How can i become a better basketball player?

I dont really have any special tips but the fact that you LOVE basketball can get you better as long as you have that passion for the game you will continue to get better BUT you do have to practice all the time.....play basketball with people that is way better than you and that way you will get better....when you run, jog, or even walk you need to be dribbling a basketball....train as much as you can! Shoot from everywhere on the court when you practice, try to get in atleast 500 jumpshots a day but the #1 thing is you MENTALITY, DONT BACK DOWN FROM NO ONE....Never show that your tired..NEVER except the fact that another player or team is better than you, YOU PLAY TO BE THE BEST!!!! lol Thats a lil motivation for you...I love the game of basketball....and you can watch highlight tapes of your favorite B-Ball player and develop moves also! Good Luck and remember PLAY TO BE THE BEST, 2nd to no one.....
