Thinking Basketball Podcast, my name is Ben. Welcome back to another episode and today's episode I just I just have

0:17.8

to get it out. It's something I've wanted to do a video on for I think over a year and a half feels like two years feels like ten years

0:30.0

Who can keep track of time anymore?

0:33.0

Time has become a very kind of funky nebulous concept for me.

0:40.0

And if you thought you were going to have time to catch your breath in the off season, it's looking like that's not going to be the case.

0:48.0

As of recording this, they are targeting a December 22nd, return for the NBA on a 72 game schedule and so that will be a

0:58.2

really quick break after the shutdown and then the bubble and all that stuff.

I think that's the only way for me to get this out is to just discuss the top 10

2:19.2

passers as I see them and some of the challenges that come with breaking down passers in this fashion.

2:27.3

I do think in general it's interesting obviously I find passing to be very valuable. I think passing is a critically important part of the game and it's discussed a lot at a high level.
