Steve Nash (Phoenix Suns), Jason Kidd (Dallas Mavericks) and Deron Williams (Utah Jazz) talk about the fundamentals of passing and give basic passing tips to help you improve!  Such as:  reading the defense, what types of passes to use and taking PRIDE in your passing!  I know something we teach at HOOP DREAMS BASKETBALL is that “A good pass, leads to a good shot”!  So, basically saying, making sure that you deliver the pass at the right time, right place, and on the seams (passing, so the seams of the ball are lined up when the receiver catches the ball)!  So, lets get to work and enhance our passing abilities!!!

A little insight into the mind of Rajon Rondo (Boston Celtics), while speaking with Magic Johnson on ESPN!
