Highlights: Defending Luster 1-on-1 and receiving a pass from Luster


Comments:  Luster was asked to make his moves on a spring day in 2007.  Also watch as Luster passes the ball across the court.  Luster passed the ball right where the target was, sometimes at the camera, sometimes above the camera and other times to the left of the camera as though to pass in front of the player in stride.
