@@yasiryasir6558 I'm too white for that, ask for anything else lol.
@@yasiryasir6558 Literally thousands of videos on youtube about this topic do your own research bro
combo moves
"Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist" everyone of these guys have spent thousands of hours on these exact fundamentals and created such a strong foundation of skills so it allows them a ton more freedom in exactly how they each go about things.
That's a good quote, but most of these shouldn't be "rules" in the 1st place.
@@CoachFrikki exactly . BASKETBALL is an artform. You cannot allow someone to stifle your creativity
Learn stupid rules and lose in stupid fashion.
I think some of it is that they are athletic and skilled enough that they dont need perfect form. Even if a pro does something 'wrong'if its sound it doesnt mean doing it right wont help you
What do you mean don’t dribble with your palm how else are you gonna touch/ hold the basketball bruh
I remember when I had my first breakout games like 20 years ago I just stopped listening to what the coach and my teammates were saying and I just focused on myself in the huddle. Literally just closed my ears and turned inside. I had a few 30 point games in a row and I understood that the coach was never gonna sub me out if I just kept scoring well... no matter how many times I broke plays... no matter how much space I started to use on the court. It was like I always knew how to play, just had to mentally get out of my own way, and also everybody else had to get out of my way, too. Never looked back, but I understand that coaches are just like teachers in school. They all have good intentions but very few are really able to help you bring out your true potential. The best just get out of your way and only help you find your rhythm when you're off or when you're slumping by nudging you back into equilibrium, this can be achieved in a variety of ways, doesn't even have to be related to basketball. If you read Phil Jacksons books you can get a vision of how he did what he did. Imagine coaching MJ... or Kobe. There really isn't such a thing. You manage them, you don't tell this type of talent what to do. This channel here is the most underrated hoops channel on the whole Internet. You can tell that CoachFrikki is a real hooper.
at the highest level, trainers just fine tune the little details
@@devvv4616 True. They already have the basics down.
Muhammad Ali was still coached by Cus, I reject your entire premise.
That was long....
Exactly how I learned dribbling.
I listened to coaches & youtube videos for 3 years to learn how to dribble, never learned how to do it ... I was afraid to put the ball on the floor for years, looking like a pussy ... untill I gave up.
I started going on my own, watching players dribble & mimic them & try to understand the secret ... Trail & error, Trail & error, Trail & error ... until it finally snapped, I figured it out ... & now I have the ball on a string, doing every possible move you can ever dream of.
Also the Palm is important ... shooting, layup & dribbling.
Ahh, make sense.
Palming the ball during the shot makes it "stable", but when you actually release the ball you are using finger tips.
I think thats what all pros trying to teach, use fingers when the ball is leaving your hand for dribbling/passing/shooting, but what you do with the ball doesn't matter THAT much prior to leaving your hand.
Very good attention to details.
Yeah, it would be hard to control the ball, generate power in your shot and flick your wrist all while trying to shoot straight at the same time if you were only holding the ball with your fingertips and not palming the ball but on release is what i think they mean by "daylight between your palm and the ball".
you just can't shoot ball without your fingers to make ball spin in air.
@@pack8579 can you actually palm the ball? Because when you palm the ball you pretty much only use your fingers and dont have the ball in that space in the middle of your hand. the first myth absolutly true and this video is so far only bullshit
This person "coach" doesn't know what their talking about... being a palm shooter is different from what the clips show, as you alluded to its actually about the release. Dame is a rare example of a great high volume palm shooter, most of the other players are traditional fingertip shooters this person just cherrypicked snapshots on the rise up of the ball in their palm(which is fine) but even if its a half second from release the palm will come off and figertips will guide the shot majority of the time. Accross the video fundamental building blocks of being a good hooper are being dismissed but they're missing the fact they are exactly that, tips for kids to build a foundation they could then build on. All of these pros master this stuff and went on to create their game. Its kinda a slap in the face to the work it takes to be a great basketball player.
Edit: Except for the backboard slap layups part because that one is just pointless to begin with, nobody I've come across has ever coached that one way or the other.
Not true actually, if have your palm in the ball you wont be able to control going up and your shot might end up flat
I've grown out of most of these by playing and watching footage a whole lot, sometimes it's just easier to emulate what's seen and go with what the body is comfortable with than trying to operate with hard principles.
Agreed. Once you've acquired a large array of moves, you can go in your bag & pull out whatever the situation calls for at the speed of thought.
