Basketball simulation games
« on: Tue, 11 September 2012, 11:54:08 »
My 12-year-old son has started a basketball workshop, and he is just a beginner/novice.

Are there any good free or cheap computer games that he can play, either download or online, that would help him understand strategy and timing?

PS - in a way this is stupid because the whole idea of signing him up was to get him up and out and off the computer!

“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

Just show him old clips of the Bulls during their 3-peat x2 years =)  Lots of good pick and roll, role players, the best basketball players of all time, etc.  YouTube can teach anything!

"Watch" is the problem here.

He needs to have to "Do Something" at least.
