As a kid, my first favorite basketball players were Sherman Douglas, Billy Owens, and Magic Johnson. I like great passing.
I’m struggling to think of the good passers we’ve had in recent years, let alone the great ones. Those rare fast breaks that we actually run where we don’t score, or only score because Tyus is really athletic and good at scoring with a guy all over him are a hard watch for a guy who grew up on Sherman and Magic running the break.
MCW led the league in assists.
But we’ve been pretty meh since.
Ennis tried some ooops to Rak and others, and then realized those guys couldn’t finish, so we stopped running.
But yeah, I also really miss us running the break to perfection with a guy like Sherm making it all go.