I know this personally.
@@earnyourimmortality6805 maximum truth
This is why I solely watch film of players especially in slow motion rather than tips and tutorials because most things are never as black and white as explained. Great Video!!!!!
Doncic exposing Gobert in 1v1 the whole time
If you don't already watch him, the TH-camr that posted this video actually makes really great tutorials and tips by relating them to real footage of games and explaining what went wrong or right in each clip. They are really interesting to watch and I don't even play basketball lmao
A lot of these myths are VERY situational. Such as triple threat being on the left, that shouldn't always be the case. Having the ball to the left only helps you drive right, you can have the ball on either side to improve not just driving on the right or left.
“Having the ball left only helps you drive right” what sport are you playing ? 😂😂
@@Michealtheseramyers Do you know what a rip through is? When you're holding the ball on the left side of your body, you rip across your body and drive to the right and vice versa.
@@rinsekai that's situational too bro
@@realElectroZap Exactly???
@@rinsekai i mean the rip through is situational too, just like the triple tread being on the left.. you don't NEED to drive right with the ball on the left
the michael kidd ghilcrist jump shots kills me every time
Another Myth is never looking down at the ball/just in front of you. It’s good to look down sometimes to see better where you and ur opponent is
eh i mean u shouldnt be looking down tho I do it all the time but it limits your court vision
@@macscheese3994 you can't attack defenders if your head is up. You have to look at people's feet to know which direction to go, and hesitations won't work well if your heads always up. So it isn't one or the other, you should have your head up when scanning the floor or when someone's setting a screen, but in attack mode, just let your head and eyes move naturally, rely on your peripheral vision
Train your peripheral vision .by down at an angle.use your whole eye.
Use the center of your eye to see the floor and your peripherals to see the players and hoop.
@@spawncampe maximum truth
There are no right or wrong with basketball, it’s just what is comfortable and works for you… it’s a sport created by human so just be yourself and be creative with it
Maximum truth
The no palm dribbling i can explain it like this: when you pick the ball up to change direction palm = max control, but when u slam it back down then no palm
palming when dribbling is also a carrying violation. AI and Kyrie got away with a lot of carrying
@@-007-2
Well no, holding the ball in your hand is, but dribbling with your palm is not.
Regardless, both are done primarily in the NBA, making the entire concept of just finger dribbling bunk
I think it is mostly for serious beginners that are slapping and not involving the fingers for control. After getting off the court from playing outside I bet every mfr has a dirty ass palm.
I have always found players say one thing and do another in actual games. A lot of basketball shooting form standards are outdated and have been replaced with forms better for long range shooting.
Great points with great observations. I recently realized regarding shooting form that it’s more important/successful to shoot in a way that you can do comfortably consistently. When I try to focus on super “proper” form I tend to miss more, and when I shoot in a way that’s more natural and comfortable for me I’m much more accurate with my shots.
This was such a great video Coach. Thank you so much. I watch your videos to save plays in my head so I can use them in game.
Coach Frikki In The Clutch! All of it great, the dummy defense really stood out and the gap shooting / finger dribbling
THIS IS, ON THE HUMBLE, THE BEST BASKETBALL CHANNEL ON TH-cam! FACTS!!!
One disagreement: You should be able to finish *around the basket* in every which way with your "weak" hand as your dominant hand with the exception of a jumpshot or floater. Load your bag with as many tricks as possible making *all of them AMBIDEXTROUSLY STRONG.*
There is a reason why all the players at 7:59 missed. Finishing overhand w/ your weak hand is very very hard. Just put it in w/ your right hand like the players at 8:47 do.
Watch this video: th-cam.com/video/2La2u4_3eOI/w-d-xo.html
Check out all the players finishing effectively w/ their right hand on the left side.
@@CoachFrikki
I'm a mind over matter kind of guy. If you want something bad enough, you work at it until its yours. At one time, long long ago, to make a simple lay up consistently was hard. If you practice something long enough, you can master it. I can finish however I want in whatever way the situation calls for.
I always thought of the same especially on the shooting topic, it's just wild to see all of these channel teaching a lot of inefficient and unnatural things. That video was well needed
Thanks coach frikki for all these great moves. You had made me such a great basketball player.💯💯🙏
The person who made this video takes everything SO literally. Guys…in the end, these fundamentals are important when you’re first learning, but everyone has their own unique playstyle and shooting form.
