I don't understand why people always pick on him. The author of the video says it's useless to do stationary dribbling drills but many professional players do the same stationary exercise as Julian Newman like Kyrie, Stephen curry etc... whether with tennis balls, blindfolded, one or two balls.
Stationary dribbles are not meant to help you with handles that much, it is just so you can build muscle memory and control on where the ball when dribbling.
exactly!!! It basically builds a string on your ball, obviously rhythm is so important but making your self comfortable with the ball is the key foundation...this dude just using Newman to hate, I don't like him at all but he is a great ball handler obviously, his stationary drill in this vid is also very effective, tried that before and I've felt so confident with the ball, you'll also feel that shiftiness even tho you're just standing in your drill...thsi dude also just said Luka is literally the slowest player kn the league, he simply don't know what he's talking about
FACTS. when you have rhythm and tempo you’ll see yourself controlling the pace of the game more often than not. once you have that down then your opponent will be at your mercy and you will naturally be able to express your creativity on them. i rarely ever practiced a move that required more than three dribbles. if i couldn’t get you off me, then i’d reset it to whichever the situation calls for been hooping for 22 years
When I used to be obsessed with those and1 streetball mixtapes with amazing ball handlers, I used to dribble to a beat to a song to make my handles real good. It really helped me.
Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. d
Stationary got my handle elite then I did moving stuff got even better now I do the more free and creative stuff while still doing some stationary I think Newman has a very good handle just never learned how to use it
@@iamcamcampbell but you didn't really debunk anything. Just because you wont use a stationary dribble in game doesn't mean it wont help you improve ball handling in general. They serve two different purposes
Thank you bro. Your right. Dribbling is to move closer to the basket and push a defender off of you. Dribbling in the same position does nothing. If you do that in a game the defender will be on you the whole ENTIRE time.
Haha. The orle that hate on him are funny as hell. You can't even deny that he had a lit high school experience. Y'all sound jealous as heck when you hate on him. If he never makes it to a paid basketball league look at all the bank he produced on just going to high school. He like 18 or 19. The hate is I'll place. Weak sauce really.
Watch til the end! Notice his slightly lowered gaze as he depends on his peripheral vision to keep a tight handle. He would not be seeing the whole court. .... this is just bad advice generally. It doesn't matter if it works for kyrie the way kyrie does it. The best thing I've done to improve my handles is dribbling with two balls with my eyes closed. Nothing fancy, just hard dribbles as straight up and down as you can and don't open your eyes until you lose a ball completely. When you start to lose it, dont panic. Keep eyes closed and go find it. The hardest thing I have had to overcome is my subconscious dependence on seeing the ball in my hand peripherally. Take away your sight. Force yourself to get a FEEL for the ball, and you'll put it on a string like a yoyo. The fancy stuff will then come naturally. That kid he put a red X on clearly has WAY better handles than him, so make your own judgment about whether this is actual advice or merely "influencing" (i.e. making money by bullshitting people)
I'd have to disagree slightly. Stationary drills do help your handle. The purpose of stationary drills is to help develop your overall power, feel, and control of the ball. Pretty much every NBA player, including Kyrie, have some sort of stationary drills built in to their workout. In fact, nearly every high level guard at every level has some sort of stationary drills built into the beginning of their workout. I don't know a single high level guard that doesn't use some form of stationary drills. Of course, these can't be the only ball handling drills within your workout. As you stated, you have to have time allotted for game moves at game speed, as well. Your mistake is misunderstanding the purpose of stationary drills. The purpose of stationary drills is to help develop power, coordination, high ball and hand time, cuffing ability, emphasis on proper biomechanics, ability to handle the ball outside the hip and at extremes of arm length, and overall feel for the ball. They're also a great way to warm up and prime the nervous system, cerebellum, and rotator cuffs for their intended sport specific proprioceptive activity. In addition, they help you understand what a ball does when force is applied to it in different ways and where to expect the ball to be when you do something to it. It gets you comfortable. As I stated before, they should never be the staple or only ball handling drills a player does, but as long as they'r performing in a solid, targeted and deliberate practice manner, they absolutely do have tremendous benefits for players. A player who does a bit of stationary drills at the beginning of practice IN ADDITION to drills involving deliberate game moves at game speed in different game situations, will be superior to a player who only does one or the other. Players should only be dedicating about 10-15 minutes to stationary drills. Your example of Julian Newman is flawed, because the reason Julian Newman isn't a good ball handler is specifically due to the fact that he doesn't train for first step game situations where he has to move with the ball and cover space. Those sort of situations require lateral ball handling ability at the extremes of arm flexion, as well as high ball in hand time (Which, ironically, are emphasized by certain stationary drills.) He also doesn't include stationary drills that train high ball in hand time, lateral movement, or cuffing ability within his stationary ball handling like most high level guards do. Also, there are certain stationary drills where you do want to focus and emphasize dribbling as hard as you can, and other where you focus on different rythmatic progression, fluctuations and alterations of speed, etc. Again, your video entirely misunderstands the purpose of stationary drills and how to properly implement them within a holistic program. A proper science based training program will have specific time allotted for BOTH of them, not making arbitrary distinctions that overlook the sole intention of the drills and lack knowledge of the variety and plethora of ways to progressively implement them within a program, while selecting one over the other. Your video makes vague blanket statements that completely overlook any nuance or research, and it's self refuting because Kyrie, himself, has a small amount of time allotted for stationary drills in his workout. Social media is great because players have access to information, but it's also a double edged sword because players are swarmed with a flood of mediocre, nonscientific, and poor information as well. For any players watching this, stick to highly credentialed, science based trainers with extensive educational background in sports science, as well as extensive experience training and developing hundreds of players to a D1 level that allow them to have a large sample sizes and datasets to work from (PJF Performance, Jason Otter, Damin Altizer, etc.) Trying to include random RU-vid videos to your training without any sort of formalized training structure or science based plan, put together by both skills trainers and strength coaches with extensive educational background in sports science, is like playing Russian Roulette with your game and overall development.
