The ONLY Post Move You'll EVER Need 

Absolutely, this was so enlightening. Wish I knew some of this when I played the post. Will work with my nephew when he is ready

Bro it’s so crazy the level of skill/fundamental videos kids have available. I’m only 28 but most videos when I was growing up only consisted of highlight mixes. Man this is bless

without doing it, just watching it, you learned NOTHING. you have to try it over and over again.

@@JESUS_CHRIST_777_GOD I talk about learning and knowledge, but as for doing it, I agree with you 100%.

And before someone comes in here talking about "bUT He sCOred", no he didn't. He passed it out

Boogie is a brick wall. That pic was the moment KAT gave up on posting up and started only draining threes 😂

Wish u accept Jesus Christ as your Savior so u can go to heaven after this life. God doesn't expect you to be perfect nor sinless. He just wants u to believe in Him as your Savior for your sins so u can go to heaven after this life.

😂😂😂😂

The title is just there as clickbait to get people to watch

@@YangiTheCat It's clickbait for sure. But also kind of true. It is the only post move I personally use. And almost the only post move I teach when I'm training. I teach in 90% cases pass out of the post. Unless there is no help and your man presses up or leans on you. So the title is pretty true. In my opinion at least. Other post moves where you back down, turn around fades, and face up midrange shots aren't efficient shots.

does a fadeaway count as a middle move?

@@CoachFrikki I wholeheartedly agree about the "pass out" option as the first option, coach. In my younger day, I tried to be a Kevin McHale-type black hole and only looked to score in the post (even against double teams!). But as I got older, I started to understand how to play the post. My main two takeaways: 1. Most great post players had/have a reliable mid-range jump shot or hook that they could shoot over either shoulder. Having a good go-to shot opens up so much space and so many options. Bullying your way for a layup or using strong drop-step layup works as a go-to move only up to a certain level. You need a good jump shot and jump hook to really open things up once your power game gets neutralized. Kevin McHale's "unstoppable" moves wasn't due to his footwork. It was due to McHale being able to make his fallaway or hook shots 80% of the time if the defender didn't contest them. He made them "pick their poison": let him shoot his automatic jump shot uncontested, or contest the jump shot and fall victim to his pump fakes. 2. The post is mainly a playmaking spot, not just a scoring spot. Being a threat to pass will open up more space to score. Look at Kareem in his old Laker years. He was posting up on the right block and shooting a baseline skyhook over his left shoulder over 70% of the time he got the ball in that spot. Why was he so effective despite using the same move over and over again? (a) He always looked to pass to cutters and shooters on the opposite elbow. (b) He would always swing a fake into the middle to open up more space for his baseline skyhook. Shaq was a great playmaker from the post. He preferred the left block, and was always a threat to make that bounce pass to cutters. This, combined with his go-to jump shot in the lane, allowed him to create space for his drop step layups and dunks. Zion Williamson has no reliable jump shot at the moment (from anywhere on the court). Yet, he can create so much space for his drives and finishes around the basket. How? (a) Yes, he his quicker & stronger than pretty much every defender, and he uses his weight well. (b) He has been a willing & accurate passer against double teams or to open shooters. He was even a willing passer as a rookie, which made it doubly frustrating when a rookie already figured this out, while a veteran Julius Randle would constantly dribble into double teams. As for your last point, I don't entirely agree. See my first takeaway above. I think that these post-up shots & the footwork to get into these shots need to be worked on constantly, and over both shoulders. A great low-post player needs to be a triple threat, just like any perimeter player. He needs to be a threat to make good passes to shooters/cutters when the defense's attention is on him. He needs to be able to make contested shots from the post to attract double/triple teams. He needs to be able to drive the ball quickly after a pump fake, then finish effectively or make a dumpoff pass off the drive. The three threats work together to create space for one another. Without one of these threats, the other threats become much less effective IMO.

@@nottelling792 Yes, but you need to work on the shot and the footwork to make it an automatic shot that defenders fear. Treat the pivot foot like a drop step towards the middle. The pivot foot needs to go over the defenders feet so that when you turn into the fadeaway, you create additional separation from the defender with your body. Of course, you also need to work on the counters as well. Work on a turnaround over the other shoulder turning baseline. Incorporate a drop step layup. Work on the spin move you see in this video. To create space for the baseline counters, you need to back your defender as close to the middle of the lane as possible, and you can't be too close to the baseline (a good distance is around 3-6' from the rim). One last point. As you get closer to the basket, your shot start & release point both need to be higher. Work on making your jump shot's release point higher from the post. The start & release points won't be the same as a mid-range shot (a bit lower) or a 3-point shot (even lower than midrange).

