Inside Basketball's Absolute Smartest Playmakers

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Playing with your shoe, making timeouts, or better yet, pretending to go AFK. But first, it's about to get cheeky.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:06)
Today's NBA.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:07)
Oh, Flats with the okey-doke off his backside.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:10)
Dang, Rose got a nice backside. And up next, Rajon Rondo puts his 999 IQ to good use.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:17)
Going by Davis, a hit to Rondo.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:19)
Rondo, one man to meet.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:21)
Back to Allen, pretty pass, and the finish. Rajon Rondo with his ninth assist of the afternoon.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:29)
So much for LeBron's chase down block. Speaking of which, watch Marky Smart draw an offensive foul, not once, but twice.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:36)
Smart gets it down low to Tatum.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:39)
7.3 to go, and a one point.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:57)
Roe is making the Smart Family name proud, although Steph Curry is a whole different level.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:03)
Pick up the dribble, Curry cut without the ball, behind the back to Looney to lay it up and in. That's one for the highline reel.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:10)
Steph just moved without the ball again, it's not just to make plays for himself.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:14)
But does it top this?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:15)
So it's by one, Roe and his one, what a pass, that's it off to one of them! Okay, wow, so who did he move right there?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:25)
You have Jimmy Buckets, and now you have Gabe Dimes. However, you don't need to know LeDimes.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:31)
All you need is speed.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:32)
Plays up in that time now, knowing they're gonna get fouled the first time.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:35)
Look at him run away, you gotta get to him and foul him. That's the one, that's the one, Usain Bolt will be proud, but he's not the only one proud, so is Eric Spoelstra.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:46)
Thank you very much.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:48)
Thank you.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:49)
Robinson got it back, free, no.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:51)
Now, Roger, if you had made that, does he get it as a insider official?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:55)
Sheesh, I didn't know Jimmy Neutron could do that. Just like I didn't expect SGA to do this. Well, I be damned. Bro just whipped the ball through another man's legs. Oh, but do you know what else is smart? Stat padding.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:13)
This is running out of time.

**SPEAKER_10** (2:14)
Kisberg off the mark, another rebound there to Yannis. He's going to finish one rebound shy of a triple double.
And that will do it.

**SPEAKER_12** (2:21)
Oh, he got it.

**SPEAKER_10** (2:23)
Does that count?

**SPEAKER_12** (2:25)
It's got it, right?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:28)
They told her, on the bench, told her, Yannis has his triple double.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:32)
Well, that's one way to get a triple double. It's time to start fishing, in which case, Ben Simmons mates for the perfect bait.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:38)
28 combined points between Irving and Durant.

**SPEAKER_10** (2:42)
This is fun basketball here tonight. You got...

**SPEAKER_14** (2:46)
I think my rookie year, we was in Philly in the same situation, happened like that. First Ben in the first half, and I went to look at coach to get to play, and he ran through the ball, got the steal and went to dunk. I looked at coach, and I see him try to like, look like, oh yeah, I knew I had him. He was going to press up, and I was just going to force the ref to make the call.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:03)
And now Simmons crowds Moran, and Simmons is fouled out of the game. Moran basically baited him into it. That's an automatic, two hands.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:14)
Few it not, Simmons may have fouled out, but he can still play his favorite position, center bench. Up next, it's time to catch an even bigger fish.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:21)
They've had a nice run with six men of the year, five of them in the last nine.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:26)
You will, of course, want a couple of those.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:28)
Come on, why Dre might have to do another brother like that? Which brings us to the biggest fish there is. The NBA final. With the score tied 82 to 82, Karl Malone had a chance to win the game at the line. All he had to do was sink one free throw. That's when Scottie Pippen said something he'd never forget.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:44)
Number five, 23 points, 15 rebounds, nine and two half seconds to go.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:07)
Ouch, the truth hurts. Bro's gonna need some therapy. This takes us to the world's most lopsided battle, LeBron vs. the New York Knicks.

**SPEAKER_15** (4:15)
John Wall and how he had an impeccable motor every single night. And he's used that as motivation to get him into that motor mode.
