+RJ. It's the court at West 4th in NYC. Famous streetball court. It's not that unusual to see NBA players there in the off-season. Plus, it's NYC, nobody cares that much. Everyone has somewhere else to be!
I think it's just awesome that he recognizes Hard work in another sport, he is a humble professional kid who respects work, and the way he treated Timbo was awesome, I think he would've done the same whether the cameras were there or not, he was really professional , I respect humble people, rich or not. great video.
One-wall handball is mostly a NYC game. I think it became popular there because all the public parks had one or more concrete walls. It didn't cost much to build them, they didn't require any maintenance, and lots of people could use them at the same time. Perfect use of public money! I miss playing it, wish I could find a concrete wall where I live now! BTW, in NYC, when you say "handball", this is the game you're talking about. The game that's played in a four-walled court indoors is called "blackball".
Handball is such a dope game man, I feel like if more people knew about it theyd love it. I used to play with my buddies all the time, I'm defiently a amatuer but its a blast. Theres also playing softball, real handball the ball is hard as f
Bro growing up and playing Handball in Cali most likely you’re probably in a hood court. You’re gonna get hit up by he homies who run the park and are gonna test you in a game of handball so be ready. Handball is hella fun and tiring, respect and durance is what it’s about.
Classic four wall handball does use a harder ball which moves faster. This is cooler though, and the culture is cool, and the man to man contact is probably greater even if the ball is slower and softer. One wall vs four wall changes a lot of the angles, but all the fastest volleys in four wall are back and forth of front wall anyways so you know big ball/one wall is lit. Both are cool sports. No small ball street ball unfortunately, and precious little in the gyms even.
knowing how to cut it when you hit the ball so when it contacts the wall, it goes in the opposite direction, thats what helps, having big hands means nothing if you don't know how to use them properly in handball
+Art Vandelay . Dude, handball is major NYC and Irish sport great for walls in the City. There is a one wall, 4 wall and 3 wall versions and a selection of 4 ball hardness (black, red, blue and pink). It is easy to play but difficult to master. Terrific sport.
Ah, this takes me back. How I spent my summers growing up in NYC. I haven't played in decades since I haven't lived in NYC and I haven't found a court in other states. But I'm pushing to get an outdoor handball court in Houston suburbs
Hell yeah, I still remember when I first started playing at school at the handball courts, I would miss every swing and contact with the ball lol but I just play everyday now and now I'm better
facts true.. as a handball player myself we know the struggles of first learning the game, power shots, "seeing" the ball, angle shots, spin shots, rollers, stamina, timing, and ball placement.. but he managed above average when it came to seeing the ball and stamina.. he juss gotta work on ball placement
Because it's not handball, it's wall-ball or something, just like "american football" is not football, they don't play with their feet and it's not a ball, a ball is round, theirs is more like an egg. Handball is played on a court with two teams and there is a goal, there is no goal and there are no teams in american wall-ball.
@@OriginalPuro No actually handball came from like ireland to america over 100 years ago, well before the "european handball" was invented with 2 teams and a goal.
The team sport is called Olympic handball, what’s being played here is called GAA handball in Ireland. There are variations, it can be played using one wall, as here, or with four walls, which often takes place in a squash court.
Thank you for making this film. Handball is not just crosstraining for me but has come full circle to me in regards to fitness (physically and mentally).
I guess its like Football, Volleyball, Hockey, Polo and how countries use those terms and to be fair I think Handball sounds reasonable since they are literally hitting a ball against a wall using their hands not sure what else they could call it.
Blake's athleticism is insane. His fundamentals are mind blowing all he needs is a championship run and a #1 spot in the west and he's a clear MVP. No doubt in my mind
In elementary school I use to play something we called handball but it was with a giant vertical wall and a large inflated rubber ball. Was a really, really fun game lol.
Wonderful video!. The Sport of handball goes way back. Invented in Ireland in the early 1700's. Abe Lincoln played it. Team handball was invented around 1890.
I have watched the video with Spanish subtitles and there is an error, they are translating handball as "balonmano", but that's the sport of Team Handball. The proper translation in this case is "pelota mano". As a side note, who would want Blake Griffin cross-train playing Team Handball? Could be cool to watch an NBA pro in it.
Wow! Blake is a nice guy. Throwing himself into other sports is cool. That was his first time playing handball? He played great!! Timbo seems very nice and humble.
To all my fellow handballers out there, show this to everyone you know who claims that handball isn't a real sport or is a game that is only played by teenagers.
+Lukas Gnidovec There is no such thing as European handball. Handball is handball. What you see in the video is another version which the "Americans" named handball. Though both sports use hands and ball, for me this is more related to squash > hands = hand squash. I'm from Europe myself btw.
Timbo played me in east elmhurst queens ....back in the days with east Elmhurst legends like lil Marv... im finna pop up at west4th one of these days to get back in to it.
i bet you that tall dude couldn't use his right hand for a few days after playing that hard his first time, it takes time to build up the ability to play hard without sacrificing your hand's functionality
Handball has been around 100+ years and is played on thousands of courts all around NYC. Also played around the country and internationally. Do some research before you talk out of your wrong end.
This game was established LONG before European Team Handball, in fact this handball really is the first sport. It was played in America as far back as the 1700's during the Revolutionary War and official courts will built in San Francisco in the 1800's. It was fully established in New York City in the turn of the 20th century.
@@akrasiathekruzmachine2341 Does not matter. slap-ball is not a globally recognised sport, handball is, which is why it is an Olympic sport. Same with hand-egg aka "murrican football", it's not a globally recognised sport, it's played in very few countries and they don't even play with their feet, it's not a ball either. A ball is defined as round, where is the ball in "murrican football"? There is none.
I see a lot of outdoor players wearing shoes with a rubber lip going over the top because when you slide it can rip a mesh shoe (such as how some skate shoes have the midsole extend over the toes). Indoor just wear something comfortable and not flat.

