VIDEO: Wolves' Miller tosses perfect lob for airborne LaVine

The alley-oop is one of the prettiest plays in basketball, as it requires communication and collaboration, demanding that two players are perfectly in-sync.

On Sunday, Andre Miller - who will turn 40 in March - and Zach LaVine - who is 19 years Miller's junior - achieved such harmony.

LaVine - last year's Slam Dunk Contest champion - effortlessly, albeit aggressively, deposited Miller's perfectly-placed pass, essentially putting the final touches on the Wolves' domination of the woeful Phoenix Suns.

The pass was one of Miller's 8,000-plus dimes in his career - the 17-year veteran is currently ninth all time in assists.
