It was a go-to shot in everyone’s driveway growing up playing a game of H-O-R-S-E with your pals. The good ol’ behind the backboard shot. It takes a precise angle and perfect loft to perform successfully, and almost always counts for a letter when you sink it. In the NBA it’s still only worth 2-points, but damn it’s pleasing to watch.
Monta Ellis is one of the most creative scorers in the league right now and he proved it again Wednesday night against Dallas with a redunkulous behind the backboard shot… and one. Monta’s not the only slick ball handler to make the shot this season though, after the jump see the two best players in the league right now sink similar buckets, as well as a crazy shot from Ellis during warm-ups.
Kobe’s version is pretty slick, but you know anything the Black Mamba can do the King will do better…
Not hard to see what elevates these guys above the rest of the league. Check out the last vid to see one of the coolest shots that’ll never score a point in a game.
