Brent Barry picks off the Sonics' outlet pass, pushes the ball upcourt, and uncorks a 360 no-look behind-the-back pass that might be the most jaw-dropping assist of the 1996-97 season on January 23, 1997. The son of Hall of Famer Rick Barry was already turning heads in his second NBA season, having won the Slam Dunk Contest as a rookie with a free-throw-line takeoff that paid homage to Dr. J. A versatile 6'7" guard who shot 40% from deep for his career, Barry went on to win two championships with the Spurs and finished with 11 points, one rebound and two assists in this one.
