q people here arent optimistic about taking sports and education simultaneously whats your opiniona i think you can be equally good at both in spain i have seen people who have been equally successful at both i have seen players who have played at the highest level and at the same time have done well in academics i would never understand when parents said that their kids spent a lot of time practicing and thats why couldnt study there are 24 hours in a day and if you do a proper planning you can do both effectivelyq are substitutes not good playersa people in india think good players are the ones who shoot the ball this isnt true every position is important basketball is a team game you need to have good passers somebody who controls the team somebody who plays hard defence somebody who rebounds if you have only shooters you are not going to win anything because nobody is in the defence a team comprises 12 players and everyone has something to contribute whether he is playing or sitting on the benchq what strategies are needed to wina its difficult to explain it depends on the players you have you have to adjust accordingly what are their skills how they respond in pressure situations at which position they play at their best are things to be taken into consideration maybe you want to play the running game and if you have very tall players you cant do that i like to play hard defence and put height factor out the game play as fast as you can and have possession of the ball for 1520 seconds every time you need to be flexible and adapt techniques that suit your team better of course planning is important but you need to have back up plans as wellq which is your favourite nba teama my favourite is san antonio spurs they play the kind of basketball everyone wants to see they play as a team theres no selfishness when they need to shoot they shoot they do things whenever they are required to be done as i said basketball is a team game the players in that team normally know their roles and thats why they are so successful over the years they enjoy each others successq do you think big prize money and according celebrity status to players is affecting basketballa a lot you must play for the love of the game you must play if you have passion and not for the lure of money and fame money will come automatically once you start doing well but if you start getting it at a very early age say 1415 you will become lazy till that time you should only be focusing on the game and improving your skillsq how players can develop their staminaa you need to train a lot you should be able to control your diet and eat proper food you need to have proper strengthening
