It's an illegal move. It has to hit the rim or backboard otherwise it's a self pass.

It's illegal, but these days it seems like half the rule book is ignored anyway.

but it wasn't a pass, it was a (one handed) dribble
a ridiculous dribble, but still a dribble

I was gonna say it was illegal for sure, but since he does it with one hand and his hand never goes under the ball it might legit count technically as a dribble.


My first impression was that this was open-and-shut, but someone gotta show the specific rule that makes this a pass and not a dribble.
