When you are not an offensive player, be a defensive player?

I practice by throwing wadded up paper towels into the office trash bin!

It could be worse, kid. You could be a benchwarmer.

“An’ there ain’t a man alive that can beat Bill Russell.”

Defense wins championships in football (American) , not sure about basketball.

At Jo-Jo’s age, all he sees is that the ones making the shots are the ones getting the cheers.

and he can use Mo Cheeks as an example, former Philly great or Bobby Jones another Philly great

Jojo, don’t shrug off a guy who has more championships than Michael Jordan and Lebron James COMBINED!

And if you play offence, be offensive as heck !

Jo Jo would be a lousy shot blocker so far.

And Russell was his own coach, so he wasn’t going to yell at himself

“William Felton Russell (February 12, 1934 – July 31, 2022) was an American professional basketball player who played center for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 1956 to 1969. He was the centerpiece of the Celtics dynasty that won 11 NBA championships during his 13-year career. Russell is widely considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time. "

In Gordon R. Dickson’s book The Tactics Of Mistake, he made the point that the winner makes the other side make the most mistakes for them to lose.