Agreed; to that, I add this: Highlights are not data.
This is probably the single best basketball video on TH-cam.
Crazy how even the best players get brainwashed by theories while their intuitive subconscious play shown on court clearly defies it.
Thank you Coach for busting those myths. Especially that board slap which back in the day I was adding to my basketball workout but I find it hard to do. Dribbling using the whole hand was an eye opener. This video is a wake up call. 😁
This added value for me
I think some areas were confirmation bias and there are nuances surrounding what truly is a myth, but this definitely helps challenge the primary teachings from old school coaches and that alone is enough. Thank you!
3:38 the reason they palm the ball is because they need control for the ball, in those clips you can mainly see them dribbling with the palm when doing under the legs and crossovers, or driving to the basket, the reason they say to use your fingertips is because it allows you to release the ball faster making your dribbling and ability to move quicker and easier.
Yeah, if they dribbled exclusively with their palms they'd have no snap no speed
Bro u are easily the best hoop TH-camr out there u have helped me with my game so much thank u I’ll forever be tuned in 🔥❤️
Basketball sometimes is a good feel good game kind of feeling. When you're really feeling it, it just goes down however you shot the ball. Sure repetition is the true key but sometimes rhythm and feel is all it needs.
Great videos coach keep up the good work. Id also love to see a video on how to practice by yourself since the only game experience I have is when my friends are over.
Check out Steve Nash workouts by himself, jogging to every rebound
I think you should remember the last time you went against a great defender and imagine he was guarding the entire time your shoot around and master some counter moves to their defense. That’s what I did and it works pretty well until I meet someone else who defends even better
@@shakenbucketsyt7340 Wow thats actually a really good tip thanks a lot
@@guyontheinternet5583 no problem
bro showed the best shooters saying no palm then went

you got this bro
@Slim Reaper so I expected it to be rough at the begenning and I didn't score that much but I did lock up the WHOLE gym and created for others. I think I made it but I gotta see
Good luck!
@@ballislifr sounds like a true PG to me. Every team needs someone to facilitate! Best of luck to you bro!
Did you make it?
Big thanks for the lessons coach 💯💯💙💪🙌🏼
Had a coach who played college ball try to change my shot in middle school, I was never a consistent shooter again. Fast forward to today, Im a grown man whos falling in love with the game again and using my old broken shot and consistently scoring. I wish i had these youtube videos back then, i would have never let my coach touch my shot. I blamed myself for not being a consistent shooter to the point of frustration and then inevitably quitting. Sometines doing whats most comfortable for your body despite what is fundamental is the way to go
as always very good content, and realistic thanks coach!
Things like these made me think I sucked or had no fundamentals but it's cool to have a video on it. The palming is a huge misconception for dribbling, it's a combination of controlling with your whole hand and your fingers situationally. My handles are bad though lol
Ik this really makes my Middle school P.E. Teacher look bad
@@xtavmahalxnot true at all, I have a friend that good at handles that teach me that palming dribble is okay
I'm learning how to play basketball and all these felt super awkward. Glad to know its not just me. Thanks for the vid!
This channel is criminally underrated - thanks for the info coach
Coach, your little added clips are priceless 😂 5:33
I became a much better shooter by making sure there was a gap between the ball and my palm because it made me focus on the ball leaving my hand through the fingers allowing me to get better control of the ball, but after a while I could shoot much better with palming the ball aswell
Awesome video. Very detailed. Appreciate the work to make this
Very cool video. I’m righty and I never actually worked on finishing overhand with my left because I didn’t like how it felt but always thought that it made my finishing incomplete until I eventually realized that working on left handed finger rolls so much made my left so much better at finishing than my right lol.
Myth #1 : 3rd option : Be like Luka Magic.
When PnR motion begins keep your defender on your back and make reads in oppositions defence and make perfect play.
You can't keep him on your back if he goes under the screen and they switch.
Coach Frikki slappin a myth,
like will smith
I believe more of this kinda video should be uploading often, not just here but all other channels. Especially for young ballers coming to know the true basics.
I agree with finishing underhand on off hand. That two-hand to off-hand finger roll or wrong-footed scoop has always felt better & worked better
This is a great video. I feel like all these rules are fundamentals to get you started. Then you should tweak them to make your game better. The one that really messed me up was dribbling with my fingertips, I personally would lose control even though it helped me dribble faster, but once I started dribbling in a manner that was more comfortable to me, even though I was a little slower I had better control and stopped losing the rock overall
Thank god I never heard a few of this 🤣 But others are destroying peoples game!
