really has a nose for the ball.
Holy shit this is hilarious
NBA player out here trying to make an AND1 mixtape.
KEEP THE HEADS RINGIN
Brunson not beating the big head allegations.
He knew what he was doing.
Off da heezy
Took “no look pass” a step too far.
Kobe wouldn’t even have flinched and the ball would have simply deflated upon impact. Today’s players are so soft.
Bumson finally learned to use his head
It’s not Lamelo’s fault. Brunson just has a big ass head.
Jokic has 24 hours to respond
I am now a LaMelo fan.
Same. Not salty about the playoffs last year at all…fuck brunson
Pinpoint accuracy
“Pass of the year”
I was about to say , a pretty brave title until I seen the video LMFAO
Nikola Jokic if Sabonis isn’t an idiot
Off the heazy
This is why melo is worth 4 1st rounders
I didn’t see the first shot properly, and watching the second angle I thought he rolled it off the back of his hand and flicked it to a trailer behind him for a deep 3 🤣
BONK!
Damn Hornets!
That had to of stung
I’ll see myself out
I bet his brain is buzzing
Lol
In yo face
Lmao that’s gonna be on purpose for “pushing up” on him 🤣
“Ball flew right into his head. Like he couldn’t avoid it.”
Brunson does have a huge head, I’m not sure who to blame here
He has a big head but you don’t have to rub it in like that. Cold blooded
That defense by Brunson. Will he finally get Defensive Player of the Game?!
Why isn’t this be an offensive foul?
That’s lowkey kind of brutal. Look how far and fast that ball bounces. Could easily be a concussion or whip lash.
Did that meet the criteria of flagrant foul?
Just snorted during a meeting
That just made my shifty night a little better.
Knicks Legend Lamelo Ball
Those voice over tiktoks are gonna have a field day with this one
O U C H
U
C
H
Big brain move
I kept thinking this was some kind of magic trick. Like, how did he get the ball to go the opposite direction of the pass?
Nope, no trick. He just threw it off the guy’s dome
Ladamn
Cue the newest rdc vid about lamelo lmao
I hope Brunsen is okay but this is pretty hilarious ngl
elite vision from both players excellent execution
Hit his ass with the off the heezy 😭