Glad you liked it, a lot of more stuff on the way.

@@small_fries7573 What if I don’t want to go to heaven? Eternal existence is exhausting and terrifying to me

@@GinoChaviano19 hi there Gino senor. Can you explain to me why you don't believe in God? I wanna know how u feel. Thanks.

@@small_fries7573 I believe in the concept of God in the sense that we are all one entity, and that one whole that connects us all and is deep within us is the spiritual power that every religion interprets their own God to be. From Christianity, to Islam, to all the other hundreds of religions that have existed throughout human history. I came to this conclusion after years of being on a journey to self discovery, refusing to just accept the “answer” that was given to me by the family, region, and society I happened to be born into.

​@@GinoChaviano19what's funny is Jesus literally says this but people get caught up on other shit to ignore he was telling everyone they were also gods. Wild to see this on a bball vid tho lol

The counter move if the defender wont get too close is the reverse pivot by Tim Duncan then if the defender is still not too close, it's the bank shot by Timmy

If you are component enough to spin in the pain then you likely already have either a hook shit away from the direction to the basket, or even a simply fade.

Good call...

been explained, though (? )

What's the name of the song?

But then you realize You still can't do it in a match and need more experience 😔

Play your game by your speed and tempo, don't bother the defense's presence and at the same time protecting the ball.

Pass and cut and don’t make it a lazy cut flash to the basket with your hands ready to catch and lay up or drop off a pass

1. Develop your jumpshot so that you're a threat from mid-range and 3pt range. 2. Use up-fake and jab step combo to get defense reaching or trying to block your shot. *you should be able to do this with no more then 3 fakes. EFFECTIVE fakes are important. 3. When he reaches low, pull the jumper. If he reaches high 👋🏾 dribble past him, expecting the double team to help. ONLY dribble when you have effectively gotten the defender off balance or leaning in the wrong direction. Im 36 and I've been doing this for 20+ years. You can combine your pull-up jumper with stepbacks and side steps. It works, but you must practice gathering the ball to shoot quickly and MAKING SHOTS with people uncomfortably close to you.

@@jpatt85 thx as a 6,4 center that helped me

Like the other guy said, get good at the triple threat. I’m 6’5 280 so a lot of guys are faster than me but if i post then reverse pivot to face up, it creates enough space for me to play the headfake/shoot or dribble game. If they step back you shoot, if they step up you go by. Go from there.

Got hyped when I saw that clip. Sengun been turning back the clock with his post game.

Thanks man. Growth is slow and steady. Share it with some friends if you want to help it grow faster.

Love that players from all over the world are watching! How is the basketball culture over in Chile?

It's a bullshit move. Everyone should work on a drop step followed by a bank shot. All post moves are only counter moves to a well defended drop step.

Wish u accept Jesus Christ as your Savior so u can go to heaven after this life. God doesn't expect you to be perfect nor sinless. He just wants u to believe in Him as your Savior for your sins so u can go to heaven after this life.

This is how I've been learning it. But isn't there more risk of travel as you have to lift you pivot way soon than the way they do it in the video.

​@@jafooli Depends on which side you are on. And if you are left or right handed.

​@@jafoolikeep it simple. Your pivot foot should always be the foot opposite to your driving hand.

Spin + Euro + Jelly! Kyrie is something else.

This is the only post move I teach my players. Not a big fan of scoring in the post. Advanced stats tell us that other actions, transition, ball screens, handoffs, catch and shoot are all more efficient. The post in modern basketball should be used to run actions out of. Splits, handoffs and pick and pops. But the quick spin move is good to have in case nobody helps and your man presses up. I don't think players should be posting up much anymore. Especially not at a young age. Time spent posting up takes away from time spent on "guard skills" and limits their potential. Lebron, KD, Jokic, Magic Johnson did not become the players they are by posting up at a young age.

@@CoachFrikki True

@@CoachFrikki please make running an jump hook breakdown

@@CoachFrikkiwouldn’t you say that in the case of a mismatch (large guard v small) going to the post with a jump hook, up&under and maybe some counters could be beneficial to learn?

@@arqumabdullah2462 It can work for sure. But the entry pass can be stolen, and there is help and double teams. And many shorter players have learned to guard the post through their careers. And even if it works it won't translate to the next level where all 5 defenders are good, big and athletic. If you're larger than your defender then your should be to shoot over them or finishing over them at the rim. Those shooting and slashing skills will translate to every level of ball. Posting up doesn't.

It's not a travel if the ref don't blow the whistle 😂

@@CoachFrikki Fair enough!
