Steph Curry on what he thinks needs to happen to solve America’s basketball problem:
“The ability to develop a baseline for like basketball IQ and what does that mean. There’s an epidemic in that respect. I also feel like even just the ability to allow kids to play multiple sports and be kids for as long as they can before it turns into kind of the business mentality and mindset. On the whole, I think the culture around it has kind of shifted in the wrong direction. I played multiple sports until I was 13 and then figured out what I wanted to do and what I loved. I think what I gained from playing multiple sports and the physical skill sets, the hand-eye coordination, different footwork, you’re around different people, have different demands on your body — that’s only helped me in basketball. I think there’s a lot of people trying to solve it knowing we need as much homegrown talent as possible representing the highest levels of basketball. So, we’ll see what happens.”

Laking tulong talaga yung champions league exposure nina Quincy at Gayoso sa mga ganitong laro. Ganda rin ng pinakita ni Badelic sa Cebu. For short, PFL at womens league shutout din sa inyo. Hopefully, mag-trickle down yung suporta after national team games.
