Plays such as the behind-the-back dribble, the no-look pass, the between-the-legs dribble, and many other flashy moves are all crowd favorites. In fact, basketball has become such a spectacle that giving the fans a show has become just as important as actually making a shot. After all, the game would not be as big as it is today if it were not for the people who want to watch the best athletes in the world performing some of the flashiest moves a basketball player could ever do. Players like Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Ja Morant are all capable of putting on a show on their own. They put the crowd in the seats in sold-out arenas because their skills are more than enough to give the people their money’s worth. And in most cases, the best players in the world are the ones that can do the flashiest moves and translate their showmanship to victories. They are more than just athletes—they’re entertainers. But basketball fans today forget the fact that there was one player who exclusively made the stylish brand of basketball his trademark on the court. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
