Wiki: Federer also credits the range of sports he played as a child—he also played badminton and basketball—for his hand-eye coordination.
Roger, maybe the best tennis player ever, mixes basketball and tennis. We see this mix when Roger takes a passing lob and reverse slams it from a jump position. Sometim es I think he was a golfer at one time.
Where else have we heard basketball mixed with other play? Used to be the talk of the town when Bill Walsh coached Joe for the 49ers. The new kind of football, the west coast offense. It was always compared to basketball.
What it is all about? The short game with quick reverse motion and mis-direction. Magic Johnson perfected it for basketball. Why this sudden appearance? Is it sudden? Is this about new conditioning technology? Or this just about Magic Johnson moving sports?
