Off season

 The off season probably the most important part of basketball and any other sport. If you don't workout and work on your game during the off season you'll find yourself being worse and worse compared to everyone else as the years go on. For basketball you have to work on your quickness and leg strength because those are the two main things. If you want to be good at basketball you have too be able to jump pretty high.

Trash Talking

An important part of playing basketball is trash talking your oppenents best player. If you get matched up against the other teams best player than you have to get inside his head. You make fun of him when he misses a shot, and when you make a good shot you tease him when you make a good shot over him. lf you can get inside his head and screw him up then your team's chances of winning go up. Yeah I've gotten one or two technicals for taunting but it was worth it.
