Elijah Bryant, an NBA and EuroLeague champion, tells young players that basketball is a team sport. Focus on defense, energy, and communication instead of copying Stephen Curry's three-pointers. Find your niche with a gritty mentality, and the rest will follow.
Good morning, my name is Elijah Bryant, NBA champion and EuroLeague champion, and I want to tell all my young basketball players something. Basketball is a team sport, unlike golf, tennis. You need to be able to find a niche on your team in order to get on the floor, and most of the time that's defense. So young basketball players, I'm talking to you, stop worrying about all these crazy moves that Steph Curry's doing and James Harden and, and Jason Tatum. Get on the court by playing defense, energy, talking, all the little things. Be that junkyard dog, and maybe one day you'll be able to be that Jason Tatum. Peace and love.
