    You've got to have good work ethics. You've got to come in and work hard every day. And you've got to put in that extra time because you've got to feel like when you’re not in the gym, someone else is in the gym trying to get better.

    You've got to realize that what ever you are trying to work on, there are going to be some frustrating times, but the most important thing you've got to do is keep working as hard as possible and not give up.

    Whatever you are trying to improve work on it extensively. If you are trying to improve your jump shot, go shoot 200-250 a day. Practicing is how you get it perfect.

    You can get to the basket in last than 40 dribbles. Also your hair gets in the way

    Some of that is funny, but seriously, if I had to pick just one thing that can make a difference it would be to shoot alone for a couple of hours every single day.

    LOL!!!



    Phislammajamma - Shooting alone for a couple hours is good but also try to play with people. :) If you are young boy or girl, your goal is to play with the bigger people. You learn alot faster.
