"I've seen too many players who never improve because they think they've got it made. What they do well, they enjoy doing, naturally, so that's what they practice, sort of showing off, like a great hook-shooter who spends all day shooting hooks.
I've seen too many players who won't practice what they don't do well, because they're afraid of showing these faults, of being embarrassed by them. I always practiced ball-handling rather than shooting because I needed ball-handling practice more than I needed shooting practice."
- Jerry West

West averaged 27 ppg over 14 seasons with the Lakers.
