The Kings passing on Luka with the #2 pick

Giannis passing it to the side of Hardens face was pretty awesome

college pass, but this one is unreal

ernie DiGregorio

on the move against the grain behind the back bullet through traffic on the money from halfcourt, just gross

Magic had a great passing highlight video. My favorite was fast break behind the back and then whips back to same side. Hard to describe but the showtime lakers ran.

Shoutout to Lebrons look away vs the Lakers where he palms the ball and mimics a pass to the perimeter and then hits the rolling big man (love if I recall correctly). Something about how casual it looks is what sets it apart for me.

Russel westbrook to Victor Oladipo

Doncic’s curveball while being trapped in the corner across the baseline against the Pacers.

Doncic’s anime wrist flick over his defender’s back against the Lakers.

Luka to Kyrie to DJJ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-YyWaKvrKs DeMar’s 360 spinning layup pass from 2 years ago is my pick

Steph curry bounce oop to Giannis

5 minutes and 49 seconds of take your pick

GINOBILIIII

Most underrated passer of his generation.

it’s not the coolest but it is my favorite: manu ginobili one handed no gather fastball – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSN1yRY_cXM

bonus manu pass: insane nutmeg of norris cole – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV-HXok_ysw

That white chocolate one where he hits it with his elbow behind his back.

rajon rondo’s behind the back

Jason Kidd spin pass

2014 Spurs. It’s more than just one pass

LeBrons no look pass. That was insane. The whole stadium fell for it.

The young gun Clippers came to mind

Jason Williams elbow pass in the ASG
Jokic nutmeg to milsap
Rondo driving behind the back to ray allen for three
Steven Adams full court to Schroeder for the buzzer beater
LeBron no look to zizic when both defenders try to cover Kyle Korver
Haliburton off the backboard to himself then out to the siakam for three

-Jamal crawford going between the legs for an alley-oop to blake griffin who windmill that shit.

-GP throwing the ball to kemp from mid court.

-magic. But especially that one where he fight for the ball, bounce it to rambis for the dunk

This one’s nowhere near the all-time passes, but I always liked Bron’s bullet pass to Big Z. It was astounding to watch how it got so much velocity.

curry-giannis asg pass, not that flashy but that ball looks like it came from heaven

Rondo hitting Ray Allen in the corner for me.

Damn no one mentioned steve nash or joe dumars

That one Westbrook pass 🤣🤣🤣 (IYKYK)

Westbrook shamgod to a Adams for a dunk

Russell Westbrook’s baseball pass to Oladipo

Its going to be from Rondo I tell ya that

Odom’s alley oop to Miles https://youtube.com/shorts/sUJ46cRrMWA?si=xLCgH7rjwAOHUyGN

So this is going to be wholly unsatisfying to all, but: In 1993 there was a summer pro-am game at Keyzar Pavilion in San Francisco. On one team was college Jason Kidd, on the other was Tim
Hardaway (my personal #1) and Gary Payton. At some point late in the first half, J-Kidd gets a rebound, turns around, takes one dribble and with one hand throws what must have been a 60 foot bounce pass to some dude on the break. Honestly, for this 15 year old, was enlightening and awe inspiring.

Bird steals the ball and passes to DJ for the layup.

https://youtu.be/pf8AjZYFmbg?is=GRfTdlO9TTXXOhFw

Not of all time but this pass from Vit krecji is nuts

The n word pass

I like Kobe’s pass to Ronny Turiaf. But Turiaf kind of ruined it with the finish

Blake Griffin to Kyrie to Mike James to KD. 2021 nets vs cavs. One of the sickest plays i’ve ever seen but Blake’s pass specifically was just nuts.

Allen Iverson full court bounce pass through the legs of a defender

Not a fan of Kevin Love but the pass to LeBron when he hit the turnaround 3 on the Wizards was good

97 finals game 4 to beat the bulls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVmEF2esKPY

https://youtu.be/D1sKWskkEr4?is=Kp2vci5dZ7Ox7oMC

Wade wraparound dribble around a dude on the sideline in the backcourt, then immediately throwing a lob to Shaq from about half court for the dunk. The man had such a flair for the dramatic.

Divac to Horry

Jokic with AG have some good mixtape to look at.

