What Actually IS Game?

[baller08]

James - your question then becomes like what most guys ask, "What is the BEST way and just tell me so I can get on with it".

Mark pinned a thread this morning expressing his frustration that most men claim to have read his book and then promptly comes on here to ask questions that he has answered by page 25. This isn't specific to his book, it happens to every guy who has taught this because most guys are lazy. They just want the magic pill. They may read a blog or Models or No Mr. Nice Guy but the direction in there takes too much work...."just tell me what the best fucking tactic is!"

So James, if you really want to know what the BEST game is...I'll tell you....it's experience.

In the NBA, what is game? Jordan and Kobe's game will be different than Wilt or Duncan. Chris Paul and a John Stockton's game will be different than Chris Mullin and Reggie Miller.

But the guys who really dominate are the ones who try to be as proficient in as many areas of the game of basketball as they can. They study and play the game and they do it long enough to gain experience. This way, depending on the type of defense and flow of the game, they have the experience to know when to either take over a game or to be a playmaker for their team.

Technique and talent is only as useful as the person using it. Dominique Wilkins had just as much raw talent as Michael Jordan. Most people don't know who Dominique Wilkins is.

There is no such thing as a useless technique or tool....it's just your experience on when and how it's used that matters. If a guy doesn't know how to properly use the technique then it'll seem like it's useless, but the reality is, the technique is perfectly fine, it's just the guy lacks the experience to know how to use it.
