Kevin Durant and coaches discuss what separates great players from good ones. It's not just talent: you need game-speed reps under pressure, film study, consistent habits, and accountability after every game. These things take years to build.
All of us, when we get down to business, when we're in our routine, we're doing our work, there's a standard. Like, we're not just there to. If Coach said, Make 200 shots. No, no, it's 200. Game speed, pressure on the line, day after day after day. Just kids, I think they have to understand, like, it's not just the volume, it's not just the consistency, it's the approach.
But it's not just one or two or three things that make you a good basketball player, things you have to do to be a great basketball player. There's so much you got to retain and understand in order for you to get the full potential out of yourself. You know what I'm saying? And the research is a big part, in my opinion, of becoming a great basketball player. Who you. Who you listening to talk the game, what you watching, how you watching it, how you watching the film? You know what I'm saying? Are you researching old players and see what they did to understand the foundation they laid down for you?
Are you being real with yourself?
Are you being real with yourself when you watch film? Are you holding yourself accountable after games, right after the game? You know what I'm saying? So it's a lot of stuff you got to ask yourself.
And also they'll learn that as well over time. It's not going to happen day one to the kids out there. They'll learn how to train the right way. They'll learn how they can get the most out of their training, how to get the most out of their workouts.
