One of my favorite pastimes when viewing Celtics games is to watch the first two steps of each player (yes I do watch some/many games multiple times, in fact I'll probably build one Quandary posting about the fallacy of ball watching, even though I get caught up in it like everyone else). Members of a good running team (and defensive team) sprint down court and start by pushing off hard (out of the “blocks”) the moment the ball changes hands (even after a made basket or free throw). Watch the first two steps of the Celtics players in the grainy, fuzzy throwback games of the 60's and 70's.
