1. 1,000 FT's per week
2. Go hang out in a big city--LA, DC, NYC, Detroit--and play pick up ball with the brothers for a couple weeks. Get in a few fist fights. You won't die. Learn what it takes to rebound in traffic. Nobody will be there to protect you--no ref's no coaches. But you'll survive.
3. Come back home for a month, find a personal coach to teach you some big man moves. Work on a drop step. Work on turning base line. Work on feeling where the defense is and rolling away from the D not into it because they cheat towards the middle every time and you never learn and always turn into the defender because all you know how to do is turn to the middle. Work on defensive positioning. Learn how to take advantage of your quickness, height, and strength on D and on O.
4. Spend a couple weeks in Philly, wearing a grimy, gray sweatsuit, doing situps, punching frozen beef, and drinking raw eggs.
5. See a sports pyschologist once a week that tells you gosh darn you're good enough as you are.
6. Practice with my high school coach who will tear you down, call you chicken shit when you play like it, but teach you how to play like a man.
7. Put your left hand on a burning stove. Just enough that it will take a few weeks to heal. Wrap it up for a few weeks and play right handed.
8. Spend four hours a day in a weight room.
9. Find the old Chinese master Uma Thurman went to in Kill Bill and spend a couple weeks under his tutelage.
10. NO PRACTICING 3-POINTERS. NO WORKING ON YOUR F'ING "PERIMETER" GAME. NO DRIBBLING.
