Sam Cassell - The Art of the Mid-Range

The mid-range game in a lot of ways is a lost art. With players abilities increasing in both three point shooting and getting to the rim, there aren't many players who specialize in mid-range jumpers anymore.

And although it may be a dying shot in the modern game of basketball, I felt this video from Cassell is still relevant.

He offers up a lot of great suggestions of ways to create space - and creating space can be applied anywhere on the basketball court. Take a look:



Living proof you don't need extroadinary quickness to thrive in the game of basketball.

If you've ever heard the term "wily veteran" or "cagey veteran", I'd have to believe that Cassell in this video is definition of those terms.
