Tip of the Week

There are many basketball terms that sound like they have nothing to do with the game, but are actually very specific basketball terminology used as "lingo" in the game.

"The smile," for instance, is a 10-foot to 14-foot imaginary crescent on the basketball floor, outside the red zone. You can play defense behind a post player in the smile.
