Message: [QUOTE="A Clockwork Orange, post: 4991080, member: 16"] I remember in Magic Johnson's autobiography, he mentioned a conversation with Jud Heathcote at Michigan State. Heathcote told him it's not a good pass if: A) Your teammate physically can't catch it. B) Your teammate isn't ready for it. Heathcote told him that point A was on him as the point guard. Point B is on his teammates. So, through a lot of time and practice, he learned the strengths and weaknesses of his teammates when it came to catching the basketball, and they learned to always be ready for a pass from him anywhere on the court. JJ wasn't ready and for good reason. Not the type of play needed at that point in the ballgame. With that said, there should never be a moment a player isn't ready for a pass from someone like Q.
