I think AI deserves credit here too. He's a very talented passer that probably doesn't do it enough.

I bet Turkoglu leads the league. He usually gets 2-3 lobs to Dwight a game.

TJ Ford should be an honorable mention too IMO. On a side note, as good of a passer as Calderon is, he's terrible at throwing lobs.

Jason Kidd for sure.

I think McGrady is pretty good at lobbing it to himself

Sure you don't have that one backwards?

I think Marcus Camby deserves a mention if you're looking past guards. He's very good at throwing the lob.

Has to be J-Kidd.

Paul is second, but he and Chandler are beasts at the oop.

Anyone on the Magic team could be third. All they have to do is throw something up in the general direction of Howard, and he will stuff it.

The most underrated lobber has to be Calderon. [Ford? Shots are not lobs] When Ford was out, he and Bosh usually connected for 2 alley's a game, and he usually served some up for Moon too.

I see this guy blow lobs all the time, and when he doesn't, the recipient doesn't even dunk it; he usually just throws it in, or comes down with it, and lays it up.

I dunno man. Ford blew lobs all the time when he was playing. I remember a few times people bringing it up in game threads too. Calderon seems a lot better at it to me, and said his favorite pass was the alley oop to Bosh. I've seen Moon do what you're saying a couple times, but pretty sure that's because Moon doesn't seem to be good at dunking in traffic. Seems more finesse there. q

Paul and Chandler lead the league with something like 60 alley-oops so far this year.

Baron is very good at the oop.
