No, seriously: Dwyane Wade is excellent at ludicrous no-look flip shots. We've been telling you for a while that it's, like, one of his things. Remember how he busted it out on DeMarcus Cousins and the Sacramento Kings last year, turning a Euro-step trip into a mid-air righty scoop over his left shoulder ? Or when he brought it back in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Boston Celtics, corralling a rebound and flipping for the deuce while being fouled to the floor? (If you don't remember, watch the plays here and here , respectively.) Well, Wade was at it again when the Miami Heat faced the New Jersey Nets on Tuesday night. Guarded by Nets rookie MarShon Brooks in the right corner, Wade moved off the ball around a Dexter Pittman screen and curled to the mid-block, where Mario Chalmers hit him with a pass. As New Jersey center Shelden Williams rotated to cut off the penetration, Wade took one quick dribble, reverse-pivoted into Williams to create contact, then hooked with his left elbow to seal off the defender and heaved up a little no-look hook that somehow goes in despite the fact that I don't think he saw it until he was on his back out of bounds. Like we said: It's one of his things.
