Bennett Stirtz and Daniel Abreu have this ritual. Before every practice and every game—every half, in truth—the Drake Bulldogs teammates have to make three-point shots simultaneously. But it’s a bit more complicated than that.
Abreu has to toss a basketball to Stirtz, who already has one in his hands. Stirtz has to knock the ball back to Abreu using his basketball. Then they have to shoot it at the same time. And make it. Then it’s time to get on with the business of playing.
