Trading him for Mike Bibby was a great move that should have won Sacramento a title but for some odd reason the Lakers shot 31 freethrows in the 4th quarter loo

He's going behind the back because he could make passes in tighter windows because the defense couldn't anticipate the pass when his eyes were not in the direction of his teammate recieving the ball. The defender couldn't react to where it was going until it was already half way to the receiver. That's also why he has so much zip on his passes as well. He's basically burning people's senses with his tactics. Genius.

Shaq said anytime he was in the paint, he could just throw his arms up in the ball would just appear in his hands.

He sure had the court vision and he had some mighty big balls to be making these plays day-in and day-out... You cannot teach court vision. You either have it or you don't. It is the ability to see where the play is going and to break the play up if a touchdown pass presents itself. This is why players like Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, LeBron James and Luka Doncic are as rare as the Shaquille O'Neals of the world... That pass basically between the heads of the two rotating players is a thing of beauty. If they were even semi expecting the pass they could have easily broken up the play, but it came from so far left field that they probably wondered what the hell just whipped by my head just now. Making plays where there was nothing going on. That's a playmaker...
