The creativity. The artistry. The sheer beauty of two world-class athletes working in unspoken, telepathic harmony to pull of an awe-inducing feat of gracefully expressive hardcourt accomplishment.
In other words: a highlight.
This isn't just any highlight, though -- it's one of the coolest in-game NBA alley-oops of recent ever and encapsulates everything enchanting about Earth's premier basketball league.
Who do we have to thank for the moment? Los Angeles Clippers Jamal Crawford and Blake Griffin, as well as the entire Milwaukee Bucks organization for making this wide open fast break possible during Wednesday night's game. The YouTube video above has already been watched more than 143,000 times because it's just so gall-darn magisterial.
