I don't think that was an accident. People do that move a lot in street ball. That's so damn disrespectful to do that in a real game to a nba player, he toyed with Napier like he was a little kid.
this is an accident easily to me. he loses the ball initially as he's going into a crossover. just happened to bounce that way
Well the only reason I doubt it's an accident is because he wouldn't be able to recover that fast to the ball if he wasn't expecting it to go there.
Well the ball was far from him and he had to position himself to it, it's a natural movement had he intended to do the move. If he meant to do it, how else would he look if he tries to recover?
you're making it a little too complicated then it really is. not really going to dive into this much because its not that big of a deal. pretty cool but totally a fluke to me.
I don't think there was that big of a hesitation, the video is slow mo' d. If someone looses the ball I doubt the run away from it. Even when you purposely do the move you have to take a second to find the ball again when your moving so fast, It isn't a ball on the string move, it's a read and reaction.
My point exactly. Usually when a player loses a handle he tends to completely stop his motion or actually look surprised
I think it was on purpose but none of us can definitively call it. Ya'll all sound like a bunch of 'holics claiming you 'know' what the intent was. It looked cool, leave it at that.
