Improving is Addictive
Regardless of socio-economic status, education, or upbringing, anyone can learn the skills of basketball. In addition, practicing basketball requires a minimal amount of equipment or money to begin the process of skill development.
Unlike other sports (i.e. American Football, Ice Hockey, Cricket, Baseball, etc) all you need to work on your basketball skills is a basketball. There are literally hundreds of drills that anyone can practice (with only a basketball) to improve their ball handling, defense, passing, and rebounding. If you have access to a basketball hoop, the number of drills that you can practice to improve skills like, shooting and post-moves increases exponentially.
One of my favorite parts about the game of basketball is that there is NO LIMIT to how much you can improve. There
is no ceiling to how skilled you can become with a basketball…Even the best players (guys like Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant) in the world are always in the process of improving their game because basketball is a game that will never be perfected.
You can ALWAYS get better
