NOT JUST ME

I never claim to know more than the next person – I just keep on keepin’ on spreading the knowledge and information. Whether people put any stock into this material, is fine with me. A couple of days ago I blogged about Kevin Love and his ability, mainly his outstanding outlet passes. A couple of television analysts laughed at this unique skill. I guess their reasoning while discussing Love was that he couldn’t throw down backwards dunks or show some flashy move. Randy Foye of the T-Wolves loves the way Love tosses the outlet via the StarTribune.com.

Foye took Love aside often during three practices together Friday and Saturday for chats. He didn’t do so to provide veteran advice to an NBA rookie.

“I picked his brain to see what his basketball knowledge is,” Foye said. “You wouldn’t know he’s 19. He knows how to set screens. He can pass the ball. I was surprised how athletic he is. The way he outlets the ball — half-court for a strike, just guns the ball coast-to-coast — if you can get three or five of those every night, that makes the game easy.

“He’s great; he listens to me. That’s one thing I love about him.”