And there´s a lot about shooting, I would add using the off hand when shooting! But it´s true not everyone does it.
Coach Frikki and Shot Mechanics are the best and genuine basketball channels.
Love your videos coach!
thats probably the best "coaching" video i've ever watched really good job and thank you!
I think don't dribble the ball with your palm means don’t think about just using the palm to move the ball. Because when you start thinking about move the ball with your fingers. Although eventually you will touch the ball with your palm, the transition from fingers to palm will be very smooth. So dribbling with your fingers is a good advice plus it will help you gain a better touch with basketball
Thanks Coachfrikki you are the best channel no lie thank you so much I learn
I never tried those myths, especially in weak hand finish, because i realized my right hand was dominant than my left hand, in every situation i always using my right hand.
I never understood the not letting the ball touch your palms when your shooting or dribbling thing
Because the fingers have far much more control than your palm. When you shoot, your fingertips should be the last thing the ball touches when letting it fly. That's what gives the ball spin. If you watched the players that he showed, you can see that the last place the ball touches was their fingertips. Coaches teach to leave a space because it helps players learn to release the ball with their fingertips. If you don't learn this first, it's gonna lead you to chuck the basketball into the basket and it's not gonna give it any spin. Once you learn to release the ball with your fingertips, the space stops to matter. The only thing that matters is to get the ball into your shooting position.
They're not saying don't let it "touch" your palm , but if you're dribbling down , it should be fully in your palm. Of course when you're carrying over or crossing over it's going to be in your palm
palming when dribbling is carrying, which is a violation.
I have some ideas for videos: complete guide for footwork, complete guide for change of pace and how to master it. Thanks a lot for your videos coach!🔥
Love your videos man
Shooting is really more about feel and what works for you and your handicap. Sure you can take some of the basic mechanics but I remember as a kid watching MJ shoot and emulating his mechanics and motion, not achieve consistent accuracy and realize much later on that I'm not 6'6" with a 7 footers hand size and an explosive vertical leap.
Honestly once I stopped listening to what others were trying to tell me and just started doing what felt right everything changed
It’s weird that most of these ‘mistakes’ is what we do naturally. Perhaps our body knows more than ourselves.
Thank you for making this video, I hope a lot of young players see it. I always knew squaring my feet was bogus, but I wish I had known some of these other myths too.
tysm! this really helped me improve my shot
😃
I find underhand finishes in general more difficult, so I rarely even try lefty underhand. Most important weak hand finish imo is the sidehand hook (basically you need something for when your right side is closed by the defense in air)
It depends...they are better for no backboard finishes. At least for me it gives me more control...also look how Curry does that underhand scoop layup.
th-cam.com/video/saVh6bpmEbk/w-d-xo.html
weak hand overhand is sooo awkward tho. i dont think anyone is ever that good at it. Strong hand underhand has a tendency to go stronger than intended
Whatever you're the least good at is more difficult lol. Some ppl can't layup off one leg. Some ppl only know how to jump off two feet. They just lack the natural ability. Then there are ppl who are naturally graceful and athletic
@@devvv4616 It's awkward until you work at it. Overhand off glass becomes very natural, with either hand, once you do it enough. When you see pros miss with the off hand, it means they've neglected keeping it sharp (or never developed it in the first place). I honestly don't blame them; with all they have to work on, you're going to have to prioritize skills improvement. Point-blank shooting isn't one of those life and death things.
What's a lot more awkward to me is doing the overhand off glass, left hand on right side or vice versa. If you're shooting overhand off glass, you want the ball mostly coming off your thumb and first two fingers. And it will if you do it lefty from the left side and righty from the right; but shooting overhand off glass righty from the left side, the ball comes off the middle, ring, and pinky fingers. Doesn't feel natural at all, although I suppose one could develop that too.
It’s crazy how people just repeat what they’re told without thinking about it. Thanks so much for this video.
Love this Channel really helps s lot
regarding the "ball at left hip" thing in my observation its moreso about which is your pivot foot and where you wanna attack. usually right handed players are most comfortable with their left foot as their pivot so theyll usually end up with the ball around their left leg/hip area but you could just aswell reverse this if your right foot was your pivot
It doesn't matter if we do it differently from others. Everything is to score and win.
the #1 only works when you're switching for weaker defenders.
