Chelsea Gray absolutely stunned her Aces’ teammates with this smooth behind-the-back pass

Chelsea Gray Aces Sydney Colson WNBA

Chelsea Gray has been making difficult passes look easy for a while now in the WNBA. Her playmaking skills have helped her win a pair of championships and make four All-Star teams. Last season, she was the MVP of the Finals as the Las Vegas Aces won it all.

But on Saturday night, Gray dropped a dime that totally wowed her teammates.

With about three minutes to play in the Aces’ win over the Indiana Fever, Gray was leading the charge on a fast break. She crossed halfcourt, drew in a defender, and then – with her right hand – threw a dart of a pass behind her back to MVP candidate A’ja Wilson, who finished an easy lay-up for two points.

Gray’s Las Vegas teammates – especially Sydney Colson and Kierstan Bell – couldn’t believe it.

After the game, Las Vegas head coach Becky Hammon said:

“You got Chelsea Gray going out there, throwing passes out of her ears. I don’t know how she’s seeing some of this stuff… That’s what you get when you coach a magician; sometimes they just pull it out of their hat and you roll with it.”

Here’s another look at the play:

It wasn’t Gray’s only dime of the night.

She finished the game with a double-double of 13 points and 12 assists as the Aces won 101-88. It was the seventh points-assists double-double of Gray’s career.

Through 13 games this season, Gray is averaging a career-best 6.7 assists per game, which ranks third in the WNBA. She’s also shooting 50 percent from 3-point land.

The Aces are 12-1 on the season and have won five straight games. And Gray is a big reason why.
