Attention to Detail on Jrue Holiday?? he’s one of the most underrated scorers and defenders in the game in my opinion but he gets overlooked because he’s not so flashy.
Hip mobility is really important to get low. If you start playing at a young age you can easily get low, but at an older age it's really important to do mobility and stability exercises
best basketball page ever dawg. been watching y'all since i was in high school trying to make it to the nba. please make a video for guys that played in high school but still want to go the pro route. where it be g league, overseas, nba etc.. like so he can see this because i'm gonna get back into the gym and try to walk-on @ Rutgers
The first detail of relaxation lit my light-bulb, that really changed everything, change of pace is really just us relaxing and tensing our muscles and body and switching between a tense and relaxed state.
I always felt weird when I get down to the earth to do crossovers though I’m passing defenders left and right.. I feel better about myself now.. thanks brother 🙌 I needed this video
As a big man who's able to just about perform any and every post move but is tryna expand his game on out at the parks and gyms man the timing of this video is PERFECT dude thank you!!
Dude thank you so much. I can’t even explain how much this helped me. I work on dribbling all the time and my handles are great but for whatever reason it just never translated to game time ball handling. Like I could handle the ball I could just never do anything with it. I finally understand why. This is literally mind blowing for me 😂
Great and very informative content. Tried the holds and it felt difficult. Shows how strong these players are doing this night in night out. It feels much more stressful on the knees. But with more strength and balance training it should get better.
4:05 is sooooooo true. I taught myself how to play basketball. Got absolutely obsessed freshman to sophomore years of college. Tore my meniscus while warming up, had to wait 6 months to get back into basketball like I did pre-injury. A year later after cooking people like I used to I started to get busier with work & senior year school work and put on about 10/15 extra pounds. I kept trying to play the game as I did pre-injury while I was putting on more weight - the bad kind. Eventually I had a really bad ankle sprain and it happened about a week before the gym I went to closed for a 3 month renovation. When that renovation ended I went back to hooping started getting cooked by other people... a lot... I was 25 pounds _heavier_ than I was 3 months ago. I eventually I hit the weight room to work on getting back to the weight I was pre-injury (ultimately 10 pounds more than pre-injury) and my game started to go back to cooking people instead of being cooked. Now that covid hit pause on everything I'll have to do most of that work again, but now I know how to do it safely. I love this channel details make all the difference and I love it for that reason.
This is something I’m always teaching/sharing with players. I refer to it as levels. All running is a type of falling and driving a basketball even more so. Our shoulders act as a brake/balance so like if they are even or behind our hips it’s fucking impossible to accelerate. We want our shoulders in front of our hips and feet with our body on a diagonal plane when accelerating on drives. Also when your shoulders are back you’re on your heels as opposed to toes so there is no locomotion/force in your steps pushing off...
So ironic. I was trying to “get low” for my dribble pull up to fake defenders out. And in the middle of me practicing I get a notification on this vid. Great timing and thanks for the help.
It's curious the things players need to be able to do which require strength and some that require relaxation and simple mobility. Relax, let yourself drop, but then be able to hold that and swivel to go in another direction. These are amazing to see and a big part of pro ball. In college there are far fewer players who do them well or need to.
If y’all wanna learn how to get low head over to Micah Lancaster Impossible training on RU-vid MXLT he’s great at teach in game footwork that’s helped me get to where I want on the court and also watching These guys here
Attention to Detail Larry Bird & or Paul Pierce & Joe Johnson too. The basketball IQ Larry Bird had was different fr he literally was telling niggas wat he was about to do and then did it and they couldn't do it. With Paul Pierce, he was smooth w the ball and knew how to get to his spot on the floor and regardless of his lack of atlanticism, he still could give anybody 25 to 30 tho 🤷🏽♂️
I play football ⚽️ as I’m from the UK but I still watch your videos since the athleticism in basketball can certainly help in football. I just wanted ask how would I incorporate mobility work with ball control drills as a footballer such as the drill shown at 2:46
I don´t understand why isometric should be used to get strength, cause I will "hold" that position only a split second. Would squads and plyometrics be a good alternative?
Can you put up a video about playing with your back facing the basket? I think its important to teach players how to eliminate defenders that love to hand check
