Dr. Dime’s NBA Top 10: Hustle Plays

October 20, 2008 – Dr. Dime

I don’t know about you, but I love player’s that show heart, determination, and grit. Especially when those players are star players that lead by example and get after it with passion. Everyone who played basketball at any level of competitiveness knows that coaches love a scrappy player. If you are currently unhappy with your level of P.T., there is no better way to get in your coaches good books then to hustle for every board, work for every stop, and dive for loose balls. In this edition of my Top 10′s, i’m bringing you video footage of some of my favorite NBA Hustle Plays.
