Hearing Maryland-Miami

Best Pass By a Seven-Footer You'll Ever See


We all knew the NBA Draft class of '06 was going to suck, at least in the short term. The smart money had Brandon Roy or Adam Morrison taking home Rookie of the Year, but Roy has spent time on the shelf and Morrison has spent time sucking. It's gotten so bad that FanHouse's Bethlehem Shoals is asking if this is the worst rookie class ever. And Kwame Brown didn't even go one overall!

That said, thank goodness for Andrea Bargnani and his breath of fresh air. Sure, the 7' Italian drained five threes in a win at Orlando last month and is averaging over 15 points per game this month, but I didn't know the man could pass like Kenny Smith in a dunk contest. Peep this delicious dish courtesy of True Hoop ...

That's right, Big Nani attempted an in-transition, no-look, between-the-legs, off-the-floor alley-oop, and it was right on the money. Too bad Chris Bosh got hacked while trying to finish or that would have been one of the all-time great dimes. Speaking of Bosh, what do you think of his new twisties?

While we're here, FanHouse has an 'NBA Videos' category, and it's worth keeping tabs on. I mean, just check out LaMarcus Aldridge clotheslining Dwyane Wade. Brutality.

    Ironically,Toronto should have "passed" on Bargnani.
