Carter Bryant on the NBA: 'You can't survive if you don't have a short-term memory in this league'

Carter Bryant, an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs, emphasizes the importance of having a short-term memory in the NBA during a recent interview. He believes that the ability to quickly move on from mistakes, such as giving up baskets or making assignments errors, is crucial for success in the league. Bryant highlights the need to adopt a "next-play mentality," understanding that the players he is defending are the best in the world and should be expected to make tough shots.

He stresses that one should play defense to the best of their abilities, accepting that if the player makes the shot, it is a testament to their skill and the money they are earning. Bryant's insights were first reported by Yahoo Sports.
