There are many important aspects to think about to become a Basketball player, like learning the rules of the game in such a manner that they should be on the back of the player’s hand. Basketball is a physical as well as a mental sport. If a player lacks in even one of them then he must focus to make that area strong simultaneously as both are important aspects in the game.

Michael Jordon quoted “the best players are good scorers, good defensive players, and good team players”. In order to become a master of all the three aspects a player must be in great shape.
