This is Monta Ellis of the Golden State Warriors that decided to try one more shot before showering after his morning shootaround–a behind-the-back underhanded heave from seven rows deep into the tunnel. And we’re posting it, so of course he made it. I’m more impressed that he shot this from the side, without any support from the backboard. It’s magical, in a hey-I’m-too-short-to-dunk sort of way. –Ball Don’t Lie.
And early congratulations to Skeets and Tas, who will stream their 500th TBJ podcast tomorrow.


Monta can do this but can’t ride a moped. What an athlete!
Holy crap, I’m more impressed with that DAP at the 18 second mark. I would love to see how long it would take Whitey to do that with Monta Ellis.
Gilbert “Gun-in” Arenas wants to see him try to shoot from the locker room.
Clash beat me to it…
The fact that Ellis has that elaborate of a handshake with some big dude with “Staff” on his jacket is crazy. How well do you have to know the guy before you get a handshake?
Is Monta Ellis speaking English? After the shot all I heard was her-haw-din-done-told-ja-i’s-wan-a-mil-i and so on and so forth.
ahhh, its speaking in tongues. exorcise it!
I’m not sure that’s behind the back. Over his head, perhaps.
