This Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Atlanta Hawks 143-141. However, it wasn´t the more than 280 points we saw scored nor the 54 points scored by Klay Thompson that were the highlights of the game. Not even the most viral image.
Social networks exploded with one of the assists of the match. Draymond Green, power forward of the Californian team, made "an invisible pass" to teammate Klay Thompson. This image caused a lot of chatter because, in principle, it does not show how the shooting guard receives the ball.
My head exploded too, how the fuck does Draymond Green pass the ball to Klay Thompson? 😳pic.twitter.com/sGXryO10lp

Immediately, many users began to debate about a pass that gave rise to all kinds of theories, with some even turning to architecture to analyze the play.
Draymon passes it between his legs and klay covers the action, if you notice klay doesn't touch the ball with his left hand at any point before shooting pic.twitter.com/hEB2tKMNxS

In 2D dimension there is something called a shadow and the ball never went between DG's legs or the shadow of the rebound would have been noticeable. This is a poorly done edit and even in this photo you can see KT passing behind DG and he still has nothing in his right hand. pic.twitter.com/xH5WK9Dhgn

The solution
The Golden State Warriors then took it upon themselves to remove any doubts from those who might have thought it was a set-up, a magic trick or even a paranormal phenomenon.
