Kevin Love's outlet passes

I almost made this exact thread a few weeks ago.

A lot of people really underestimate how important it is to have a big that can make great outlet passes.

For all the shite people gave Eric Dampier when he was on the Mavs the dude was integral to starting fastbreaks b/c of how good he was at outlet passes.

Without question Kevin White is too White.




Sarcasm aside he has played very well and playing his best ball when they most desperately need it.

I foresee him playing more in the post against GW and he can hammer Draymond down low better than any scrub Draymond has faced in the playoffs so far. He uses his leverage and body extremely well to get position with great post moves. I definitely see Cleveland mixing up Bron and Love in the post along with Irvin throughout their games to get easy shots at the glass and to slow the pace down. They are going to feast down low against GW if Lue wishes to expose that weakness.

That fourth gif is sick. I don't know how he saw Brewer running up the floor and visualized that pass falling in his arms.

Also, I love how Rubio hustles like the pass is for him and then is like, "Oh, well damn."

This one was so good I created my own gif just to post here

Bron was so hyped he missed the dunk when he tried to tear the whole rim off

Yep that's the one I thought was going to be in the OP. Unbelievable recognition and touch on that pass. That was simply incredible.

It's a hugeeee advantage to have someone that can grab a rebound, turn and send an outlet pass 85ft across the court and thread the needle doing it.

It's an even bigger advantage to be sending those passes to Lebron, who can go up and get the ball over just about everyone in the NBA, and Kyrie, who is unreal at finishing around the rim.

I remember when Love went to Cleveland and reading about how his outlet passing ability would arguably be his biggest asset in Cleveland. And it def could be.
