In the second quarter of the 2019 NBA All-Star Game, two of the league’s best teamed up for a highlight-reel play that got everyone in the arena — players included — up on their feet. With Giannis Antetokounmpo surging toward the basket, Stephen Curry assisted to his team captain with an alley-oop. But instead of a conventional lob, the Golden State Warriors star opted for something much flashier.

Given the Warriors’ preposterously loaded starting five, we’re not completely ruling out Curry pulling out the bounce alley-oop in an actual game.
