I wouldn't call it "crazy" by any stretch of the imagination.

Main reason defender lost balance and slipped was because he didn't expect a 7 footer to have basic handles like that on the perimeter. Nothing more.

Dude literally did a basic right to left crossover dribble with a jab/hesitation step thrown in. Defender didn't respect his game and bit hard.

Regardless, yeah, it's impressive. 7'1 guys should not have that kind of game.

Everybody knows Thon Makers game at this point. I highly doubt a 5 star big man from the same class didnt know he had that in him. Stop acting like the jab-hesi-stepback wasnt agile as fukk


on top of that...he hit the jumper :damn:

I seen this dude play in person and he is an absolute MONSTER.

Not only does he have those crazy handles, he is actually quite strong and quick on his feet. I saw him come off the baseline and do a reverse two-hand like it was NOTHING (in game). His game is extremely advanced for his age and his size and deceptive quickness... :wow: brehs there's no one in the NBA currently THAT big that can move and handle the ball like that. Not even AD.
