Paul Pierce defends Victor Wembanyama for walking off the court without shaking hands after losing the Finals:
“I've done that many times. I know it's the Finals and it's the last and everything, but you go through so. When we lost, I don't remember shaking hands in 2010. I think I walked off too, nobody said nothing about that... I'm not about to [let] confetti fall — I'm not about to go over there and just be like 'here, hug, dap me.' No, they are in their moment, so I'm out. It wasn't a lack of respect, it was just like, they are in their moment… Go ahead, have your moment man, I'll holler at you.”

Love this from Tim Duncan
There is no substitute to actually getting out there and doing it
You need “Game experience” and you need “situational experience”
This is why players play early and play through mistakes thrive
