he’s gonna be the second best player on that team in a year

Snatch blocks are the best play in basketball change my mind

Close 2nd are steals in which the defender pokes the ball free to briefly hang in the air alone while the formerly offensive player makes his first step to the hoop sans sphere.

Long distance poster alley oops. Essentially a combination of a completed football pass into coverage and a poster dunk. Maybe only topped by playoff buzzer beaters

[–] TombombBearsFan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Snatching is the new pinning. Pinning a ball to the backboard is almost as bad.

Eric Collins hates trae young more than any other player and I'm here for it

[–] mamama285@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's not a shot tho..

[–] wtrmrk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Eric Collins, lol.

[–] StefonDiggsHS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mark Williams so good

[–] bigfootblake@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hornets commentator is the GOAT 😂

Call of the year already been made

[–] LakerBlue@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Early call of the year and early defensive play of the year nominees.

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Watching this game and Trae needs to stop with some of these layup attempts

Because of his stature/wingspan there's no way he's going to be able to consistently make a layup over lengthy defenders

He's gotta either stop and take the floater or just pass it out

Granted Hawks' spacing after the Murray trade is so fucked up that it's not so easy to do those things lol

[–] rogozh1n@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I know what you mean, but then he has a game where he makes these impossible shots nonstop over big centers. He's the most inconsistent superstar I've ever seen.

[–] SerialRapper@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Snatch blocks are the sexiest play in basketball change my mind

[–] xPeaWhyTee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wemby may do this tonight

This court looks really nice.

[–] Deusselkerr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was right about Mark Williams and Jalen Duren

This is my Super Bowl

[–] Devoidoxatom@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Goddam he's huge

[–] SuperAverageGuy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mark Williams is going to be amazing. Glad he's finally getting playing with time.

[–] plasticcitycentral@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This isn't a shot...

[–] watevauwant@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mark is the future Wemby stopper

[–] Redbullsnation@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Vintage Eric Collins

[–] MegaJ0NATR0N@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Snatched his ball, yup emasculated is the appropriate word

[–] strikedizzle@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mark Williams looks about 7’2

[–] FrogsRKoolAid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This man really snatch blocked a TRAE YOUNG LAYUPP!!!

[–] LyonsKing12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Big0bjective@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Such smoothness snatching that ball. Absolutely astonishing on defence!

[–] basketblog@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

it's clearly a lob pass to capela. so no block, jus a steal.

That was a lob pass

[–] chasehimdown@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

ain't no way in hell that boy is only 7'0

i haven't been keeping up with the NBA, didn't know they were using WWE announcers

[–] Nutholsters@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Trae Young is the worst superstar in the league and no one will ever convince we otherwise. I hate his game, I hate his attitude, I just can’t stand that little fucker. So clips like this bring me great joy.

[–] Blaze950@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I do want to point out that this wasn't a shot. Looks like it was intended to be a lob... Still nasty though!

[–] Level_Ad_6372@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Clearly a pass

[–] mwerichards@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Zion did B2B dunks one being a half court alley and the commentators were acting like my grandma did a layup
