This Could Very Well Be The Best Jump Ball EVER!

Most times in the NBA teams will want their tallest players or best jumpers to take jump balls. Sometimes however, teams don't have a choice who takes the jump and that leads to great moments like the one witnessed on Sunday between the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns.

After a scramble for the ball, Celtics' 5'9 guard Isaiah Thomas was set to take the jump ball against Suns' 5'10 guard Tyler Ullis. In comparison, the Celtics' tallest players - Kelly Olynyk and Tyler Zeller - are both 7'0 tall and the Suns' tallest players - Dragan Bender and Alex Len - are both listed at 7'1. That's quite a difference between Thomas and Ullis.

Thomas made the leap and won the tip for what was, while short-lived, an entertaining and unique moment in the NBA.
