Basketball Cheers

But I noticed when I was watching the movie, that it had a great message to basketball players that actually improve their playing ability. If you watch Space Jam again, there was this scene when the Looney Tunes were in an intense basketball game against the Monstars. It was a one-sided game that was being dominated by the Monstars. At half-time, none of the Looney Tunes believed that they could comeback and win the game. Bugs Bunny found a way to turn his team’s frowns upside down. He filled a water bottle with water and told his teammates that it was “Michael’s Special Stuff”. The Looney Tunes team wanted to play just like Michael Jordan, so they each took a sip and went out playing, believing that they would play just like him. It turned out that won the game, because of Bugs Bunny’s creative idea! My point here is that if you are having problems with your basketball skills, your problem might just be how you mentally prepare for games and how you focus. I’ve got a couple of tips …

You just have to learn how to let go of your fear of getting hurt and let them in. 2. There Will be Obstacles in Your Way If you are the only person on the basketball court, then getting the ball from one end to another and putting in the basket is no big deal. During a game, though, it will be a lot more challenging, since you have a bunch of players from the other team not only trying to stop you from getting the ball into their net, but they …

Drafted into the team last season, Hill showed some of his worst performances then. Where is he heading to? South Ossetia possibly, to play baseball there! This seemed to be the rant for many players in the camp. Clearly, Hill seemed to look like a deer caught in Vegas lights. Absolutely unsure, the poor chap kept on holding on to the ball until someone from the opposition team dispossessed him. Worse still, he would not even come back to retrieve the ball for his teammates. If that is not a deer in Vegas lights, then what is? Hill’s teammates sum it up the best, “When we play, we aim to pass the ball from A to B. But with Hill around the corner, you don’t have B, there is only A.” Arguments for the defense of Hill are precious few. One of the things summarizing the disappointing performance of Hill was that he was learning a new position. So what? Does that mean you compromise on the team’s game plan? The other logic is that he was a new pick, and normally these guys do take some tim …
