Larry Bird

on PASSING

"Passing the ball is what

I like best...

 

Because if I can get the ball to a guy and

he scores and I see the gleam in his eye

when he's running back down the court,

it's the greatest feeling in the world."

"I'd practice passing the ball off a wall, off a fence, didn't make no difference.  If the other guys score, you start seeing a gleam in their eyes.  Besides, passing is more of an art than shooting.  My feeling about passing is that it doesn't matter who's doing the scoring as long as it's us.  I just think when a man is open, he should get the ball, whether it's thirty feet out or underneath."

Do you believe...

An assist is as good

or better than scoring

a basket?

It is.

 

What is an ASSIST?

An assist is a pass from one teammate to another

that leads directly to a basket without the

necessity of a dribble by the pass receiver.
