Can we all sit down and have a conversation about Iso-basketball?
Iso-ball is the what happens when a coach schemes up play where you give your best player the ball and clear everyone out so your guy can get a bucket one on one OR attract the more defenders to open up a spot up shooter/slasher.
It's not a bad call it usually happens to when your primary play breaks down and you need you a "star" to bail you out so you at least get out of the shot clock with a decent attempt.
BUT - what happens with Iso-ball is a guys eyes get bigger than their stomachs and the feel they can score on the world and it may just turn to "hero-ball"
| 1. | Hero Ball | |||||||
A style of basketball played by a person with average or mediocre talent who nonetheless believes he is the second coming of Michael Jordan. It involves lots of ball-hogging, mindless spinning and jumping, and taking a bunch of highly contested fadeaway jumpers that almost never go in.
Oh great, looks like fat Lenny has decided to play hero ball now that he's in the game.
-Urban Dictionary
But never the less the BEST PLAY in my opinion is the "rope a dope" you can iso all you want but at the end of the game every one knows where the ball is going and what that player is going to do with BUT instead of taking a lame turn around fade away, you pass the ball to a cutter going to the rim or an open spot up shooter and let them have an uncontested bucket!!!
It's THAT SIMPLE, once you shake the urge to go HERO and make that play you go LEGEND!!
I'm not bagging on anybody, but I'll say this. Do you just want to be a good team? or Do you want to be a GREAT TEAM!
