Superfly Weekend Video

Now this is amazing. I have been watching Basketball since I was a little kid. Some of my first memories of watching it come from when I was around 2 or 3 and we lived in West Richland. My dad would sit in a chair from the dining room table about 5 feet away from the TV and watch sports. The only sports I remember him watching were WWF (Or maybe it was another 80's wrestling association, I don't know for sure.) and basketball. He is the reason for my love of both the Seattle Supersonics and the North Carolina Tar Heels.

So with that being said, I don't think I have ever seen a play like this before. Not in all of my years of playing on the playground. Not in any of the many basketball (High School/College/Pro ) games I have been too, and never on TV. Most of you have heard of an alley-oop play. For those of who are basketball deficient, it is a play where one player throws the ball up in the air, and another player jumps up, catches the ball in mid air, and then proceeds to make the shot. Most of the time the shot ends up being a dunk, but you don't necessarily have dunk it for a successful alley-oop.

I have seen this play 100 times over. But what I haven't seen is a double alley-oop. That is, until now. What is amazing is that this isn't the pros or college. It is a high school game, and from the looks of it not many people were there to actually see it. But because of the wonders of the Internet (More specifically YouTube.) we are able to enjoy it. I wouldn't be surprised if you start seeing this added to playbooks across the country.




Simply Amazing.
