If you see the NBA now, a lot of it is in transition. Most people now try to get an easy shot off in six or eight seconds before the defense gets set.
The game of basketball is full of runs.
Golden State was basically a guard-oriented offense so I didn't use it that much.
I love fast breaks, and I love playing full-court basketball, but offensively in the half court, I kind of take my time, let guys cut, and let the defense move. Then, if I have a move, I'll go. If not, I'll just hand it off to a teammate.
That's what I do - I run the floor, I run the wing. Either get easy layups or transition threes.
Basketball's always been something that I loved.
Street basketball is all about shakes and fakes, crossing your defender up. The NBA is more strategic.
It used to be every single time you got the rebound, you handed it to the point guard, or you outlet it to the point guard, or everyone cleared, and you waited until the point guard brought the ball up the floor.
Eight minutes is a long time in basketball.
I really think your roster and your personnel dictates your style of play. When you have David West and Roy Hibbert does it make sense to play spread pick-and-roll game when you have those abilities inside?
