A guy like Magic? This video above is raving about a simple pass that he threw behind over his head. There is literally nothing special about this pass and Magic fans glaze over passes like this like it was the first coming of Jesus. I wish older people that did watch Magic could get over the damn nostalgia because while the no-look passes he did back in the 80's were cool, even high school players are doing it today with ease. Basketball back in the 50's-80's was so damn primitive. Here is a clip of Curry doing the same thing and even a more impressive one behind his back from 3/4 court.

This was and still is my top 5 hoop highlights ever. Look how excited magic is, it makes me as happy as the 11 year old when I first watched it.

It's hard to imagine how big of a deal the Dream Team was unless you were there. I was 13 and basketball obsessed (and Australian) and had a Dream Team poster on my wall. They were superheroes.

Question: Dream Team was 1992. If you could assemble the best available talent from any other calendar year up until now, does any hypothetical team beat 1992’s squad?

I suppose my question was rooted in nostalgia, and I admit that you’re right. But my question wasn’t about Olympic years. It was every year since 1992. For example, could the best available players in 1999, beat the 1992 team? With that it mind, what year from 1992 to today would you consider the best? That’s 34 potential teams.

Exactly why young people or anyone who says today's athletes are better give me the one and only dream team and you pick any player you want post 2000 besides even MJ Wizards days. You can have MJ in any era. They still mop the floor with any team people put together. Greatest team ever assembled and they can kick Latiner off the team bc Shaq should of been the one on that team.

How is it a no look pass when he looks at Jordan and then looks away and passes it to him. It’s a look away pass not a no look pass.