You know what helps in handball? Having hands that can palm a basketball.
His hands are like tennis rackets
knowing how to cut it when you hit the ball so when it contacts the wall, it goes in the opposite direction, thats what helps, having big hands means nothing if you don't know how to use them properly in handball
until half way in to the Vid i was like, ''where is the Handball'' ?

What shoes are best for handball?
@@christinavelasquez64 tennis “court” shoes.
I moved to Florida 4 yrs ago from NYC I finally found a court a few months ago
Man keep pushing. J live in Houston also and I haven’t found a handball court since I moved from nyc
Most people dont know that handball's Irish🇮🇪
I appreciate Red Bull showing handball some love
how i miss this sport! everyday at the court from sun up to sun down during the spring and summer.
Had some great times playing handball when I was younger too
blake is pretty good at handball for a beginner
+MrNothingButAir He's a super athlete, he's going to look respectable at anything he does. But I doubt that was his first time playing.

the American form of football isn't even all about the feet
+Vandernator Also not a ball, but I think hand egg wouldn't draw much public
+nannedebadone2 hahaha true i think throw-egg or run-egg wouldn't be a very popular sport
+Vandernator xD true. So if you think about it that way one could understand why they call it football
+nannedebadone2 in deed my friend as a player of the true kind of handball i can confirm
Awesome, great to see this being done in collaboration with red bull, looking forward to Ep 2
Wow first time seeing this handball is coming up. I love it. Good work Timbo!
Rather confusing that they would name this game handball when there is already an established sport with that name...
+Johan Eriksson they could've named it bitchslapball
+Ligar Anggara Pangestu 😁 yes due to the fact I got bitch slapped a few times by that damn ball.
I guess its like Football, Volleyball, Hockey, Polo and how countries use those terms and to be fair I think Handball sounds reasonable since they are literally hitting a ball against a wall using their hands not sure what else they could call it.

great story. i like this series a lot. good job redbull.
En España y toda Europa tambien jugamos a Handball!

