There are 510 Players in the NBA & only 129 of them get 10 shots or more a game. 75% of the other players in the league have to do other things to stay relevant. Find other ways to impact the game. The ball wont be handed to you in every situation that you are in.

Dwight Powell is the most Professional NBA player that I’ve EVER worked with. Definitely worth the listen. Our game would be considerably better if EVERY young player took his approach to the game.
Spencer Dinwiddie: “I hope every single Mavs fan listens to this monologue and has a different respect level for (Dwight Powell).”

Players stop paying your trainers to work on nonsense that you’ll NEVER use in a game and work on things like this. This is a situation that comes up VERY often. Off the ball weak side your defender will lose vision of you 95% of the time. CUT

Luka Doncic is one of the best passers that the game has ever seen. On his step up pick and roll watch how the weak side defenders get fixated on Maxi Kleber rolling as well as Doncic's penetration this opens up the cross court one handed pass the corner shooter.

If you go back and watch player possessions across the NBA at least 85% of their shots come from simple basketball plays. Players have a choice. Work on simple plays or work on crazy shots that players take 1%of the time

Players should ALWAYS be one of these two players. Either one that is trying to help and educate teammates, if not be the second… Be the curious player that is looking to get better and take advice from teammates and/or coaches
This is what being a winner looks like
Both Donte DiVincenzo being verbal with his teammate and James Wiseman being open to the instruction
The best teams are lead from within

Steve Nash's (

10x One dribble pull ups (Right/Left)
10x Hesitation pull ups

Changing speeds is one of the most important skill sets that you can have as aPG. Being able to set your defender up slow and finish them fast will enable you to get in the paint effectively. You don't need 50 moves to do it. Read your defender & play w/ 2 speeds.

Shooting is all about the little details done the same way over and over again.With your balance hand make sure it is off the ball on the release & it's not impacting the flight of the ball.Look at Duncan Robinson's release and how the balance hand is off the ball.

I changed a player’s shot a few years ago and the first 6 weeks was all form shooting and non game speed to retrain the brain. People forget they shot with the old shot 100-150 thousand time. The brain needs to be retrained like any other habit
Footwork, Form & Follow Through. Typically do not leave the paint for at least a month to make sure the basics become the new normal. Overall theme is confidence - mentally building a strong base and core as well.

Definition of cold blooded
33 years ago today, Larry Bird recorded a triple double by scoring 10 of 21 field goals with his off, left-hand.
He finished the game with 47 points, 14 rebounds & 11 assists.
His reason why?
"I'm saving my right hand for the Lakers."

Thybulle is clearly a starting wing player in the NBA that can be a 4th/5th option. He’s an elite cutter/ defender and can make spot up 3PT shots. It’s not easy surviving in the NBA even when you are good enough.

In this clip I discuss players being relevant in other ways besides just dominating the ball and trying to score. In an example out of 510 NBA players only 100-105 get 10 shots or more in a game. Over 80% of the league has to find other ways to be relevant. Please share & comment

I think it is important to educate young players the importance of impacting the game in other ways besides scoring. 80% of the players who play do so without plays consistently being called to them. Finding ways to impact the game is critical for players at all levels.
