Quote by Red Auerbach

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are develop

Summary

This quote suggests that in basketball, similar to war, the emphasis is often initially placed on developing strong offensive strategies and techniques. Just as new weapons and tactics are created in warfare, teams work to create and refine offensive plays to score points effectively. However, it takes time for the opposing team's defense to adapt and find ways to counter these offensive tactics. Eventually, the defense catches up by developing defensive strategies and techniques to safeguard against the offensive onslaught.
