"But its even more important to practice intelligently, and work on the areas of your game that need the most work. From the time I was old enough to get out on a court, I practiced endless hours to develop my game. Then Id play against the strongest opponents I could find in order to see where I still needed improvement. My book shows you how to improve your shooting, passing, dribbling, rebounding, defense, and court movement through intelligent practice. Youll also learn how important mental and physical conditioning are to developing self-confidence and a winning attitude." How to order:
