Fastbreak Pass

Let's finish the year showing one of the Tim Duncan's great skills.

The pass. Watching some posts passing is like a nightmare, but Duncan (as others before, let's remember Sabonis, for example) is a great passer, which adds another dimension to his game.

In today's video, we see the Spurs' post opening the fastbreak. He grabs the rebound, dribbles fast and gives a great bounced pass with one hand for his teammate to score. See how he prepares the pass making the last dribble a little bit higher than the others, how he extends his arm, and his wrip's flexion at the end of the pass...

"Playmakeresque" as my friend Jeff would say...

Ha, you got my lingo just right, Raúl. :)

It's no wonder they call Duncan "Big Fundamental." He's so good technically, even running the floor like a guard. Nowhere near as fast, though. ;)
