Dwayne 'Swoop' Simpson: Hey, Broadway.
Eric 'Broadway' Jones: Hey!
Dwayne: I'm having some problems here, alright?
Eric: You're having a lot of problems.
Dwayne: I'm trying because I need your help, man!
You are the helper, and I need to be a better ball player man.
Now, I don't know what's going on, but every time I'm throwing a ball, I'm hitting people
in the knees.
I hit somebody in the head the other day.
And they don't want me to throw them the ball anymore.
I got to figure out how I can become a better passer, man.
Can you help me out?
Eric: I can help you out.
Dwayne: Thanks!
Eric: But I brought in some help to help us out.
Dwayne: Really?
Eric: We're going to help the helper.
Dwayne: Who, who?
Eric: The King.
Dwayne: The expert?
Eric: The expert!
He's a point guard.
Dwayne: Really?
Eric: He's got to be a good passer.
Dwayne: Okay, okay.
Eric: So when you're looking to become a better passer, there'sa couple of things you want
to focus on.
Dwayne: What's that?
Eric: First of all, you got to be able to see the floor.
Dwayne: Oh, Okay.
Eric: What we call court vision.
Dwayne: Vision.
Eric: So he's got the ball.
Before he even puts the ball on the floor to dribble it.
Dwayne: Yeah.
Eric: The first thing he wants to do is survey the scene.
Dwayne: Nice.
Eric: Surveillance.
Dwayne: Surveillance.
Eric: Yeah.
He's got a camera in his head.
Dwayne: Oh, okay.
Eric: He takes a snap shot of the court...
Dwayne: Really?
Eric: To see where his players are and see where the defense is.
Dwayne: Marvelous.
Okay.
Eric: Now that's the first part of being a good passer.
Dwayne: Okay, okay.
Eric: Now, you want to be able to know your personnel.
Dwayne: Right, right, right.
Eric: Know where a guy likes the ball.
Dwayne: Oh.
Okay, okay.
Eric: So if you're a big guy,
Dwayne: Yeah.
Eric: ..you don't want it down here.
Dwayne: No, I don't want it there.
Eric: No.
Dwayne: No.
Eric: You might want it up here.
Dwayne: Up here.
Eric: So you've got to be able to hit the target.
Dwayne: I like it.
Eric: A guy like me, I'm a shooter so I might want it in my shooting pocket.
Dwayne: Okay.
Eric: So he has to be able to hit the players in the target.
Dwayne: Nice.
Eric: And the last thing is, he has to be able to maneuver on the dribble..
Dwayne: Right.
Eric: ...and be able to hit players in stride to get easy baskets for his teammates.
Dwayne: Nice.
Eric: So if I'm on the move, and I want the ball here, I'm going right to the bucket for
a layout.
Dwayne: Okay.
To be a good passer, basically, you're telling me I've got to hit people in the target that
they need to have the ball in.
Eric: Exactly.
Dwayne: Nice!
Eric: So as we wrap it up...
Dwayne: Yes.
Eric: You want to hit people in the target.
You want to have great court vision.
You want to make sure that you take a snapshot of the court, and you want to make sure that
you hit people with the basketball..
Dwayne: Nice.
Eric: ...where they're most comfortable.
Dwayne: Sounds good man.
Sounds good.
Well, you what, thanks a lot, Broadway.
Eric: Thank you.
Dwayne: Thank you.
Eric: No, thank you.
I'm thankful.
