022 | Ball Hog or Team Player? Breaking Down the Basketball ‘Selfishness’ Debate
Ever been called a ball hog just for being aggressive? Or maybe you’ve held back in games because you didn’t want to seem selfish. Every player wrestles with that tension — wanting to help their team win and needing to stay confident and take their shot. So where’s the line between confidence and selfishness in basketball? In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest debates in the game: is being a score-first player selfish, or do you actually need that edge to succeed?
Coach David Morrell joins us to break down the “selfishness” conversation from both a player and coach’s perspective — and trust me, this one will challenge how you think about confidence, decision-making, and what truly helps your team win.
🎙️ Episode 22: Ball Hog or Team Player? Breaking Down the Basketball ‘Selfishness’ Debate
Release Date: October 8, 2025
Episode Type: Conversation / Coaching Q&A
🔑 Episode Highlights:
The truth about the “selfishness” label — and how to tell the difference between being selfish and being confident.
Why being too passive can actually hurt your team just as much as forcing shots.
How coaches can teach players the difference between good aggression and bad aggression.
Practical tips for becoming a confident decision-maker who balances being a scoring threat with unselfish play.
💬 Quote Worth Remembering:
“Being selfish is not the answer. Knowing how to play good basketball is the answer.”
