Although reason is important in basketball, emotion is also just as important in order to

be successful. A player may have all of the reason in the world but if he does not have

emotion he will have no motivation or passion to play the game. He will have no reason

why to play the game. Plus, if someone relies too much on reason then he will hesitate

before he makes any decisions. This is a problem in basketball because in order to be

effective you must be able to make decisions in a split of a second. Indecisiveness usually

results in a turnover, bad passes, or a bad decision. This is where emotion comes in to

play. Emotion helps a basketball player to react quickly. Using intuition and hours of

practice a player learns to act naturally or instinctively when certain situations present

themselves. If a player can channel his emotions he can use the energy he gains from

them to overpower less passionate opponents. Controlled passion is one aspect that

allows people to play at their highest level. I can tell when I am really passionate about a

game but am still under control. I play better. In fact, my best performances have come

when I have controlled but very strong emotions. However, I have to agree with the

James Lange Theory. When I am having a good shooting night and make 2 or 3 threes in

a row then my emotions become very strong and I continue to play well. However the

physical effects come first and then the emotions follow as a result of the physical action

of shooting very well, which is exactly what James Lange said. Emotion is very pertinent

if a player wants to play at a high level.
