Basketball’s version of the cheeky back-heel to Peter Crouch for the open net…

Back of the net...

Ben Kenyon

If this was football Gary Lineker would be gushing over this flowing passing move on Match of the Day.

You can just see it now – the ball is pumped over the top from deep where a clever back-heel leaves two defenders for dead.

The perfectly-weighted flick opens it up for the towering figure of Peter Crouch to ghost in unmarked and finish with ruthless conviction.

The interplay, the vision, the finish – this move has everything of a top class Premier League goal…except it was NBA team Cleveland Cavaliers who executed the play.

A great piece of skill whatever the sport. They’ve obviously been watching Sam Allardyce’s ‘Route One’ stuff…
