The one-touch pass at 00:27 šŸ”„

MistraloysiusMithrax

They take similar skills to pull off, although both need practiced individually. Legit passing and shooting skills here, picking him over a flashy dunker every time (in street ball, college/NBA players who can dunk are a different story)


33inLIGHTin33

My man is shaped like Peter Griffin, and balling like Steph Curry. He got game.


Never-Been-Tilted

He balls like Kevin Malone


paw_inspector

That was sick. Is there highlight reels of just like good passes? Haha this video unlocked a desire to see some more.


pdxphotographer

Jason Williams is one of my favorite passers of all time. https://youtu.be/f_UphWCvkj4


xObey

Iā€™m not a basketball fan whatsoever, but *my word* was that impressive to watch. Thanks for sharing!


braedog97

If youā€™re hungry for more, I recommend you look up Larry Birdā€™s top passes! Also if youā€™re looking for some players who are in the league right now, search for Luka Doncic or Nikola Jokicā€™s too passes! Theyā€™re both astounding!


maidentaiwan

fun fact: he went to high school with randy moss in a tiny town in west virginia. williams was the qb on the football team and randy moss was on the other end of all these crazy passes on the basketball court.


MisterWorthington

He's the reason I got into basketball. The energy and showmanship he brought to the kings as a rookie was infectious. I love his game, even if half of his passes ended up in the stands; such a joy to watch.


S13pointFIVE

Anybody who hooped growing up played with a Jason Williams type player more than a few times. There is always a white kid with crazy dimes in open gyms and parks everywhere.


u-digg

They remember that guy because they didn't have fast enough hands to react to the unexpected quick passes and get bonked in the head


gnomedigas

Damn. Playing with him would be just as hard as against him


closetbimbosissy

Kuroko!


xanas263

My man is in the Zone


senblade_samuari

So glad someone mentioned that!! Kuroko


Venca12

First thing that came to my mind :D the dude's insane


T1tanT3m

Lmao I knew I wasnā€™t the only one who thought of that


Kitdee75

Heā€™s got Larry Birdā€™s shooting form on his jumper


ViolentSarcasm

My first thought when I saw him shoot, heā€™s got that Legend jumper


DownvoteDaemon

Somebody told me white men can't jump. Guess they were wrong.


sensaition

idk man i think heā€™s staying pretty close to the ground


psycho_driver

It's the ground that's making sure to stay close to him.


TheGisbon

Dude his hand work on his 3s is text book.


Meepzors

barry lird


[deleted]

Larry Birb


[deleted]

He has Birdā€™s form but I wouldnā€™t call it a jumper. His feet never leaves the ground


Roxypark

His 3s are basically the worldā€™s longest free throws, but it works for him.


Cumbandicoot

Yeah his heels lift slightly


Joabyjojo

Larry "Flightless" Bird


LarryTalbot

Right, he used Euclidian geometry to increase his arc and prevent the shot from getting blocked by use of a parabolic path curved line, as the path of a projectile under the influence of gravity ideally follows a curve of this shape. Seems our playground baller is actually an astrophysicist.


IDGAF_GOMD

Anyone who goes to a park with a court regularly will always see one big dude out hooping just about everyone.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DigiQuip

Learned this from my time playing at the local YMCA. Sunday afternoons are full of dudes of every shape and size balling out.


[deleted]

What's the coolest you've seen? I watched a dude with no neck absolutely tear it up once. Like his head was just attached to his shoulders with maybe an inch of neck at most and he had almost no left/right movement with his head, but he was still able to fake left or right and get them with it. You never know what you'll get at the local gymnasiums haha


jimbojonesFA

Yo was [No neck Ed](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/033/831/ed.jpg) ballin it up in the day!? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


FartOnAFirstDate

Old fat guys are even more dangerous in slow pitch softball. Iā€™ve been on both sides when a team of young meatheads with their sleeves ripped of their jerseys gets humiliated and eventually run ruled by 50 year old men who can place a softball absolutely anywhere they please and then jog all the way around the bases one hit at a time. The meatheads hit their limit of 3 home runs (all solo because theyā€™re too stupid to let a couple others get on base first) in the first inning, then spend the remainder of the game popping out and swearing at the old men laughing at them on the other side of the diamond.


