Daniel Theis is one seriously creative fella.
During the second quarter of the Boston Celtics’ Christmas Day victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, Marcus Smart directed a pass toward Theis, who was standing just behind the 3-point line. Theis, however, wasn’t looking at Smart, and the pass careened off his back into the hands of Kyrie Irving, who knocked down a shot from beyond the arc. It was a weird play.

Who gets the assist, Smart or Theis? 🤔 https://t.co/XmvkQzNhxx

Electric stuff from the German Slim Shady.
In fact, Theis has a name for his new signature move.
Invented a new move specially for #NBAXmas game: The Off-The-Back-No-Look-Pass ! Do you like it ???
