If there's one thing that separates NBA superstars from every other pro basketball player, it's their abilities to create their own buckets. An elite group of players has the ability to take advantage of any sliver of space or the slightest opening to the rim -- scoring in ways that leave defenses completely helpless. The most deflating of these plays come on three types of spectacular moves, all

It landed safely in the catcher's hands, having gone right across the plate ... but the umpire had no idea what to do with it. Tadano, who