Larry Bird flipping the ball over his head backwards to Kevin McHale on the baseline

Larry Bird, straight backwards over his head, with bouncing it to McHale under the hoop.

Lebron vs Lakers

I think about that ¹⁸⁰⁄₃₆₀? spin pass from derozan from time to time (https://youtu.be/P-YyWaKvrKs?si=AidjZwkA4qJ1GSwK)

Vit Krejci once broke a defender’s ankles with a full-court bounce pass

https://youtu.be/80hEN3Kcs9E?is=z3A9QhqCJPC2GvrO

the 2nd highlight of this video

No Magic Johnson?

Lebron Behind the Back to DWade (Cleveland)

Lowry inbounding over Tako Fall to OG for the buzzer beater in the bubble.

Elbow pass

I am always fond of Iverson-Pistons half court bounce pass that nutmegged Grant Hill I think. Never thought I’d see a bounce pass to travel that far.

any pass where the defender claps after it… that’s the real answer

Dumars to Rodman is top 5 for nastiness 

I know you’re taking about in game passes, but the Celtics having a bunch of their legends for the final game at Boston Garden all pass to each other before Bird scores it is a great way for a team to tribute their arena.

https://youtu.be/QYhR-jhRoSI

LaMelo to Jalen

Jason Williams and about two dozen from Magic.

2007 fiba americup, usa vs venezuela, there’s a sequence where kobe passes to lebron passes to dwight howard who fumbles and jazon kidd saves it to carmelo who passes it to a cutting lebron who hits kobe with a behind the back pass for the dunk

Such a fun chaotic possession staying rent free in my mind

Jason Kidd something to Vince Carter

he gets a pass or rebound and throws a one hand LOB perfectly on the money to VC for the reverse

nasty smooth very cool

either that or the Wade full court pass to LeBron for the layup alley oop

perhaps the full speed no look pass magic

even Ben Simmons has a few jaw dropping passes in summer league

One of those full-³⁄₄ bounce passes

Jason Kidd bowling ball pass

https://youtu.be/_Inil1cubZ4?si=mYvcbHzi3AvUGoc-

Westbrook to Oladipo for me

This is technically two passes but its fucking dope

AI Cross court bounce pass

The Mavs passing the suns in game 7

The fact that there are multiple answers in this thread is proof thaty’all haven’t seen this:

https://youtu.be/IAmgMFpumds?is=KBpS5CutKML-VfuX

Didnt Barkley pass it to Shaq once

he even confused the guy that caught it

Marbury spin pass 

Timberwolves passing on Curry

NBA League Pass. Sign up today!

The Luka pass where he was double teamed in the corner falling out of bounds against the pacers

This was a set play the Celtics ran a few times - also seen it done by Bird to McHale: https://youtu.be/4hHHft9kW24?is=sxW74xcCJDUkL4W0

I’ve always enjoyed this Joe Dumars one.

Stockton full court clutch assist to seal the game

Allen Iverson’s full court bounce pass through the legs of a running defender imo

The one that always sticks with me is Luka against the Pacers. Had that man trapped in the corner and this motherfucker jumps, curveballs it under the stanchion to the opposite corner for a 3. The coolest pass I’ve ever seen

Something White Chocolate

IDK, I like watching mixtapes of players like Magic, Bird, Jason Kidd, Nash, Rondo, and Jason Williams.

There’s one by Rondo during his Boston seasons: a 360 + behind-the-back pass to Ray Allen against Golden State, that’s really cool.

2018 LeBron vs the Lakers no look pass to Ante Zizic

For the love of god, give me my Sonics back.

Rondo behind the back to Ray Allen three in the corner is one of the craziest passing plays I’ve ever seen.

The whole offense and defense is in motion and Rondo just finds him easily.

Manu between players legs for the layup

Larry Bird

Maybe the Westbrook 45 pass between the defenders legs to Oladipo.

I also like the non-chalant one handed fake out pass Lebron made.

Then in a less specific way, Rondo, Nash, Jokic, and Jason Williams have my favorite passing highlights.

Everything I ever did in NBA Street Vol 2

The Hali assist off the backboard to Siakam against the Knicks

Lebron had a super nice behind the back one while mid air in the Olympics. Prob not the top, but in the setting it was amazing.

Someone please find some Steve Nash highlights for these folks
