This weekend's greatest basketball highlight comes from neither the NBA nor March Madness

Instead, let's go to Spain, where a former NBA player was absolutely humiliated via an extremely nifty bit of ball-handling by a 5-foo-10 dude named Facundo Campazzo.

Campazzo is an Argentine who plays for a team called UCAM Mercia in Spain's pro basketball league, which is considered the world's second-best after the NBA. Mercia recently played a game against Sevilla, which currently employs the services of former NBA player Bostjan Nachbar. 

Check out this play from the game, in which Campazzo completely wraps the ball around Nachbar's back before passing to a teammate on the wing. 

The dude missed the shot, but who cares? Here's the most important snippet of the play again, this time in Vine form. 

G.O.A.T.: Michael Jordan, Steph Curry and Facundo Campazzo -- one's gotta go. 

Choose wisely.
