    Just saw on ESPN, Jamal Crawford to Blake Griffin. When video is available you'll understand why it deserves a thread. My goodness

    Crawford has the best handles in the NBA. This guy could have been a top scorer in this league if he went to the right team early in his career.

    Not even the greatest alley-oop in Clippers history

    That was sick! Griffin could have finished it off with a between the legs dunk too if his crotch wasn't still sore

    I can watch that play allllllll day. Crawford should get more credit for the play. That's a hard/risky pass to pull and he makes it look so easy. The creativity of the pass makes the play.

    The alley was a lot nastier than the oop.

    As a matter of personal preference, I like it more when there are defenders in play and someone gets posterized. Stevie had some ridiculous ones in traffic.

    Odom's pass was more difficult. 1. It's a no-look touch pass. 2. Crawford was completely uncontested. Odom has a defender on him.

    Personally, I thought it was disappointing because of the build-up. The difficult alley-hoops are ones when the ball is thrown really high or just out of reach, and the dunk ferocious or with defender in the way.

    Jumping up and putting the ball between the legs, and flipping it back up for a alley-hoop is pretty good, and a bit of showboating, but it wasn't really a great alleyhoop dunk.

    My two cents. Still a great play. But not that amazing to be honest.

    Let's not forget the one that Gerald Green had last year with the Nets.
