Q: Hey Vince, what's up.. Love your game. I play college ball and was just
wondering what you thought was the biggest difference from H.S. to College
ball? Can you grow your hair out again?... looks so hot.
Jada from Toronto
A: Well, Jada, I must first say my hair won't grow like that anymore.
Age has now taken over in the hair department... Sorry. The biggest
difference from high school to college basketball would be the tempo
and the level of play. As I moved up each level, the players got bigger
and faster.
Q: Hey Vince, My basketball season just got over for my school team...
and uh, lets just say it wasn’t my best year by any means. I'm being
overshadowed by other players... not better players just others. There's
one kid on my team that has been the poster child since he was 8 everyone
pretty much worships him... and me .. I'm not looking for accolades, it
just brings a person down when all his peers talk about is this one player
and it sort of brings you down you know?... so I decided this summer to work
harder than ever... I’m not going to be overshadowed again, because I'm
ready to show people that I'm for real... as I said before... I didn't have
a very good basketball season... and my dad and sister said it looked like
my confidence is horrible... what do u think I could do to boost that
confidence? They said I need to shoot more because I'm the best shooter
out there I'm just not showing it. Should I?... I really don't know what
to do besides work HARD in the off-season and get more comfortable with
the ball what would you do? IF YOU COULD PLEASE RESPOND IT WOULD BE GREAT
thank you
Tanner from Idaho Falls, ID
A: Hi Tanner. I think you should continue to work very hard on your game.
Be the player that you are, but with as much perfection as possible.
Dedication and hard work will pay off. In time, your ability will shine
through. Be patient and continue to play ball. Trust me, people will notice.
Q: Let me first say I think you're the greatest basketball player ever.
But I have two serious questions I would like to ask you. One being if the
was anything in your life you could change what would it be? And the second
is I do a lot in my community like helping the elderly, reading to children,
and helping out in my church and most of the people I work with are under
privileged I just wanted to how would you as a role model can inspire someone
to want to more with their lives. I know you probably never get these kinds
of questions but I could really use your help because your kindness is one of
things that inspire me. Thank you
Heaven from Indianapolis
A: Hi Heaven. People tell me that I inspire them by what I do more than
by what I say. I suppose that fits into "talk is cheap" and "actions speak
louder than words." There isn't anything in my life I would want to change.
I believe you learn more from your failures than your successes. Therefore,
I take the bitter and the sweet. At the end of the day, it's all good.
Q: I'm a good player and my coach designs a lot of plays so I get the ball
but people call me a ball hog when I'm just doing what the coach tells me.
How can I earn their trust or should I just keep on doing what the coach
tells me or should I just ignore them. (Hope you reply).
Ryan from Findlay
A: Well Ryan, sometimes when you are the "go-to-guy", people label you the
"ball hog". Naturally, that person will have the ball in his/her hands most
of the time. The only thing I say to you is to make good decisions when you
have the ball in your hands. If someone is open and in scoring position, get
that person the ball. That's a sign of a "team leader." That's how you earn
your teammates' trust. Here's a little advice. Watch my NJ Nets teammate,
Jason Kidd. He knows how to "deliver" the rock!
