I don't think this subject has ever come up before, but to what extent, if any, is the good footwork required in tennis a plus for defense in basketball?

No idea, but I remember one of our past guards, Toni Kokenis, had unusual footwork on defense that folks said came from her soccer background. She kept her feet always moving with lots of small steps.

Ironically, I had Toni in the back of my head when I was thinking about this.  She was always very easy to root for.

I’ll never forget the time Toni knocked a loose ball down court and towards the basket instead of grabbing it, and kept running down court and caught up to the ball. That’s when I started seeing her soccer skills come to play
