The most surprising part of learning nba that actually stuck

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Basketball feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

The detail that surprised me was how much a tiny balcony changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
