He scored 34 points and was dominant throughout his time on the court.However, it’s not the points he scored that amazed Klay Thompson – it’s one of his passes.Klay Thompson reacts to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s between-the-legs passAntetokounmpo was recently accused by Doc Rivers of lacking basketball IQ, but those comments look sillier by the day.The Greek superstar has been playing at an elite level in recent weeks, and that was once again the case on Saturday night against the Detroit Pistons.Along with scoring 34 points, Antetokounmpo recorded 14 rebounds, eight assists, a steal and three blocks in what was a phenomenal display.The highlight of the evening was when the Heat number seven almost fell over, but he regained his balance before passing the ball from between his own legs to Thompson, who scored a three-pointer.Everyone was impressed with Antetokounmpo’s pass, including Thompson, who seemed stunned – not just when it happened but after the game as well.He said, as per the official Miami Heat X account: “That was an incredible snap. That was like long snapper style. That was a testament to Giannis’ skill level.“People get enamoured with his ability to dunk and run, but my goodness, he’s like Magic (Johnson) at times with his vision.“He just knew I was in the corner. He didn’t even see me and just went right through the legs.”Coach Erik Spoelstra claimed after the game that the Miami Heat need Antetokounmpo to emulate Magic Johnson at times, and his pass to Thompson showed signs of that.The Heat have now won four in a row and have been victorious in seven of their last nine games. Things are slowly coming together for them now after what was a terrible start.It remains to be seen now how far Antetokounmpo can take this side in the coming weeks and months.Read more:‘He’s a hooper’- Giannis and Bam heap praise on rising Miami Heat rookie‘He also has to’: Erik Spoelstra tells Giannis Antetokounmpo he needs to do what Magic Johnson did‘That’s insane’: Giannis Antetokounmpo truly amazed by what Davion Mitchell did vs Cavs
