    This shot was too cool ... think it needs its own thread. Kostas Papanikolaou's circus shot on Anthony Davis...

    Davis just had to say SMDH after that. Great move. I'm a fan.

    In a way, he reminds of Hornacek who used to throw up some ridiculous, off-balance, craptastic shots that always seemed to go in.

    Scola!!

    (whoops)

    I mean Kostas!! I know it's preseason, but the guy seems to be growing more comfortable, and better, by the minute. I'm starting to get a little excited. Ace job with the video, as usual!

    I love how he just squared up to him and took him 1 on 1 like it was nothing.

    We need the preceding two possessions in between Kostas and Davis as well! It makes this shot that much more awesome

    Is there any other rookie with a better preseason highlight reel?

    It was even more impressive because Davis had rejected his shot the play before and Kostas wasn't fazed. He went right back at him.

    Anthony Davis made sportscenter top 10 with your normal average everyday alley oop, but no Papa... Kind of criminal

    lol

    Before that Papa scored on Davis. It was just nice to see Papa taking it to one of the best players in the world and score. We need people like this.
