Video: Utah Jazz point guard Jamaal Tinsley's 'Houdini' assist

In the second quarter of the Utah Jazz's 103-95 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night, Jamaal Tinsley turned back the clock a little and showed off some of his streetball roots. 

Tinsley got the nickname "Mel Mel the Abuser" in the streetball world of New York City by doing things a lot craftier and flashier than this pass, but it's still fun to see him give a little flair to his assists from time to time.

Whether Tinsley is "nutmeg'ing" a defender or swooping the ball around defenders before dropping it off to a trailing big man, he's more than capable of still giving us a highlight on any given night.

He finished the game with just four points in 27 minutes but did record nine assists.