@@myjciskate4 i have a problem where I good at handling the ball, ive worked on handles but when it comes to me bringing the ball down the court and beating my opponent in front of me to get to the rim I can’t. I can do all the stationioary drills but it still doesn’t help any tips on that also not losing control of the ball?
@@myjciskate4 like for example it’s like giving some a basketball who is mildly good, give them all the dribble pound stationioary moves, pound to behind the back and etc etc but when it comes to someone playing your perimeter u can’t get past them ( example)
Yessir. A lot of hoopers nowadays only try when they’re being watched. This truly boosts your confidence bcuz when nobody believes in you (atmosphere) you’ll always do your thing and stand out.
All I had was a handle and defense 😭. So yea I can def confirm imagining scenarios and just constantly playing them out helps your handle alot. My go to on the move was a crossover into a between the legs idk why but that move gave me the most space to drive or break my defender down.
stationary stuff can help w lots of things. hand eye coordination, dribbling speed, etc. not everything has to be games specific, but game specific should always be i the picture
Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. d
I think you need both. If you have good footwork and flow but no ball control your at a major disadvantage. Stationary drill are good for developing ball control. Expand your workouts people do different things to become a complete player
Stationary drills aren’t for shiftiness or tight handles, it’s building the fundamentals and muscle memory. You have to move if you are looking to improve your handles
I think it’s easy to say “stationary dribbling drills don’t help” but they provide you the foundation to be able to practice the creativity. If you can’t handle the ball sufficiently or can’t go between your legs or w.e then you have to build you foundation. You need both.
@@iamcamcampbell prob not. My point was that you can’t get to the point where you are working on creative ball handling until you can handle the ball well enough to practice it. Stationary drills and two ball drills etc have their place in building the foundation that allows you to move on to this kinda work. That’s why I disagree that those drills “don’t help.”
Yea when i’m dribbling I don’t stay stationary i move around alot and shift my feet alot and just be creative mix up the moves and most importantly dribble at my pace
Handles for me is just calming down the offense and not rushing handles like Julian. Float around and do lazy handles and suddenly sprint right when you hear that ball hit the floor is my favorite move to catch mfs lacking
Also have real control over both hands, Kyrie was born a lefty but was forced to write with his right hand in school. This made him have good control and coordination in both hands.
I totally disagree. Stationary drills (like 5 or 10 minutes like Curry ones) is the key to improve your handles, you need total control of the ball while dribbling and you got it with stationary drills. You only need to master a few "crossovers" and thats all, of course if you are poor bball iq like Julian Newman it won't work. Just keep playing and you will improve, you also need to be somewhat quick. If you are quick, most crossover became useless as you learn to freeze defenders.
I agree dribbling drills don't do much for me as far as improving my moves.. but it do help with coordination.. ive crosses quite a few ppl with limited handles
@@iamcamcampbell And the purpose of stationary drills have specific points of emphasis. They're not meant to mimic a game situation, but to develop specific skills that give you security and feel for the ball when you do practice those movements and game situations. The logic is flawed. That's like saying lifting weights doesn't help because you never lift weights in a game. Also, Kyrie, Luka, every NBA player, Overseas pros, and every high level division 1 player, have some form of stationary dribbling built into their program. You misunderstand the point of stationary drills.
@@myjciskate4 well at least two people in this thread not hating on an 18 year old kid. People on the internet lost the in the sauce. Like my man just got out of highschool.
It’s hilarious how he’s like “his dribbles took him nowhere” then he proceeds to use useless dribbles in a drill too 💀💀💀bro YOU ALSO aren’t going anywhere near hard enough to transfer these skills to a realistic game scenario 🤣🤣 slander Newman if you want but you’re literally not shifty at all with any of that.
Jesus loves you. He died for you that you may live. He gives all who trust in Him rest. He saves you from the pain of this world, giving you hope. Repent, trust, and believe in Jesus and be saved.
Believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved..Be baptized and repent of your sins. Repent simply means to turn away from your sins. God loves you and so do I. amen
Kyrie handles really ain’t all that tho if u really pay attention. Iverson had better handles He uses 75%of the shot clock and teammates stand and watch
For me its about controlling the speed of the movement like how to decrease and increase speed to pause the defender and to sell the timing of movements
The absolute MOST important thing about having elite handles or breakdown ability isn't the handles. It's all footwork. If you can find the different rhythms to shift your weight laterally, explode north, and stop on a dime, then the dribble moves get easier and more efficient. Everyone has a unique rhythm, but you find what works for you and run with it. From Kyrie to Luka.
One thing most people don't do is that they don't move from side to side or front and back, that keeps the defender guessing, most just stay in one place and just try doing dribble moves
I feel like you should mix stationary dribbling with dribbling that uses movement. Stationary dribbling is more for ball control and being able to get the ball on the string and for those that haven’t dribbled a basketball before. But all levels could do it. If you mix that in with dribbling use for movement then your good to go
Dribble drills don’t help dribbling near as much as just freestyle dribbling does, get used to you and the ball to the point it feels like it’s a part of you, like it’s attached to a string
I agree slightly. Stationary drills do actually help a lot. Kyrie even does it. What I do agree with is that imagination and drills tapping into that is also very important
@@iamcamcampbell you can go stationary to moving. It’s a combination a lot of the time. Plus, when are you going to shoot 10 free throws in a row non-stop? Feel me?
