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... Bball H/T Imgur
