Every so often, you’ll see something you’ve never seen on a basketball court. DeMar DeRozan gave fans one of those moments on Monday night.
Over the past few seasons, DeRozan has continued adding to his arsenal as a playmaker. But perhaps none of his passes were as impressive as what he was able to pull off during a loss against the Bucks.
After multiple second-chance efforts, the six-time All-Star drove to the basket and then showed off his mesmerizing athleticism to complete a truly stunning pass.

DeRozan said that he was initially going for a 360-degree layup but that he saw Brook Lopez nearby as a defender. So he improvised to somehow find his teammate, Coby White, in the corner.
White nailed the catch-and-shoot 3-pointer for the Bulls, which DeRozan called his “bailout” and that the guard made him look good.
While the shot was impressive, the pass was one of the most memorable that you will ever see on a basketball court. NBA fans truly couldn’t believe what they saw.
