It is not what you do, but what you stop doing that matters.
To get paid to play a game I love was enough for me, no matter what the rules were.

You can't think about basketball or you ruin your game. It is an instinctive game.
I've heard the joke a million times that "Jews in Sports" must be the thinnest book in the world. Actually, I've seen a lot of great players working at the Maccabi Games.

A basketball diameter is 10 inches and a rim is 18 inches so I made a 14-inch rim I put in to practice on. Few people could do that because it was so frustrating that it drove everyone but me nuts.
