The best basketball on Earth isn't played in the NBA Finals, the FIBA World Cup, the Olympics, or Rucker Park; it's played at UCLA during the summer, where the best NBA players play ruthless and relentless pickup games by invite only.
These guys play basketball. They've played year-round their entire life. Yeah, guys who've played 105 games by going to the Finals will need a longer blow than others, but aside from that, you're going to find them on a basketball court.
