Drew Gooden averages less than 1 assist per game. That doesn't mean, however, that he isn't an expert in the art of passing. He's got three rules that you need to follow if you want to successfully complete a behind-the-back pass.

2. "You have to be passing to a guy with good hands like [Zydrunas Ilgauskas] or LeBron."
3. "And, most importantly, you have to be willing to take the risk of not being successful and coming out of the game."

Pretty sound advice from Drew.
