If you read carefully, this is the next step beyond binary. Counting, linearity, into coordination dynamics. We're obsessed with agents, intent, beliefs, etc, this removes them. This exceeds the need for AI.

I think the best way to develop general basketball skills (dribbling, passing) is to play point guard. We've seen the incredible growth of Harden, Giannis etc. when they started playing point guard. I can also speak from personal experience that this was decisive. For basketball starters my suggestion is to use your weak hand for dribbling in warm-ups as much as possible.

To my shame I don't have any good tips for making baskets.
