Ryan Nembhardt goes full Jason Kidd with a half court pass

Ryan Nembhard created a spectacular alleyway highlight reminiscent of Jason Kidd during Dallas Mavericks vs. New York Knicks match on Monday evening.

Nembhard is coming off the rookie campaign of his NBA career with the Mavericks. He embraced the opportunities he was given in the rotation, making several starts while securing a solid role as a spark plug off the bench.

Although his scoring was not explosive in the Dallas game against New York, he remained active in his play. That was the case when he pulled this game out in the final minutes of the third quarter. He got the ball like he did lobbed from the half court linegetting a pass to Moussa Cisse for a fierce throw.
