    There was a real nice double alley-oop back in the Olympics some years back. I think it was Kidd to KG to Ray Allen. Could be Ray to KG but my memory is lacking right now.

    yea except in the olympics it was a pass up ahead where i think allen to carter it was......but allen threw it up ahead to carter for the dunk

    in that clip, they threw threw it to a guy at the baseline, who threw it behind him to some guy cutting toward the hoop from like the elbow....it wasnt a fast break like the olympic one, this was a half court.......plus let's remember, this is freaking high school.

    err don't see the point of that play... it could just have been a straight forward alley oop if the PG threw it closer to the rim - dude was open.

    Yeah nice play but its take too much timing, accuracy and synchronization to make it work otherwise you have the "Birdman".

    Alley-hoop are really hard to pull of in the NBA especially against a set defense. Why risk a possession on something so complicated when there are other more efficient ways to score. The alley-hoop the football equivalent of the deep pass, it looks pretty good when done correctly but most QBs end up missing the mark most of the times.

    I don't think it would have technically counted as a double alley-oop, but I remember the Clippers having a pretty sick play several years ago involving a full-court pass caught in mid-air, then tossed backwards overhead to another player for the alley-oop. That play was slick.