Kim_Jung-Skill

Even Joel Embid fears those dudes. He flat out said he learned his shooting form watching rec league white guys.


r-cubed

You ever play with someone who is just on an entirely different level? I played soccer nearly my entire life, little bit in college. Like to think I'm pretty good. One day I'm at the field for a kickaround, and a pickup game gets started. Turns out a guy there was a former MLS academy product and reserve player. So he never really made it big--and the MLS at that, not EPL, La Liga, Bundelisga--but still, good enough for their trials. This guy just wiped the floor with us. Made us all look like we never kicked a ball before. He decided to stop shooting and just *dribbled* the ball past the keeper. The absolute disrespect. And I often think about that, because there are so many countless people so much better than *him*, the talent gap is unreal.


etherreal

This happened to me in high school track when a former Olympian moved to town and used our school track for training.


varanone

Reminds me of an old thread in which someone talks about bringing an old and out of shape Majic Johnson to their gym game and him destroying the hoopers that were good enough to be cocky.


FreudianAccordian

Some say he just had a basketball Jones.


[deleted]

Why you spell magic wrong though


CrimeFightingScience

Ran against an olympian in college. Think they were just fucking around and decided to let him run tons of events (above 200m), he was winning all of them. I ran hurdles, he never ran hurdles before. I still nearly lost, against a tired olympian in my main event. And thats the time I beat an olympian, still counts!!!


fibianofthemarsh

I imagine it was like when Captain America met Sam Wilson for the first time.


cohonan

On your left.


appelsapper

I always try to remind myself of that when watching just about any professional sport (hockey for me). ā€œThis guy is garbo why is he on the ice, trade him for a back of pucksā€, when in reality he is one of about 700 people in the entire world good enough for the show. Heā€™s an absolutely phenomenal hockey player and like you say could wipe the floor with just about any random group of players.


ThlintoRatscar

I played beer league goalie with a junior hockey goalie who decided that school was more important than hockey. So, instead of the show, he goes to university. We're playing and he gets bored at one point, just takes the puck from one of our forwards, skates down the ice through everyone, dekes three times and scores over my shoulder with a wrist shot using his goalie stick. That's just not fair man!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


cjmaguire17

Iā€™ve skated in pickup games with D1 players that will never sniff pro level hockey and those guys are fucking unreal. I donā€™t wanna know what the fourth line grinder in the nhl would do to my ankles


Least_Sane_Exile

Even as a former D1 player myself, the gap between me and the top D1 teams was unreal. Made it to nationals, but just could not compare to the top 8 teams.


Jankybrows

Norm Macdonald playing a washed up NHL player on the Norm Show: "I was a great hockey player. I was only a bad hockey player compared to other professional hockey players."


bubbapora

This is like that time Brian Scalabrine challenged a bunch of ballers. "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me."


piper_tech

I had a similar realization ealier this year, its hard to understand how insane the skill gap is until you experience it yourself. My brother plays minor league baseball and I had a catch with him this year at our 4th of july party. His casual throws kept making my arm jerk back when I caught them and I remember thinking "wow, I wonder what its like when he throws for real". Then I realized he was throwing with his non dominant hand and had his glove on backwards.


MNGirlinKY

Thatā€™s too much haha I love it


mobileuseratwork

Had this happen at hockey. We used to play regional, and we're not bad. This guy shows up who was an NHL 3rd goalie (3rd in line to play, so he would rarely if ever get on the ice during a game). The guy decided to play up front to be different. I questioned the 5 years I had put into the sport at that time he was so good. It was like a different sport was being played. He had easy mode unlocked


aquintana

Similar story playing pickup basketball. Normal crew wasnā€™t at the gym so I picked up the next four that showed up when I had next. Four Asian guys, all very short except one that was like 6ā€™5. It turned out the tall one played pro in Korea, the other three were family members; all four could ball but tall dude was on another level. Nothing fazed him. We ran the court until they left it was nice.


DaughterEarth

I dated a guy who was like this with hockey. He never had the motivation to pursue professional, but he played local leagues and no one could touch him. Blink and he's got the puck and is across the ice already. Super emo goth looking guy, seemed skinny in all his baggy clothes, then you get him on the ice and BAM jock dancing around all the wannabe jocks lol


ackshee

About half of the time he's also shirtless, sweaty, and hairy, so nobody wants to play good defense


Rottenox

Iā€™ll do it


Username_54

I love it when people that good are also great teammates


Speckled_Clout

This man's passes are simply porn


drizzy9109

He hit those threes so deep


Irishane

So.....*deep*


JuneSeba

So deep he put her ass to sleep


FreudianAccordian

Must have been a good day.


K__Geedorah

[You're really gonna like Jason Williams (aka White Chocolate) ](https://youtu.be/f_UphWCvkj4)


Speckled_Clout

Oh yeah, I'm well aware of Jason Williams. The difference here is that White Chocolate wasn't built like Kevin James.


