a what I'm trying to say it's a feel for the game that Americans have and they developed that through playing more free unstructured basketball yeah and

I mean even just through playing I mean look at how the AAU is structured like if someone can't shoot you don't guard them yeah you play his own I mean you play zones like you're 12 like 12 you like yeah 12 you know about right and so like you know I think guys hoop a lot guys they just play so many games I think they do have way more games over than anyone else too yeah

which you could

argue bad for your body but probably good for you as as a Hooper and figure and stuff out well if you're the best player and you take all the reps like it's great for you because you're out there doing it yeah the you know I forget

who was guarding you that day but I do remember yelling like at somebody like do you're blown you was messing the game up but it's just like bucket for Paul bucket for Paul pick out for three and I don't know who taught him to do that or why he couldn't figure out that like you know

give my man space is too yeah it dawned on me right away I was like oh he hasn't he hasn't hooped enough yeah he just thought that I get up in people yeah

yeah and it's also a mindset thing because I've worked with some teams from different countries and it was like don't do what's right do what's hard so like we got done with like an hour of training and the head coach came up to me and he was like that was just a warm-up right he was like being sarcastic he's like you got to go harder that was just a warm-up and I'm like no that's what they needed they needed stimulation not annihilation and they're used to like three hour strength and conditioning sessions push them until they're dead really and I'm like that's why your guys aren't getting more athletic is you have this mindset and yeah so I think a lot of other countries it's just like it's still that mindset of just go hard and that's all there is to it

yeah yeah I found that in other places as well and it is probably the reason I brought that up it's probably the same mindset of that kid

is he's like oh I'm getting blown by I'm gonna go harder I'm gonna guard him closer I'm gonna try harder no it doesn't

work like that it's funny little kids do that sometimes you ever notice little kids will do that yeah especially the like more feisty ones they think by getting closer and fouling you more that yeah you're less likely to score on

them right that's funny that's

funny well that pretty much sums it up I mean that was great conversation appreciate you coming out we'll definitely have you back for around two if you guys have questions let us know in the comments next time we do a podcast we'll address your questions I
