Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 1026896, member: 874"] You just contradicted yourself. The question in my post you responded to was why young players are not learning to play away from the ball. You said it's because they dominate with the ball in their hands. Then you said they can learn to play away from the ball. So which is it? I never said they weren't good with the ball in their hands. There was a time when players learned the whole game. That happens less and less today. Guys get good enough to get in the NBA, and too many of them think they need to be THE star, instead of trying to be part of the team. Scottie Pippen was great with the ball and away from it. James Worthy was too. There are many more from an era that featured higher quality basketball where players learned how to play the game and didn't only refine their individual skills. [/QUOTE]
