Why speed is important in basketballSentences created for your graffiti posters / group responses

If I am faster than my opponent, I can move away from them, and into space to receive a pass. This makes it easier for my teammates to pass to me because there is less chance of an interception.

As a team we are faster than the opposition. This means we can break up court before they get back and set-up their defence. This allows us to score easily with an unopposed lay-up.

I can dribble faster than my opponent, meaning I am able to dribble to the basket and score with an unopposed lay-up.

I am faster than my opponent. This means that when we loose possession of the ball, I can get back and help set up our defence. This makes it more difficult for the opposition to score.
