DIRECTIONAL PASSING: A button
Good ball movement is important in setting up open looks at the basket.
While controlling the ball, move the left thumbstick in the direction of the
player you wish to pass to, then press the A button to deliver the pass. Make
sure you have an open lane to the recipient, though. Throwing into a crowd,
trying to thread the needle a bit too closely, or heaving crosscourt passes will
often lead to turnovers.
