Duke commit Deron Rippey Jr. brings insane burst, shifty pace, and a tight handle, but the separator is how intentional he is with it all. Nothing feels rushed or wasted.
Deron’s going to make defenses feel real uncomfortable next season.🔥

Jalen Brunson shares what separates great players from good players.
"One thing that separates great players from good players is their detail. They detail the little things."
"Those great players, they really take pride in just watching film, watching what they eat, and making sure they're in the best shape of their life - just to get that edge."
Little details make big differences. The greats obsess over what others overlook.
"A true believer is just being able to believe in yourself, being able to believe in the process - that what you're doing is the right thing for you."
"I have the answers to the test. They're in my back pocket. I just need to be able to study them and know that I'm gonna do well on the test."
Preparation is confidence.
When you've done the work, you already have the answers and know what needs to be done.
It means living the details, believing in the process, and trusting your preparation.

“I wasn’t surprised I scored 81 points to be honest with you... I trained 8 hours a day - everyday. That’s a 1000 made shots per day.” - Kobe Bryant
This is one of the hardest quotes ever

“Everybody turns on the TV and they want to get in your bag and do eight different dribble moves to a fadeaway. Like that’s cool to watch but I don’t think that really wins games. I learned in San Antonio, simple works.” - Derrick White
Anthony Edwards and Kevin Durant workout
Edwards was a sponge to everything KD did during their Gold run together
Big reason for Edwards’ continued success is his willingness to learn from the veterans in the league
This is an elite breakdown from NBA great Michael Redd
He talks about how the best scorers can get to their “spot” and it’s not about having a “bag”
Worth the watch for serious Hoop Heads

ONE OF THE BEST LESSONS YOU CAN TEACH YOUNG PLAYERS
Not everyone gets the same amount out of an hour practice session. The players that give effort, are engaged, and bring good energy will get more out of a practice/training/game than everyone else.
Stack those days, and you will separate from others in the same amount of time!!
