My Shooting Development Pyramid
The Coach Dave Love Podcast
Honoring the Hot Streak
- When a basketball player gets hot and is on a winning streak, they should "treat it well" and not take low-probability shots.
- Avoid "heat check" shots (e.g., fading away from 38 feet) to prolong the hot streak.
- Don't remind your body of bad habits or things you're trying to avoid just to prove how hot you are, as this can break the streak.
- This advice is similar to a scene in the movie Bull Durham, where Crash Davis tells Nuke LaLoosh to "honor the streak".
- "Honoring the streak" means respecting the positive momentum and not jeopardizing it with risky plays.
