Grew up choking my chicken with my left hand. Something that major actually balanced out my hand equilibrium because people think I’m left handed how hard I go left I go left 75% time and right 25%
There's another video where Kyrie explains that he divides the entire backboard into 6 evenly sized squares. He then tries to hit different layups using all 6 of those areas. Therefore, no matter where he is in or around the paint and no matter how high the defender jumps, he can always shoot, spin, float it, lay it off the right part of the backboard.
I've always wondered about this, does practising more difficult finishes that you might not necessarily do in game help easier finishes in game become more consistent? I find that I am still missing easy lay ups in game but in training, the same type of shot I won't miss. For example in strength training we have 'general strength' training where it has a degree of transfer to all lifts compared to 'specific strength training' where we might focus on one lift only in the exact same way which might not have as much transfer to the other variations... Does skill acquisition work in the same way? Hope that made some sense.
Practicing more difficult finishes definitely can translate. But they can't be mindless. For example, I find overhand layups and shots with the left hand almost impossible. But they're very easy with the right hand. So I'll work on that. I'll identify the things I take for granted on the right hand and very thoughtfully try to make it symmetrical on the left side. From the dribble to the gather to the finish. Even the spot of the court I'm working from. I'll figure out what it looks like EXACTLY on the right hand and replicate it on the left. You'll find it much harder but also much more beneficial. It seems like it should be easier once you figure out how it actually works on the right hand, but it's harder because now you'll be doing things on the left side that you weren't ever practicing before. And don't just practice stationary left hand finishes. I've found that to be very debilitating. You HAVE to practice everything together. The steps into the layup, the gather, AND the finish all at once. Don't get caught in the trap of perfecting the "basics first" as in just the finish. You have to develop it all together. And it'll feel so weird and be very difficult, but it'll definitely be so much more beneficial
My theory is It's the same for both strength training and basketball practice, I don't even think you maintain skills when you mindlessly practice the same stuff. The brain has to be engaged and when it's not you become very good at getting into your own head and not being present. If you practice that over and over it becomes harder to get in the zone during a competition
what questions would like to ask him? I think I can deliver them in his dream. And please no more than four questions as of now my power can't allow anything above, so choose them wisely.
@@user-wj4db3qn2f oh i had it backwards, kyrie was forced to use his right hand (as in they would slap him when he tried his left) so he became ambidextrous
