My Favorite Sets: Backdoor Lob Plays

My Favorite Sets is a weekly series looking at some of my favorite plays from the 2009-2010 and breaking them down using FastModel’s FastDraw program, and then showing you what it looks like live.

Today we are going to look at some of my favorite lob plays that took place over the past season.  Lob plays are important, because baskets are really hard to come by in the NBA, so if you can get a backdoor lob at the rim, you take advantage of it.  Not only that, but a perfectly run lob play can get the crowd going or take a crowd out of it, depending on where you are playing.
