Isaiah Canaan is suddenly starting for the Philadelphia 76ers after a deadline-day trade, and the point guard might have made the shot of the year on Monday.
Near the end of the first half against the Miami Heat, Philadelphia forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute drove to the basket and lost the ball, which torpedoed to the corner. Hollis Thompson grabbed it and threw a mid-air pass to Canaan on the perimeter. Dwyane Wade tried to steal it, and he and Canaan knocked the ball high into the air. Canaan jumped, recovered it and made a deep shot off the glass all in one motion. What a ridiculous play.
