Kris Dunn sends dribble behind Shabazz Napier, then feeds a teammate for a score. I don't remember seeing a move like this before.

Impressive. It's a not too uncommon move used to wrong-foot a defender in sports like hockey and soccer, but I think that's the first time I've seen used it in basketball.

Insane. That kind of move is likely to make your opponent mad, making him think you're showboating to show him up. But it's a perfectly legitimate move and was the most effective option available to him to get around Napier, who is a fine on ball defender.
