Watch: Chris Paul dishes nifty behind-the-back pass to Bismack Biyombo for slam

Chris Paul has compiled a deep history of flashy plays over his long career, but even after 16-plus seasons, he still continues to add to his highlight vault.

Paul did just that early in Friday night's game between the Suns and the Timberwolves, doling out a behind-the-back dime to Bismack Biyombo midway through the first quarter.

With Phoenix's early lead cut to 15-13 after a Karl-Anthony Towns and-1, Paul brought the ball up and called for a double screen from Biyombo and Cam Johnson. After Johnson set the initial pick, Paul waited until he had picked up Towns as the help man. 

Then, as Biyombo rolled to the paint, Paul flicked a crisp pocket pass behind his back to the veteran center, who leaped forward with no dribbles and flushed it down with authority.

In his 17th season, Paul entered Friday averaging 14.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game, good for the second-most dimes in the league. Biyombo, meanwhile, is experiencing a late renaissance to his career; in his 11th season and first with the Suns, he went into the game averaging a career-high 10.9 points per game in addition to 7.4 rebounds a night.
