NO BANANA DRIVES! Angles to the Rim - There are key angles and pathways on the court. We call them boost pads, portals or wormholes. On TV, you may hear the announcer say a player was able to "get to their spot". The key to getting to your spots on the floor is to cover a lot of ground per dribble. This is even more important when going past a defender or creating space. Banana Drives means you are curving around the D when you should instead be blowing past your defender.
