An Oregon Freshman Destroyed Two Defenders With A Pair Of Filthy Moves

James Harden’s crossover that lit up Wesley Johnson earlier this week produced an enormous reaction from all corners of the NBA world.

LeBron James weighed in with the fact that anyone would “dream about” the kind of move Harden executed. Joel Embiid likewise enjoyed the “disrespectful” nature of the crossover, and even Harden himself admitted that “confusion” played a part in what actually transpired on the floor.

With that as the backdrop, Oregon women’s basketball player Aina Ayuso wasn’t necessarily trying to reenact Harden’s work on Friday, but in short, she put together a rather strong impression. The freshman point guard from Spain annihilated two (yes, two) would-be defenders, including an initial move that made her opponent slump to the floor in similar fashion to Johnson.

Ayuso’s move took place in the final minutes of the game, with Oregon leading by nearly 40 points at the time. Still, this was a particularly impressive move from a role player (Ayuso averages only eight minutes per game in her debut season for the Ducks), and this is certainly a moment she won’t forget.

Obviously, the level of attention this particular crossover will receive pales in comparison to that of Harden, but in the same breath, this Pac-12 version was a lot of fun.
