  • 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.
