What makes professional basketball
players so different from you? Why do they make fewer
mistakes? How can Chauncey Billups have
a 3.59 AST/TO ratio and you can't? If we try to
summarize it in one word: experience!
So what can you do? Well you can wait…
keep going to practice and work hard, and one day you
too will have that "experience" working for you. Or you
can "jumpstart" your experience in a different way.
Ask yourself these questions:
-
Do I understand all the moves and tactics on the
court?
-
Can I predict situations before they happen?
-
Can I view all the options on the court and select
the best one for my team?
What should you do?
Smart Basketball Tips answers:
Watch games, as many as you can. But, and
here comes the important part,
watch the games as a
player, not as a fan. Many players make this
mistake. They watch games, but they only care about who
wins, who scores the most or makes the most amazing
dunks.
Now that you look at the game as a player
- not a fan - you should look for:
-
If you are a SG, look at your favorite SG. Watch how
he takes his shots. Is it off the dribble or off the
screen? How does he use the screen? What does he do
on defense? etc.
-
If you are a C, pay attention how players in the C
position get the ball on the low-post. Watch how
they use their body to get advantage; which fakes
they use when their back is towards the basket; how
they position themselves to rebound, etc.
-
If you are a PG, watch how players in the PG
position control the team. Try to see how they set
the offense and at the same time create situations
for themselves and for their team.
