Getting the hard parts right is not what makes a pro; a pro is someone who makes the easy parts look easy.

“The mark of a professional is not taking the difficult parts, but taking the easy parts easily.”

This picture is from the basketball manga Slam Dunk.

The so-called absolute champion, Fukatsu from Sannou Industries High School.

The protagonist makes a flashy shot, but Fukatsu then reliably scores an up-and-under layup with a high shooting success rate and returns the ball.

Whether the shot is difficult or easy, it’s still two points.

This seems to be a scene that symbolizes strength of the absolute champion.

“The mark of a professional is not taking the difficult parts, but taking the easy parts easily.”

So, where are the easy parts?
