You shouldn't just work on your jump shot. You should work on being a better person, a better teammate, and a better friend.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want to be jumping from team to team.
The one thing I do that nobody else does is jump three and four times for one rebound.
Don't jump on a man unless he is down.
You try to figure out the best way to throw the shot put, or the perfect way to long jump, and you don't ever get it. You just chip away, chip away, chip away as time goes on.
Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.
When I was younger, I did not have the strength to jump well enough, but over the years I have gained that, worked on it. But the sensibility you simply have to have.
If you're playing basketball with someone who's better than you, you have to get better or else it's no fun.
I really do try hard to be a good teammate. I can't run very fast, but I try to always run hard. I may strike out a lot, but I try to walk to set up the guys who are hitting after me.
I know people are going to put the main focus on stopping me, so I need to learn how to make my teammates better by passing and creating opportunities for them.
It's not about how high you jump. It's about how high everyone else jumps.
