What is THE most important tool in the game of basketball?

[I.V.]

Well.
If you have perfect size: there's no guarantee you can play.

If you have perfect athleticism, I guess they could make you 5 foot.

Same for perfect handles, perfect court vision, perfect defense.

Defense might actually be the best answer.

But I'm going to say perfect bank account - and I buy a team.



If you keep qualifying it with "oh but you could be 3 foot seven, or missing your leg" this question is impossible to answer. There's gotta be baseline, if everything else is 'average' - then you could maybe answer this with some kind of decency.

eyes bro you definitely gotta have eyes and palms

Not if you're 5'4".

Size is the correct answer to this question.

I wish there were a Kwame Brown alias to back up your assertion

Gotta have a high bball IQ. Look at Andre Miller. Has no athleticism or jump shot at all, still scoring in the league cause he knows how to use his body and run an offense. You can learn everything else

I think the ball and the net are perhaps as equally important.

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaw I'll roll with Ray Allen's jumper

Mid Range Jumper

 

[Guess Who]

Let me just say that I had defence, height, athleticism, passing ability, and a high basketball IQ...but wasn't able to do anything until I developed a wicked jumper from mid-range and behind the arc...so I'll vote jumpshot.
