This Phoenix Suns Fast Break Is Better Than Sex

It's hypnotic and perfectly in sync.

People sure like to call sports a "dance." There even was a long New York Times piece about how Steph Curry wows ballet dancers with his moves, his counterbalance. But that's just one man doing one thing by himself. It's rare that we get five men on court synched up in an eerie, beautiful simultaneous dance. If Steph Curry is a primo ballerino, then these Phoenix Suns are the whole Russian Ballet.

Eagle-eyed Reddit user u/Colvjs picked this needle out of a haystack, and it's really something to watch:

Sure, there's repetition in sports—everyone's trained in similar ways and are conditioned to respond to similar stimuli. But to get this kind of confluence among players is uncanny, poetic, strange, and beautiful. Strong pivot to the back foot, right arm pump, and off to the races.

Get those guys a pool and some swim caps. Synchronized swimming gold medal, Tokyo 2020. (Because we know none of them are making up a Dream Team anytime soon.)
