What Is a Good Basketball Play?

If you’ve followed the Thunder for more than two days, you’ve become accustomed to hearing the same six quotes out of players, coaches and the front office. One of Coach Scott Brooks’ preferred lines in post-game press conferences is “good basketball play” or “winning basketball plays.”

At this morning’s shoot-around, when asked by Thunder color commentator Grant Long, Brooks gave his definition of what he deems a good basketball play.

Attack, be aggressive, but if you don’t have it for yourself look for your teammate and trust him that he’s going to do the same thing. And if you do that, that offensive unselfishness becomes contagious and that’s when we’re good because we can use our athletic ability, we can use our shot selection to our advantage.”