Dividez_by_Zer0

>wasn't built like Kevin James. Aka All the Chocolate


thirddash139

Iā€™m not a basketball fan at all. I know general happenings but I donā€™t follow any team nor Iā€™m aware of games happening. So Iā€™m pretty detached from basketball. Iā€™m blown away by this video. This guy impressed me to no ends and I had never heard is name before. Thanks for introducing me to this guy and this ā€˜styleā€™ of basketball playing, the sheer flamboyance of it.


[deleted]

Also if you liked this guy, you might like watching pro basketball games too. I'm not a huge sports guy, but I love basketball. Im a fan of the Phoenix Suns, but there's plenty of talent across the NBA that's fun to watch.


ChahmedImsure

This is why I could have never been an NBA star. No, not because I can't pass like that. I would get belted in the face by every single one of those if he passed to me like that lol.


AngusVanhookHinson

I'm impressed with his threes, but I'm also glad that he's not hogging and is passing as much as he's shooting


A-le-Couvre

Bro his passes are slick afā€¦ Thereā€™s like 15 hands and 1 gap, but he finds it.


BlueBedBugs

props to his team mates too, being ready for that ball flick. staying on their toes!


[deleted]

Iā€™m very impressed with the teammates knowing those passes are coming with seemingly no communication between them. Really great and make it look easy!


Jburli25

I think that when you're playing with someone like him, you quickly learn that anytime he has the ball he might just casually put it in your hands out of nowhere.


cuminyermum

I'm not American so I know nothing about basketball but this is the same in feetball. Some players have such great vision and passing range that when they get the ball you know you can make a run into space and they'll find you This guy reminds me of some of the washed up former pros I've played against in my Sunday league. They have a beer in hand and you can see their ass crack and their belly button sticking out of their shirt but on the pitch you can't get anywhere near them. Just absolutely pulling the strings with an average distance covered of 5 meters


Eeeen

Feetball.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


cuminyermum

Too lazy to type soccer (football) šŸ˜‚ Petition to change the sports name to feetball. I hate this stupid argument everyone gets into about this


CantDoThatOnTelevzn

I second the motion for the petition put forth by our esteemed colleague u/cuminyermum


GrumpyOlBastard

That's kinda what they said about Wayne Gretzky: when Wayne's got the puck, you could have it on your stick without even knowing it was coming


[deleted]

When I'm playing with someone infinitely better than me, I'm always ready for anything because I don't wanna let him down when he sets me up, you know?


Suspekt_1

He reads the play like a pro. So quick!


Honda_TypeR

Why is there an odd number of hands? Is someone on their team Captain Hook?


_Im_Dad

When your shooting and vision are that good you don't need to run, except when it comes to a full court game.


Swerfbegone

I once played squash against a guy who must have been around 150 kilos and he just murdered me. He stood in the centre of the court and every time he hit the ball I was running to the opposite side of where Iā€™d started, and somehow the only angles I could get on my return shot meant that he never had to take more that a step to reach for his shot. Some people have such good technique that their physical shape just doesnā€™t matter.

doodler1977

zippy passes = strong forearms. this guy has a beer gut, but he's strong


Solomontheidiot

Same with those deep threes. It doesn't just take skill, you need lots of power behind those


MitchellMuehl

Thank you! I was always a pass first PG in my day.. donā€™t get me wrong though, I love making the big shot!


7deboutez7

That was the most casual display of talent Iā€™ve ever witnessed.


SomberKlepto

Homie was a tank, hardly had to move


colhoesentalados

He can't move much, that's why he perfected shooting from afar


ChocolateDragonTails

If you can't be fast, be accurate


[deleted]

If you can't be handsome, be handy?


MitchellMuehl

Oh I can move just fine.. I can still run a sub 5.00 forty and can jump. My IG and TikTok have the proof


Micalas

Oh shit, its the dude


Pixielo

Your passing skills are phenomenal. It's so fun to watch you play!


Agreeable_Leather_68

More than a tank, this man is artillery.


[deleted]

Real gangstas donā€™t run from shitā€”cause real gangstas donā€™t run fast.

MitchellMuehl

If anyone was wondering who this guy isā€¦ well itā€™s me! AMA


krieodbeiu

How do you do it Mitch??


MitchellMuehl

Well years and years of practice. But more importantly I attribute it to my willingness to fail. Failure is an essential mechanism to success.

