Young fellas, especially PG’s listen to this. The ability to know who needs the ball and getting your team involved is a skill that can’t be taught. U have to be locked in and pay attention on the court. Either u have this or u don’t. #ELITE
Mike Conley on what basketball intelligence is to him.
(Really good long quote, on being a point guard)
“It’s an understanding of the game that’s a little bit deeper than just playing really fast… it’s a understanding of feel, like Donte has made 2 in a row, let’s get him his t had a shot in 5 possessions let’s get Ant a shot or how can I get him an easy bucket or decision making, you got a 3 on 1 fast break and you got one guy whose cold and you need him to get hot and you got another guy who has made a couple, you go hey let me try and get an easy one for the guy who hasn’t made a shot… if you have a high IQ you can kind of see the play develop, you know what’s going to happen and you can start talking your way in and out of situations”
