I've been scoring more and more in the post. to the point where my game is comming off screens for jumpers. or posting up. defenders are really jumpy in my age group(16), and the post is becoming uncommon, post defence isnt as good as i assume it once was. so once u figure out a few moves. it's easy to score. at least in my own experience
Friendly feedback: what's the point of the dr dish promoting? Of course you get money off it but i don't think there's going to be anyone amongst your viewers willing to pay 4000$ for it
Coach Nick: It seems, as I watch this video (see esp. at 3:55), that the split foot drop step has the player going away from the pass. In my experience (esp. this season with the post players I have), a reasonably quick defender will get a hand on those passes because the offensive post is going away from the ball which gives the defender an opening for a deflection. Shouldn't the post be hopping TOWARD the pass slightly? I'd be interested in your thoughts on this. Thanks. I enjoy the videos!
love the machine. but not sure if you can catch the post like that with both hands without the other ine sealing the defender. post scoring has diminished because post players were allowed catch the ball waaaay deep (one step/dribble from the paint), unlike jow where they are close to a meter away when they catch the post pass.
Although machines that pass the ball are good. Saying if you're alone and want to workout you can bring it with you...so I'm gonna drag that big thing that costs 4000 dollars to train my shots? Uhm maybe if I'm rich.
+BBALLBREAKDOWN I practiced the drop step with my left leg going back yesterday and going straight into a jumper or a pump fake & rip thru felt nice. (I'm right handed btw). But doing a right-foot drop-step messed me up. Any reason to train a right foot drop-step or just ignore that aspect?
Hey thank you for making this video because I really want to learn how to play basketball better i know if I watch this everyday I can get very good at it
Nice stuff coach, but why is he finishing underhanded instead of a overhand against the board? With an overhand, it's just a small flick of the wrist with an extended arm, almost a small hook move which a center will have all day after a rebound...
Coach can you do a vid on the streak of Boston and the Jazz if they continue their good play. Also who agrees that Gobert was a snub for the All Star game, he's been quietly leading his team to become a .500 team.
I’m a centre (in under 14’s) and I DOMINATE. Posting up for me is such an easy way to score. All you need to do is figure out your footwork trust me. I’m my teams main scorer because I’m so good in the post. It also helps to be big not as in tall but with weight you don’t want to be skinny or fat you just want to be solid.
Hi coach, can you make a video teaching player how to pass the ball into the post? Coz I found out most of the people playing on the street doesn't know how to pass the ball to the guy who is posting up, they either lob the ball too slow or pass the ball too low which tall guy is hard to catch and maintain the position in the same time.
I'm sorry, I love you, but you are crazy. Did you watch the whole thing? I haven't seen a video demonstrating attacking on the catch in the post. It's a vital skill and everyone should be working on this.
Coach Nick, on 1&2 (layup & jump shot) doesn't he have an extra step to work with? The split foot hop means the back one can be the pivot, doesn't he have two steps from there?
If I follow u, the back foot IS the pivot, so once he turns on it, he has to step thru. In Europe, they will do up and under and jump off 1 foot, but in us, they'll call a travel.
+BBALLBREAKDOWN Ronnie Nunn said (in that lebron video) that if you catch the ball in the air you have two steps. So if, on the hop, your player gets the ball in the air, everything is good. But if his feet are grounded when he catches the ball, either foot can be the 'grounded' foot? So when your player takes a single step more to do the layup, doesn't he have he ability to take one more step?
I'm 5'8" and still plan to use this before playing pickup tomorrow. This channel is phenomenal it sucks that talking heads like Steven A are on TV instead of real, knowledgeable coaches like this
ive actually never heard of the split catch from the post. very interesting and cant wait to actually try it out. ive never noticed but i tend to do split catch catching the ball on the perimeter. helps get into the drive and works really well for fake drives that i use for pull up jumpers
I learned this method of post-up from every coach I ever had. You know why? Because coaches are almost always lousy post players with limited skill in the paint. Even if coaches did have the skills, they aren't going to waste their time teaching the techniques to the least skilled players on the floor. If they were skilled, they'd probably be guards. Anyhow... if you are looking to learn post for real... look up a video of Hakeem Olajuwon teaching Dwight Howard how to move in the post. Dwight Howard never did apply what he learned in this video, but you can. In Olajuwon's method, you start with your back to the basket. You turn in to FACE UP YOUR DEFENDER, and then you post up. Why is this better? Ask a guard. It's called tripple threat for a reason. Shoot, dribble, pass. If you've got your back to the basket, you are limiting your ability to shoot and you can usually only see people to pass to that are farther from the basket than you are. Backing down defenders is unskilled post play.
Tell that to Dirk Nowitzki, Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Lemarcus Aldridge, Andrew Wiggins, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. There's absolutely no reason you can't go back to the basket when being pressed hard. Matter of fact, plenty of PG's do it when they are doubled at the three. They don't throw up a shot, but they DO go back to the basket... and some do it to get a deeper step into their cuts when they are being pressed. Back to the basket is SUPREMELY underrated.
You are an absolute clown. The ability to back down back to the basket is a lost art that all the greatest scorers utilizes. Even Kobe and Jordan had insane back to the basket games. Kareem the all time leading scorer did as well as Malone. It is the most unstoppable art in basketball when done correctly. The problem is that people like you think you are above it and do not understand the great complexities and counters that go into it. If more guards could do a proper post up it would help them as well as their team tremendously.
@@RobertSmith-ow5kf Back to the basket is fine FOR CATCHING THE BALL (and for quick moves on bad defenders). If you can get a shot with a single pivot step, have at it. Good luck to you. But if your offensive package ends there, you suck. The truth is, most defenders in the post can effectively guard a 1 pivot moveset. They back you up, wait for you to lift a foot, and react accordingly. That's why your Dwight Howards topped out at what their athleticism could get them, but your bigs with good footwork can dominate the league. I got a drill for you. If you dribble and jump to your right foot, you have several options. You can fade, fake-fade, pumpfake, you can wrap-around pass, jumpshot, offhand layup, offhand layup fake into stronghand layup, dreamshake, repost, hookshot, scoop shot under the defender/draw a foul, swipe through and create space, spin-move, kick-out, etc... (all without using another dribble). Next time you are practicing, the drill is very easy. Start off higher on the block, Take one dribble and as big of a step (jump off one foot) towards the deep paint as you can, and see what your options are there. Yes, you only have 3 seconds to act, but that's plenty of time, and you also put yourself in better rebounding position. This old-school Charles Barkley back-to-the-basket stuff is just not that effective... particularly if you don't have a massive size advantage. Hakeem rarely did this and for good reason. Because Hakeem could shoot. But if you can't shoot, by all means, do the regular post-up position... you don't have the skills for the more effective methods.
Malik Clowers why? It's a luxury and doesn't help with training much for a single person, also it is very immobile and takes up a lot of space which I'm sure there is not much in a home but there is plenty in a gym storage unit.
pimpekfun You can't compare a shot and a play type . The plays ran to get the three point shots look the same? Aren't the moves to create space are not different? Does Dirk Nowitzki's and Damian Lillard's 3 point game look the same? I know what you wanted to say but we aren't in the 80s. Keep in mind that a player that shoots 35% from 3 is more efficient than a year who shoots 50 from 2
