    Don't think it's an alley-oop if there is no dunk.

    Yes, and also WOW..

    That would be a nice play to run at the end of game as well, hope they use it again, hah.

    Also, in before people say Lebron/Wade travelled/palmed/fouled/ etc

    the pass was impressive, but the finish wasn't strong/good enough to be the best, or oneof the best, in history.

    It might be if DWade didn't have to travel to get it done.

    What is amazing about Wade's one-handed, full court pass is that a basketball will curve unless you get perfect underspin on it, which is much easier to do on that Carter alley-oop using a two-handed pass. The bigger the ball is the more it curves on less side spin (baseball vs softball vs soccer/volleyball vs bball). I've never thrown a basketball that far to a teammate (not sure if I ever had the strength to do that)...3/4ers at most, but you learn quick that they curve tremendously, if you throw them one handed with a baseball follow through.

    Watch Wade's follow through,,,straight down and through...no regular baseball or quarterback throwing motion.

    try it.

    This is the best alleyoop I've ever seen. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's a high quality capture of it.
