Small Ball. Guard City. The antithesis of big men crashing boards, blocking shots, and the bump and grind of muscling to get a shot up at the hoop. It’s a strategy of getting the opposite of what your opponent can defend. They go big and slow? You go small and fast. Foot speed, ball movement, anything to get the tempo of the game past the comfort zone of the opposition. Make them labor for breath, fight to cover real estate. If they build skyscrapers around the inner city real estate surrounding the hoop, dash to the suburbs and pummel them with treys from the perimeter.
