    ^and I know White Chocolate isn't playing anymore so that pass from 2000 doesn't count, but that kid could pass.

    Thus, people should go watch his highlights if they haven't.

    That's an easier pass than the camera's made it look..

    Tyreke's pass is beautiful..

    And Parson's today, his spin was so in control... Would not be at all surprised if he fancied himself a ballerina before his height forced him out of it :p

    you do know that Jason Williams is no longer in the league right??? and that pass was from 13 years ago.???

    so yeah I believe we are talking about pass of the YEAR ... not best pass of the last century.

    Jon Barry had multiple behind the back passes better than that. Way better than that. The half-court one in the cavs game still impresses me when i watch it.

    While Pass of the Year is a little strong, that was a fantastic pass that not everyone can make and makes regularly. Jon Barry had multiple better passes than that in his career? Really?? Show me some.

    It was a great pass, certainly better than Lin's last night. It's not just about degree of difficulty, though it wasn't "easy" as many here appear to be claiming. But it wasn't expected.. at all.

    Sure, some of the videos on here have better passes... but as noted, from 2000 (and an all-star game mind you)..

    JayZ750, I think you are one of few non trolling douche bags of this post. That was a great pass. Where the defenders are located and the sudden stop and then pass is what makes it great. The physical movement of the pass itself is just decent. I love people saying they could make that pass. Really, you probably can't even run down the court at that speed and then stop on a dime to make that pass. That video of Jason Williams the receiver gets fouled and doesn't even make the shot. There is more to a pass then just the actually physical motion. The Tyreke pass was very nice too!

    lol. Agreed.

    It was a nice pass, but it wasn't that special.

    Wow, every solid player can do this and it's pretty easy. Tyreke had a pass that was 100x better, the same night. Homerism at it's finest.

    And all this time I thought Jordan had retired. Go figure.

    Nice pass, but not even close to pass of the year material. Maybe pass of the year for Billups.
