I’ll be completely honest with you. I’m not entirely sure how to describe what I just watched.
Orlando’s Bol Bol has already had several jaw-dropping highlights so far this season. But this one makes less sense than almost anything that we have ever seen on a basketball court from someone of his height.
The 7-foot-2 forward, who has scored efficiently in isolation so far this season, completed a crossover against Toronto guard Fred VanVleet (a candidate for All-Defensive honors last season).
Then as four defenders collapsed onto him near the rim, he threw one of the wildest passes I’ve seen in quite some time to find a wide-open Markelle Fultz in the corner for a 3-pointer.

Bol often looks like he is playing a different sport when he is on the court.
This, however, was a special highlight even by his standards. The Magic are continuing to lose games, though, which means they are likely going to be in the running to land Victor Wembanyama in the 2023 NBA Draft.
It’s time to start fantasizing about Bol and Wemby on the same team.
