They experience it in relation to one another on the floor at a particular time and in the middle of the action. It is one of the nuances of the game of basketball. As Knick teammates during those years, we knew what a teammate was going to do almost before he did it. We helped one another on defense and shared the ball on offense. We made room for each of us to be his best within the context of the team. For example, I often would see Clyde come down the floor with the ball. I'd catch his eye. I knew he wanted to go down my side of the floor. In order to give him a little more room to move, I would clear out. That way I didn't clog up his space. Or, when I had the ball on the side and he was at the top of the key, waiting to go backdoor, our center knew he had to move to the other side of the floor to create the room for the backdoor bounce pass from me to Clyde who was moving down the lane toward the basket. That was the game within the game. On one level, the game within the game was a matter of mechanics but is also operated on a psychological level in that we truly were all for one and one for all. We challenged one another in practice to become better. We helped one another come back from defeat. We inspired one another to reach our peak team performance. None of us felt we could be as good alone as all of us could be together. Our unity came sometimes with laughs, sometimes with conflicts, sometimes with moments of collective insight, but it was that spirit of camaraderie which brought us together in a way that allowed the fans to see something very special.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Walt Frazier" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/walt-frazier/the-game-within-the-game-is-the-game-that-only-the-players-see-they/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ce6/walt-frazier-28230_basketball_the-game-within-the-game-is-the-game-tha_64581.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ce6/walt-frazier-28230_basketball_the-game-within-the-game-is-the-game-tha_64581.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ce6/walt-frazier-28230_basketball_the-game-within-the-game-is-the-game-tha_64581.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The game within the game is the game that only the players see.
