When all these NBA stars were kids how hard do you think they practiced. You always here they practiced alone every day and walked to their court and stuff. But do you think as they where kids they lived on basketball. Like after school and homework and sports do you think they just played basketball for hours every day? Also do you think when they practiced they just shot around and did layups and got better a the basics or do you think they made sure the ran enough during practice and stuff? Basicly how hard do you think they practiced when they where in high school when the basketball season was going on. And do most people who have a desire to play basketball do AAU and tournaments when the season is over or do you think its fine that i practice every day alone till the b ball season comes up?

Probably ten times harder than the average kid. Most of these guys, especially those who became NBA superstars, literally ate and slept with a basketball while some did some outrageous things to develop their skills and their game. For instance, Pete Maravich would dribble from a window of a car running at 20 kmh. George Gervin befriended the janitor of his school so he could get the keys of the gym and practice alone on Christmas day. These kids who became legends incorporated their own practice regimen in addition to regular team practices.

Some players are given the God given talents. Look at D. J he had a big man hands at a 6'7 guard height. And those hands were sick. Some practiced all day during the off season. Bob Pettit. No one thought he could amount to anything. He end up winning tons of awards working his A** all day.

Well, the most important change isn't whether or not or no longer the adults are joyful, however instead how they act and engage with the youngsters. Adults may also be merciless. They can use and control the youngsters in opposition to the opposite guardian. They say matters approximately the opposite guardian that are meant to NEVER be mentioned. They battle and argue in entrance of the youngsters and assume the youngsters to take facets. I believe children CAN be k with divorce while the moms and dads are dedicated to the youngsters. When children realize that they're adored, trustworthy, and revered by means of their moms and dads, it may not rather subject that the moms and dads are living aside. Good Luck!

Like crazy all day every day. Pete Maravich practiced eight hours a day when he was a kid, but he was nuts. Most of the hard workers practiced about 4 hours a day, and when the weather got cold and snowy and stuff juist like an hour and whatever time they could get in in the gym.

Ask Allen Iverson about practice.
Practice?? We're talking about practice
