The flow. Yeah. Knowing you could step on the court and make it happen. You practiced, sure. But then, when you walked out there, you could just go. You could flow, that was it: you created and you didn't totally know how. You just knew you could, so you did. It wasn't thinking and it wasn't imitating somebody else's moves, though you always looked carefully when you watched good players play. But when you played.. it was something you couldn't explain. Neal used to know. It didn't come from thinking about it. Doug Wilhelm
About This Quote

The flow is the sense of ease and enjoyment that comes from being able to play your best basketball. You don't think about it, you just do what feels good. It's not something that you learn. If you're not playing well your coach will tell you, but if you're on a team with good players then they will feed off of each other. Sometimes it's just knowing, just getting out there and playing because you know that if you're not doing it right then someone else will and they'll take the ball and do it better than you would have done it yourself.
