1. The most impressive basketball play I ever

saw live and in person was by Wes Unseld. He stole a pass while his back was and had been to the defender. Seeing that and realizing he pinpointed the ball and it’s timing by watching the eyes of the player he was defending who, by the way was at least 6 or 7 feet or so away from him, just absolutely blew my mind. His back was still to the ball when he reached out and tapped it backhanded out of the air deftly to the floor, into his other hand as he turned and streaked up court.

Wes Unseld was a pleasure to watch. Rest In Peace Wes.
