No HJ training.

Still not my main sport.
Only bounce and hoop.

One of the biggest differences between average players and elite players is processing speed. Most elite level offenses are built around the “0.5 rule” ... within half a second of catching the ball, you either shoot, drive, pass, or create another action. The defense is too athletic and too connected to hold the ball and overthink.

The game at high levels is less about who can dribble the most and more about who can recognize advantages the fastest. Slow decisions shrink spacing, kill driving gaps, and allow defenses to reset. Basketball IQ is not just knowledge... it’s speed of recognition under pressure.

[Coach Joe Gaba @CoachGaba]

Thank you! An impressive weekend for this group! And yes…addy does have “Aura” 😂

[North Jersey Girls Hoops @NNJGirlsHoops]

No NJ 17u saw more coaches than @unitedNJaau. Not only did @CoachGaba 17u P24 go 4-1 and seconds away from 5-0, they played in the highest 17u flight of any NJ team at @SelectEventsBB AC Showcase. Impressive! One fan said "@addykeenan5 is AURA." I'm told that's a good thing🤷🏻‍♂️.
