Flashback to a simpler time, 10 years ago. Something called Arvydas Sabonis suited up for the Portland Trail Blazers against the Dallas Mavericks. Just watch this pass.

It’s a shame the recipient of the greatest no-look pass ever couldn’t finish the play and make it an all-time highlight. You will never see a guy this big make a pass this good ever. Sabonis retired in 2005, but stood at a freakish 7’3″ tall. The Lithuanian national has a footnote in history as being a member of the 1988 Soviet Union Olympic team that won a gold medal over the U.S. and created a need for America to come back in 1992 with the Dream Team, the ass-kickingest group of basketball players ever assembled.
