The NBA is full of super talented players who can do amazing things with a basketball. But coaches usually put limitations on their players for the purpose of things like teamwork and winning. That’s why players like Nick Young regularly ball out on the street but don’t play too much in NBA games. The Drew League puts no sort of limitations on their players (mostly because winning doesn’t really matter here).

That’s a left-to-right, between-the-legs crossover into a behind-the-back dribble, to finish with a no-look, behind-the-back pass in a crowd of three defenders to his rolling big man. The pass may not have been right on the money, but cut him some slack, he’s been out of the game for three years. Just goes to show you, some handles really are timeless.
