A DIFFERENT KIND OF MVP

One of the most underated parts of the game that often goes unnoticed, is the passing game. The average fan (and the average player for that matter) rarely understands the importance of good passing within the game.

A great example of a pure passer is San Antonio’s Manu Ginobili. Although he is capable of some amazing acrobatic feats of getting to the rim and finishing almost at will, when he comes into the game, the Spurs offense starts to hum as each and every worker bee gets in on the honey-making action. In last night’s game, he delivered six assists in 18 minutes.

A great passer doesn't have to score a lot of points to be the teams most valuable player.
