For instance, Tim Maddox, a small forward, also known as “Delicious,” stole the ball off of a pass from one of Eastern’s shooting guards and pushed the ball up the floor on a fast-break with power forward, Kareem Brunson. As a result, Maddox, successfully passed the ball to Brunson paving the way for a slam dunk.
