In basketball, there’s a position called triple threat.
A player receives a pass, plants his feet firm and wide, and holds the basketball with both hands at waist level.
This position gives the player flexibility to dribble, pass, or shoot the ball depending what the situation calls for.
If you are ever unsure of what to do under any circumstances, remember these three options always available to you:
Sometimes it makes sense to dribble the ball, move around the court, and survey from a new perspective.
Sometimes it is wise to pass the ball to others, generate new opportunities, and let the game flow.
And sometimes you just have to take the shot.
