Young Hoopers need to play more 1v1

Payton Pritchard said he took his biggest jump when he was 15 & Steve Blake, who was in the NBA, would play him 1v1 every day. He NEVER won once but got better

You have to learn how to apply skill work and COMPETE

Kenyon Martin says he took a 20 hour greyhound bus he paid for himself to ABCD basketball camp for a chance to get noticed, and says he played so hard against Kobe Bryant that the camp flew him home first class

“Just play basketball hard. That’s all I did. Dunk shit, fight shit, block shit. That’s all I knew. The first NBA player I saw, I was in high school, man. Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn came did a thing at my high school. They was playing for the Mavericks. First time. And I'm challenging them”

“Hey, I'll bust y’all ass. Not knowing they in the league, giving Scotty and Mike 50, right? Yeah, but I'm arrogant in that regard, but I'm think I'm but not knowing they really, really good. But that was the first NBA players I saw. I didn't know nothing about rankings and who this that and the third. Man, I went to ABCD camp on the whim, right? Called a Greyhound. 20 hours bro.”

“When I got to ABCD, they in that thing talking about rankings and I’m like, rank who? Where? Who’s this dude? Why everybody following him around? It was Kobe. Like, why everybody following him around? Why he special?”

“Everybody was there. Class of ’96. Kobe was the No. 1 player in the class. You had Romel Lloyd, Shaheen Holloway, Lester Earl, Tim Thomas. I caught a bus, man. I caught a Greyhound. How does taking a Greyhound 20 hours turn into 15 years in the NBA? Just don’t deviate, man. It was never built on skill.”

“Throw the ball up. That used to be my thing. Throw the ball up, dog. I’ma beat you to it. Throw it up, I’ma go get it. It’s on the floor, I’ma go get it. You ain’t going to play harder than me. You’re not.”

“I caught a greyhound. I caught a Greyhound out there. And the thing is So, listen. Caught a greyhound there, right? I played so well that I got a flight home, dog. That's how hard I played at the camp.”

EYBL promoting what’s wrong with today’s AAU environment with banners all throughout the gym: “I am the show” and “I’m who they came to see.”

Imagine “Be the standard”; “Leaders build leaders”; “Better together”; “One Team. One Goal.”; “Dive first. Celebrate later.”

Kevin Durant says he grew up with no bed a single mom who went to bed hungry so he could eat

‘One of the best memories I had was when we moved into our first apartment no bed no furniture and we all just sat in the living room and hugged each other cause we thought we made it’

‘When something good happens to you I don’t know about you guys but I tend to look back to what brought me here’

‘We weren’t suppose to be here you made us believe you kept us off the streets put clothes on our backs put food on the table when you didn’t eat you made sure we ate’

When I seeked advice about what to do with my son and basketball, I went to the parents of the ELITE players. I followed the script. People that never done it, couldn't tell me or show me anything.
