The NBA in general tries too hard to build up star figures, and does a poor job of communicating the way the game is actually played. Seeing how Love gets those little edges on an outlet pass, or how Tim Duncan works a jab step, can be extremely cool. Do a majority of NBA fans even know their own team's typical plays? (Speaking as a Wolves fan, one of the stranger aspects of Love's outlet passing is that he pretty often catches the camera a step slow, so that you only really see the thing in a replay.)

I saw the pass to Westbrook in a slow-mo was immediately downloaded it onto my I-pod. He's one of my favorite players in the game right now. Consistent, hard working, and those genius passes don't hurt! Kevin Love is a master mind with those passes. I saw the pass to Westbrook in a slow-mo was immediately downloaded it onto my I-pod.
