Kobe dropping world changing gems from the grave like “set ball screens and work extra hard off the all as a guard so everyone can get open.” That’s the difference for Steph and Stockton besides their obvious skills. Screen everyone and screen hard. Either your teammates getting a dunk or you’re getting a jumper. That’s the big lesson I heard.

It’s a shame he’s gone so he couldn’t push that further because that’s the real key. Instead, giys still think iso iso spin spin pump fake pump fake pump fake spin shoot is the way, when Kobe wanted everyone to be what Steph was becoming. See the game. Play the game. Transcend. He sent so many guys clips of steph doing the same backscreen stuff begging them to get into the off ball actions. He knew.

@@brandonkei1170Raw room is entertaining. Special aint the word. Special is the few pods like Gil’s that intelligently let the fans peak into the minds of some of the most elite professional athletes to ever play their sport. Gils pod, Podcast P, Shooter and the 3 and knuckleheadz give fans an unprecedented amount of info and a true intimate feel for the game in the way they see and experience it. The pivot is the most special at letting the viewers get a true look at athletes as people and the emotions that coincide with being a professional athlete. Raw Room is dope but it aint on the level of the pods i just named.

One of the best episodes. He mentioned becoming more efficient that is only available to the top players. When the game slows down only then can you work on becoming efficient.
