The video uploaded online presents a full code 5-on-five match where the team in a fence is leading with a shot. The defender tried to intervene the short and he jumped. However, it was a fake and he fell off without even touching the ball. The most painful part of the situation is he falls face first on the wooden court. He immediately stands up but his body language represents the agony he is dealing with.

The fake delivered in offense is beautiful and it somewhat connects with Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving moves. They are among the top names of ball handlers in the National basketball Association (NBA). There is this finals game where Kyrie was handling the ball. It is a clutch moment and Clay Thompson was guarding him. In those tough moments, he kept his composure, delivered a crossover and made a shot.
