The Art of Basketball
Posted in Blogs, New Posts, News on January 29th, 2010 by Troy MilesThe art of basketball performance is ever changing. However the mathematics of optimal physical execution remains static. If you watch closely you will begin to notice the mechanical commonalities of successful players. Each may have his or her own distinguishable charcteristics, but in the end it’s the same math. Consistent success is rooted in the consistent application of such “basicologies (TM).“
“The truth is the math and science of the game never changes when it comes to successful play. In fact, most successful players do the same things. Oftentimes these players are not aware of or even concerned with the mathematical or scientific realities of their actions. They have success doing what they do, so they continue to do it…”

I agree the players today are not fundenmentally sound they use their athletic ability. They do not use the 10 foot jumpshot anymore everybody wants to dunk and make the highlight reel on Sportscenter. Everyone wants to shoot the three point shot. That why most foreign players are more fundenmentally sound. There are are exceptions such as Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, Richard Hamilton. My motoo is mix old school with new skool this means up and under moves, jab steps etc.
AGREE! its the same as boxing.. and if you wanna see a virtual boxer, watch mayweather fights. He’s virtual. He makes you protect one thing then damages another. Just like a virtual basketball player would do. He would be movement A and make his defender react with movement B, only to be able to see movement C.. Kids are getting taught the wrong way to play basketball. A virtual player doesn’t need athleticism, just an excellent mental makeup.
The “law of leadership” or being first, allows you to use being contrary to your advantage. Boxing , basketball… it doesn’t matter. Of course, establishing leadership is where all the skill comes in. Maintaining it is where the grit comes in.
