I don't even think SB is something that can be 'taught'


I used to be a fair shot blocker and while no-one ever spent one second teaching me to block shots you get a lot better with experience, reading the fakes, timing your jump, keeping the ball inbounds, not fouling etc. One thing that does matter that can be worked on is obviously your athletic ability. A higher and faster jumper will block more shots. Having long arms is something that can't.

so take the topic seriously and not discussing about the sense or nonsene of this thread.

If it makes no sense, it will die through the lack of activity.

Speed, Strength. These are things that at this point, are equal on all players it seems. I don't know about you guys, but I tend to find 5'11 people just a "wee" bit quicker than most 7' people. Likewise, I can't say I ever remember Mugsy Bogues ripping a rebound out of Patrick Ewings hands.

Speed can affect defense, driving, how often a player gets fouled, handling.
Strength effect rebounding, shot blocking, inside shot/defense


On top of that, what about some tactics like half-court traps, or 1-2-1-1 zones?
