What I wish ESPN would do

During  basketball season, have a feature each week of something like "Great Hidden Plays." Then have some knowledgeable coach look at the films and pick out some plays that would not be noticed by the average fan, but that win games. Things like blocking out, taking charges, denying the ball to the player you are guarding, making smart but not spectacular passes, etc. ESPN has done more than anyone to glorify the sensational and trivialize the everyday, and it the everyday things that makes good basketball.
