Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas made a sweet behind-the-back floater against the Toronto Raptors.
Isaiah Thomas is a magician on the court. The quick point guard for the Boston Celtics has a knack for making impossible baskets and throwing sweet passes. He can do it all with a basketball in his hands and his speed makes it hard for defenders to try and keep up with him.
Against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, Thomas was making life difficult for defenders trying to stop him. On one play in particular, Thomas showed off how crazy quick he is with the ball in his hands and made a sweet play to get a shot up over a couple of Raptors defenders that were standing in the paint.
As Thomas drove the paint, he went behind the back with the basketball, brought the basketball all the way back to his left hand and threw up a soft floater that went in.
Despite being right there, neither Cory Joseph or Luis Scola could do anything to stop him because of the way he was able to wrap the ball around his body and get them to drop their hands on the play. It’s a savvy finesse move by Thomas and an even prettier one to watch.
