Last week, this new NBA Passing Diagram (you'll want to refer back to the link) blew up on Reddit. It's apparently the first of its kind, using tracking cameras in NBA arenas to represent, over the course of the season, the passing tendencies of all 30 teams. It illustrates, based on line thickness, how often teammates pass to one another.

This diagram is an important step in analytics because it is an easy-to-read way for casual fans to understand and visualize the passing habits of their favorite teams and players. Here are some main takeaways:

Golden State Warriors (first column, fourth row):

Anyone who has watched the Warriors play this season knows that their offense is dependant on Stephen Curry's ability to facilitate. This diagram, however, illustrates just how important his passing is to Golden State. There are four thick lines in their graphic, and each one connects back to Curry. This shows that he passes to his teammates (and they pass to him) more than anyone else on the Warriors pass to each other. The rest of the lines are very thin, showing that nearly all of the Warriors' passing includes their star point guard. Steph Curry, frankly, is the Warriors offense.

Los Angeles Clippers (first column, fifth row):

The thickest line in this entire diagram (read: the most common passing relationship in the NBA) connects Chris Paul with Blake Griffin. They pass to one another more than any other pair of teammates in the league. More than James and Wade, more than Westbrook and Durant, more than Rubio and Love; more than anyone. Their line, in fact, appears to be more than twice as thick as any other on the Clippers' diagram. The chemistry between CP3 and Griffin is, along with their massive improvements on defense, the main reason for the Clipppers' second-half resurgence this season. They are currently 51-22, good for third in the West.

Miami Heat (first column, sixth row):

The Heat are known for having excellent ball movement. Their representation illustrates that ball movement, as there are several relatively thick lines connecting several different players. Their offense, it seems, is not as reliant on LeBron James as, for example, Golden State's is to Steph Curry. The biggest surprise for the Heat's diagram, however, is that the thickest line does not connect LeBron and Wade, but instead, LeBron and Mario Chalmers. This indicates that the passing relationship between LeBron and Wade isn't nearly as prolific or consistent as is generally thought.

Oklahoma City Thunder (third column, seventh row):

According to their diagram, the Thunder have some of the worst ball movement in the NBA. There are only three lines of any consequence, connecting Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Serge Ibaka to each other. The remainder of the lines are paper thin, validating the notion that OKC is a team largely reliant on Durant and Westbrook's ability to make 1-on-1 plays.

Phoenix Suns (third column, eighth row):

The Suns are one of the best stories of the NBA season. Projected by most to end up in the lottery, Phoenix has defied expectations and is currently battling Memphis and Dallas for one of the final playoff spots in the West. The Suns' passing diagram provides some clarity as to how they have been able to keep winning with what many analysts describe as inferior talent on their roster. Their diagram is a representation of perhaps the most effective ball movement strategy in the NBA: everybody love everybody. There are no thick lines, and only a couple thin lines, indicating that everyone on the Suns passes to each other equally. No one on the Suns dominates the ball, and everyone is willing to pass to their teammates in order to put the team first. From looking at most of the other 29 NBA teams' diagrams, clearly they have something to learn from Phoenix.