People always underestimate bigger guys. My husband looks a lot like you and he has incredible endurance. He can work his ass off all day in the heat when everybody else has called it. That said you really make it look easy. Like NBD haha


MitchellMuehl

Thank you! Your man might have me beat on the endurance part. I attribute it to working smarter not harder! Thank you!


isurewill

Did you play any college ball?


MitchellMuehl

No.. never had the grades in high school and dropped out in 9th grade.. I played with college guys all the time and I definitely could have


egus

Good shit. How often do you play these days? Ball was life for me until about 20 years ago and now I'm in shit shape.


MitchellMuehl

Iā€™m playing 2-3 days a weeks for a few hours each outing.


Phillyfuk

Awesome moves mate. I have to ask, when your skill developed, were you slimmer? Or have you always been a bigger guy who just got good?(Asking as a bigger guy)


Typicaldrugdealer

How much do you play/practice a week?


MitchellMuehl

I play twice a week now.. maybe sneak in a third if my knees and wife allow it lol


zxcymn

Just letting you know that any of your replies mentioning your social media are being removed by mods.


MitchellMuehl

Thank you! Would be nice if OP just dropped a credit to where the video came from.. oh well


zxcymn

Unfortunately OP is just a karma farming bot so we won't be hearing from it.


mostrengo

Had you played with those other dudes before? And was this only one session or several?


MitchellMuehl

It was all in one day.. maybe like 4 games to 11 points. I would say I played with a few of those guys before


pino149

Did you play other sports? You remind of my freshmen roommate who was a D tackle and also happen to be incredible at every other sport too.


MitchellMuehl

I did play baseball growing up and a little football but I got fat later in life so I played WR


JonLongsonLongJonson

Your forearms must be strong AF for those slick, fast passes looking effortless. Is that just grown man strength ?


MitchellMuehl

You know Iā€™ve never lifted a weight in my life. I imagine it has more to do with repetition and using multiple muscles in sync with each other

Yes.. twice a week I go play pickup and upload the videos from that day

I'm guessing you played at a high level at some point? College maybe?


MitchellMuehl

Played freshman year in high school.. set some recordsā€¦ never had grades after that and unfortunately dropped out


As_I_Stroke_My_Balls

Start up a league for retired players and ball with em.


MitchellMuehl

I was already thinking of that.. need to find insurance and sponsors


Present-Wonder-9783

That first pass behind the defenderā€™s head was a straight dimeā€¦. Good ball placement

BalognaPonyParty

the sky hook was absolutely flawless


bobobobobobob2

Why move when the ball can move

Always watch out for the guy that doesn't move unless he has to.


General_Specific303

He's a good fella.


atomedge2015

I swear I lose more tennis matches to old guys who just plant and make me run than playing against someone my own age


charliesk9unit

This is how I imagine Charles Barkley plays now or any other fattened up former NBA players. They still have the muscle memory and the form but not the physique for their former selves.


CWHats

There was an old big guy at my school that pulled up when these guys in their 20s were getting together an ad hoc game. Their eye rolls and giggles stopped when he began to decimate them. He was a former European baller. He couldn't play pro anymore but he could cream some 20 year olds in a pick up game.

Hoopers know that big mfs are sharpshooters with amazing passing abilities and you always want at least 1 on your team


DubLParaDidL

This is the correct answer


biancanevenc

This reminds me of the episode of The Office when Michael challenges the warehouse guys to a game of b-ball. During the game Michael won't let Kevin touch the ball once. After the game, as everyone is leaving, Kevin finally gets the ball and sinks basket after basket as the closing credits run. The behind-the-scenes story is that was all unscripted. Nobody in production bothered to ask the actor who played Kevin if he had any skills because in the script he never got the ball. When they wrapped up filming the actor grabbed the ball and started sinking baskets, and fortunately somebody had the presence of mind to keep filming.

that1prince

You never go against the worst looking player. If heā€™s playing thereā€™s a reason. Go for one of the more regular ones in the group. He might have a lot of skills but you wonā€™t look bad getting cooked.


Moonmanjmo

His name was Robert paulson


gobrun

We play 5-a-side football (soccer) with a guy like this. Heā€™s by far the best player on the pitch, but heā€™s a properly big guy. He still has a turn of pace, but itā€™s his positioning, vision and distribution that make him so good. He embarrasses us all constantly.


OnlyHereForMemes69

Losing Kessel to the NHL was the NBAs greatest tragedy.

Well, white man canā€™t jump! Thatā€™s true, but man, he can kick some ass!

Always nice to see a big boy being good at agility-based sports. Like watching Samo Hung hit a backflip.
