The Phoenix Suns Leandro Barbosa models himself after Steve Nash to the point where he regularly takes home DVDs of his teammate. "I watch the DVD of the game and then I watch it again. I want to learn and pick up as much stuff as I can from Steve," says Barbosa.
Barbosa goes against Steve Nash everyday in practice and plays alongside him in games, but yet that isn't enough. He goes home and studies game film of his backcourt partner. I think we can learn a lot from Barbosa. There are two main things that stand out to me.
#1 Barbosa who is a five year NBA veteran is humble enough to admit he doesnt know it all and wants to learn as much as he can from Nash.
#2 Barbosa goes home and studies game film to make himself better. There is a big difference between sitting down and watching a basketball game and sitting down and studying game film. Unfortunately not enough basketball players do this.