The Spanish name for this kind of handball is Rebote, which is loosely translated as ricochet.
Rebote. Spanish

noah turner shut up:3

Really cool seeing Blake with Timbo back in the day.
Deadliest milly rock of all time
"I wish I meant to do that" I died ahahahahah
this is a super fucking cool series. nice job redbull. something I actually want to watch lol
When worlds collide.☺️☺️
This is why cross training is essential to perfect your craft.💯💯
Tape for the hands? I assume callouses are par for the course but preventative measures?
Interesting video; thanks for posting!
hahaha he was playing so easy on him
true but Blake is in way better shape than him, if Blake got a few years of practice in he might be able to hold his own against him
Timbo played me in east elmhurst queens ....back in the days with east Elmhurst legends like lil Marv... im finna pop up at west4th one of these days to get back in to it.
Open shop, you got a great new game. Hand ball+ the springy ropes.
Blake is in the building! #ClippersNation
Finally they put handball on the map. !!!
I'm a handball athlete at my school, I'm from Orange California, I want to travel to different states to compete with other tough opponents

That was abolutly fantastic video, I enjoyed it so much!
Really well done video, really enjoyed this
Timbo: That's a professional shot!
Blake: than you!I wish I meant to do that!
jajajja!
This handball was created before the Olympic handball. This handball is apart of GAA an Irish sport
Something peaceful about this sport. Different feel than basketball, but unfortunately it’s not as global as basketball. Love em both though.
Damn I wanna play against Timbo so bad
Hes good with both hands.. man
Come to.ps127
Blake griffin is INSANE
i bet you that tall dude couldn't use his right hand for a few days after playing that hard his first time, it takes time to build up the ability to play hard without sacrificing your hand's functionality
I have to say, Blake is quick learner! Handball is not that easy for playing his first time.
The best first timer I have ever seen.
@@beachwalker1466exactly. I couldn’t even whip the ball properly until a few months in, and that was on the big blues!
This was awesome
That ball is everything
do u guys play with full plays were the ball dosent ponce in your square and youre out
After these handball techniques , Blake griffin has been recruited by the Brooklyn Nets 😎😎😎
Timbo is moves and is built like Chris Paul. Blake is good at everything.
guess the training actually helped. he's playing real well rn
Damm how crazy to see Blake Griffin playin handball
I feel like drinking a red bull now
Does anybody know the name of the acceleration vest amd the bouncy medicine ball??
How could I get one of the jackets with the bungee chords
i need those cables. that's tough.
I used to play handball back in the day
Blake griffin is the beeessstt #KGD
Anyone know the name of the song at the end of this when Blake is running track?
he must use this had eye coordination for punching trainers in the face lol.
I'm a huge Blake Griffin fan but this was just too funny
After watching this video, I'd be down to play haha
Im kinda confused,because i play the handball where you have a ball you throw in a goal
Does anyone know where I can get some of those bands and vests from
Blake : "ok" sounds like Rammus looool
Isn't this a poor man's version of squash?
The hell is squash?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squash_(sport) respek da sport lad.
what the actual fuck even is squash lmao ur talkin like its some relevant sport
And hitting a ball off a wall with your hand is relevant? Typical millennial mindset where you think you're above everyone.
Handball has been around 100+ years and is played on thousands of courts all around NYC. Also played around the country and internationally. Do some research before you talk out of your wrong end.
3 wall handball is where it’s at.
Yes; more options. More power and lungs required. But; I play both. Both are great. I get hurt less in one wall.
Everyone at my school knows how to do a power shot and cork screws
Funny to see what americans call Handball, reminds me on what they did with Football ;)
this form of handball came before the one you're refering to.
Point of View and the word American

It a ball only for this sport or is "stolen" from other sport?
It is a racquetball

That was cool.
I think it definitely helps to have big hands like he does
what is the name of the song in the beginning?
