> But winning is not the same as getting better. A famous video game coach has a concept he calls the percentage play. Imagine him reviewing video game footage along with the player after the game. The player would make a successful play. The coach pauses the video and marks a mistake. "But it worked!" "It worked in this case. However, it only has a 20% chance of working (due to unreliable teammates, or the opponent making a mistake when they shouldn't). Have you considered this alternative line, which has a 60% chance of success? That's the percentage play." --- It's also a lesson about not applying NBA advice (where you can expect reliable teammates) to your casual basketball games.
