Los Angeles Lakers guard Talen Horton-Tucker's euro-step is indeed a thing of beauty, that even injured teammate Anthony Davis can't help but emulate his move while on the bench. THT once again pulled off that deceitful side-step against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday at Staples Center.
The Lakers sophomore brilliantly used Motrezl Harrell's screen to get away from Terry Rozier before making a complete fool of Cody Zeller on his way to the cup. Horton Tucker went right before going back to his left and finishing a nifty lay-up over the 7-footer.
AD is First Team All-Bench Celebrations 😂😂

That finish got the seal of approval from The Brow, who celebrated by mimicking THT. AD's festive mood continued a few possessions later when Wesley Matthews drained a triple and he flashed his teammate's bow and arrow celebration.
Horton-Tucker, meanwhile, has been turning a lot of heads for his stellar play for the reigning champions this season. Davis is obviously a big fan of the 20-year-old guard, while even LeBron James admitted to copying THT's fancy euro-step.
After barely leaving the bench in his first year with the team, Horton-Tucker has become a staple in coach Frank Vogel's rotation in his sophomore season, notching 7.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 36 games played so far.
