Hoop Dreams: Just a beautiful 360 degree spinning lay-up

It doesn’t have to be a dunk to be a wonderful bit of NBA skill, as Monta Ellis showed us last night.

The Milwaukee Bucks may not be the most exciting NBA franchise for casual fans but they are almost guaranteed a place in the play-offs in the Eastern Conference and they are in great form right now, winning four on the bounce.

Yesterday their guard Monta Ellis was named Eastern Conference player of the week for his recent good form and to celebrate he went off on one against the Utah Jazz last night, scoring 34.

The highlight was this basket, a wonderful spinning lay-up that left defender Enes Kanter helpless.

Just class.
