You have the ball and see a lane to get to the basket. With a dribble or two, you cradle the ball and tense your muscles to attack the rim. Exploding with maximum force, you elevate and trow it down with such force, your defenders lean back out of the way and try avoiding being your next highlight reel victims. You land to hears gasps and get looks of awe from the spectators, who will never forget your face after what you just did. There are many facets to the game of basketball. But we all know -- being able to play and finish above the rim will make you stand out from all the others in a way that no other skill can. And, an athletic basketball player can make him or herself stand out faster and better than a player with any other skill. People like to see the show an athletic player can out on at any moment. You're the one they will line up to watch. So let's get you playing above the rim. You'll only come down when and if you want to.
