I would like to second your point that soccer is a great complementary sport for hoops. Beyond me, Malcolm Gladwell also endorses multiple sports when young. In the teenage years, specialization may not be a good thing. That can come later. Not only do multiple sports teach you lessons you would never otherwise learn (both physical and psychological), but they may also reduce the chance of injury by not repeating the same motion over and over again.

I know this is a favorite theme of yours, but I don't think it can be repeated enough.

By the way Malcolm Gladwell, in his fifties, can still run a 5 minute mile.
