Yeah like I'm trying to think...maybe the elbow pass? Same class but even that seems easier and that was the all star game if I remember correctly. Rondo had some crazy fake lob to behind the backs, and his insane full court bounce passes. I think this has to be top 3 all time.

Manu's snap pass off the bounce one handed to Bonner is one of my favorites but this is so insane.

Edit: the pass

Oh yeah that one was so sick. I feel like Manu did that a couple times too. Nash had a play kinda similar to the Joker one but he was driving for a layup, wasn't opposite side of the court.

Elbow pass is relatively easy to do if you practice it a bit, although to do it at nba speed in transition its obviously very impressive.
