Behind-the-Back Pass.
It is used extensively where a dribbler cuts into the basket and is cut off from in front, so he cannot make a shot or pass, so he flips it around behind his body to a teammate
who is either open o who is cutting for the basket.

BIOGRAPHIES
 MANU. The Sky with
My Hands
By: Daniel Frescó
The
first biography of Manu Ginóbili, in an outstanding investigation work, full of stories,
anecdotes and testimonies by his friends, family, teachers and team-mates, that reveal
unsuspected aspects of the life and personality of the athlete who makes all Argentinean
proud. The will-power, the determination to win, the talent, the intelligence and a weird
ability to be in the right place at the right moment all gathered to form the singular
destiny of Emanuel Ginóbili, the biggest Argentinean Basketball player in all times and
one of the best in the world. The journalist Daniel Frescó constructs this unique
life-story, by a meticulous investigation that includes testimonies by family members,
friends and team-mates, from his childhood in Bahía Blanca up to the moment he was
awarded the two rings champion at the NBA. The result of this investigation demonstrates
that a personality like Manu’s is not forged by chance or fortune, but is the result
of individual strength and the consequence of an environment, a moment and even- a
country. His name move nowadays millions of dollars and his rise is the paradigm of the
Argentinean that conquers the world, but behind the public image hides a humble guy, loyal
to his emotions and ready to confront any setback with the power of his intelligence and
perseverance. This passionate and exhaustive narrative, filled with anecdotes, reveals
unknown aspects of Ginóbili: the almost genetic vocation in Basketball, the obsession
with growth and the audacity to reach the goal, that in a certain way, he knew he was
destined to. Manu. The sky with My hands, the first book on Emanuel Ginóbili, offers a
portrait of a life and a career still open, which its accomplishments exceed the limits of
sport.
