If I suck at Connect 4, will playing more Connect 4 make me a better basketball player?

Yes. Connect 4 will drastically improve your ability to think ahead and predict the future, similar to reading the eyes in basketball and knowing if that guy is actually going to take the 3 or make you look like a fool when he dribbles around you jumping foolishly. Basically it will allow you to read minds which would be awfully helpful in basketball among other things.

Just be sure you don't burn out from too much Connect 4, stick to only an hour a day.

Maybe it won't help directly, but it could improve some imbalances in your game and prevent injury.

Who jumps to contest a 3pt FG?

Close-out under control. Get some sound fundamentals.

Maybe this guy does. I mean cmon, he already told us he sucks at Connect 4.

If you play more connect 4, you're probably just gonna get burnt more.

It depends. Do you think it will help your basketball? If yes, then its a definite yes.
