Kyrie Irving of the Boston Celtics let out a nifty spin pass to set himself up for a classic long-distance bomb.
In their game against the Atlanta Hawks, Irving added some English as he bounce-passed the ball to teammate Aron Baynes. He then went after the ball for a hand-off and swished a 3-pointer.

It's not a surprise that Irving unleashes street-basketball moves in a professional set up. He has built a reputation in the NBA as a creative yet fundamentally sound player. In fact, he's regarded as one of the most flashy players to have stepped in an NBA hardwood.
The Celtics are up against the Hawks tonight. They are looking forward to snapping a three-game losing streak. Early on in the season, their struggles are apparent.
It's not something that the saw coming. After all, their stars like Irving and Gordon Hayward are back and fully healthy. They also have a new and improved Jayson Tatum. On top of this, they are helmed by Brad Stevens — undoubtedly one of the best coaches in the NBA.
The Hawks, meanwhile, are on a nine-game skid. Nothing much is expected from them this season. But a win over the Celtics would certainly boost their morale moving forward.
