I've never played basketball because the people who play it have always been arrogant with me, so I naturally avoided it. I've decided to give this sport a shot just to see if I have any potential with the ball. Wish me luck and God bless all of you on this journey.
don't worry, i had a late start as well. not as late as you did though. i started in fifth grade and i'm now in 11th. i've seen so much improvement in the first year and a half i had played. KEEP GOING!
I'm not Kyrie of course , but from what I've researched , the drills where you keep changing directions and use the body to protect the ball are the only stuff you need to learn this skill that you want to learn and when doing this drills , you going to want to go slow . Change directions while controlling the ball going slow
But , you WILL eventually be able to control the ball while being pressured , u just have to train your handles , and the better you become at it , the more confident and the more moves you're gonna have when being pressured
Does this happen to someone else: there are days my handles are so good, it seems that the ball and I are only one entity, it does exactly what I want, and the following day it is as if I unlearned even the basics lmao It is so frustrating
Man I'm so happy to see this lots of ppl like me , who are putting the work in , here where I live , there might be like 2 others and they don't even put that much of a work in, I would love to have somebody that works even harder than me , so that I can work harder
My personal tips for this video 1 freestyle 5-20 min 3+ days in a week depending of how much time you have and your physical condition 2 master the basic moves then master normal combos then master advanced moves and then you master advanced combos 3 be coordinated , be wide and your body always follow the ball , turning hips and getting low , and do a slight hand spin when dribbling to stick the ball to your hand better
Make a video how to not carry. Funny how low balls adbot players calls a carry just cause you got them on a hezi or crossover which messes the whole game.
