“You can shoot a 1,000 shots and if it’s not your game shot it won’t translate.” Gil on the importance of training at game speed. Gilbert Arenas of the Gil’s Arena podcast has a deep breakdown on the importance of practicing at full speed or “game” speed for the NBA. Anyone can shoot when they aren’t running and squared up. So Chris Mullin his teammate at the Washington Wizards and Golden State Warriors told him that he needed to shoot after running full court. He went 0-10. That was a wake-up call to start attempting real in-game shots from here out.
Gil’s Arena every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.