True!
Coach, its like your dismantling the taboo. Hahaha. Love the vid! Its like exposing them fake coaches like a fake martial artist. 🤘🏼
Thanks, you're the best frikki✨️❤️
Love your videos, coach! However I take this one with a grain of salt. Some points I definitely agree, others not entirely. For example, even if you show us top shooters palming the ball, that by itself doesn't really say much. It's just some clips. In a game there is lots of pressure and most of the time players will not be able to execute their perfect "normal" shot. So in order to prove the point you'd have to create some solid statistics with a large enough data set. Also for example having the D switch on screen and then exploit a mismatch can work really well, I've seen it used often to great effect. Saying "Just slip the screen" is a bit too easy, it won't just work every time. Same as the mismatch. Everything has to be well executed that is true for all actions on court. In the end I think there are no fixed rules, every player is different and every situation is different, decisions are made in split seconds and mistakes happen all the time. But my main point is, showing counterexamples is not really proof of anything, basketball is a game of probabilities after all.
Yeah couldn't really go into detail in a short video. Hoping this will spark debate and get coaches/trainers/players think critically about what they're teaching.
I think palm thing has way too many variables to be researched realistically.
Just wanted to put the fact out there that a lot of best shooters in the world shoot with the ball completely in their palm, which completely contradicts what is commonly taught. People can then form their own opinion on the issue.
"Exploiting mismatches" only works with certain personell. And doesn't do shit against good positionless defenses. And it doesn't do shit when 2 players with similar skillsets are screening for each other.
Attacking switching defenses like I show (not letting them switch) is surperior in most situations. And a lot of hoopers have no clue that not this way of attacking is a possibility.
Appreciate the reply.
@@CoachFrikki Definitely there is some old-school teaching out there that doesn't really hold up objectively. So thanks for the effort. :) And sure, looking for the mismatch only works when there is actually a mismatch. It's not a one-fits-all solution. Anyway I'm sure you have way more experience to judge what is effective and what not. Just wanted to point out that I've seen many times (NBA) teams deliberately targeting the opponent's weakest defender by getting them to switch on a strong offensive player. And short/big mismatches as well. Steve Nash and CP3 come to mind orchestrating the offense like this. Of course I myself also have no data to tell how common or effective that strategy is. I guess it really depends on the circumstances (half-court, man-2-man, clear mismatch) and doesn't work with all play styles since it's very iso oriented. And of course the defense will adjust so the use will be limited anyway. Anyway thanks for the reply coach! I'd appreciate if you could give my future topic suggestion some thought :)
@@CoachFrikki listen to what the man said and put your ego out, you been here discouraging most of the fundamentals of basketball don't make you a gon, we learn the basics in practice to be creative in the game
Talking about not touching your palm with the ball when shooting, listen, KD shooting mid ranges is different from KD shooting 3's
Don't just take some few clips here and make a living out of it
Mid range game is vital. Helps all areas of your game. Floaters, backboard shot angles and with overall touch (feel for game). Took a while for me to understand that aspect but I work on the mid range all the time now. Always a nice thing to see on Scouting Report that you can score at all 3 levels.
Well we can agree to disagree on that. Hard to justify such an inefficient shot. NBA players shoot it 42% on average. Most lower level hoopers probably way below that.
@@CoachFrikki midrange shots are considered so inefficient because a lot of those midrange misses are fadeaways or awkward tough / bad shots taken when a player picks the ball up too early or is just getting locked up on a drive. a lot of the toughest shots just happen to be in the midrange, but i don't think there's much proof that a simple midrange pull-up or a post fade is inefficient
Good video & thank you coach!
Thank you for opening the eye sir
I actually miss a ton of layups slapping the back board
I can't do a layup ;-;
@@ryancops7183 well... go somewhere to practice them layups!!!
so what should i do?
Hi Coach, I disagree with bringing the ball to the EYES. When you aim with gun, dart shot, Basketball, anything, you do it with your dominant EYE, so its slightly on one side. So technically it's not a myth. You gave the examples of KD and left handed shooters. KD is right handed, but with left eye dominant, so he shoots right handed, but aims with his left eye which is very rare. Left handed shooters live in a world where everyone shoots with his right hand and most of them have really nonstandard technique. Many lefties shoot with right influenced by basketball icons (LeBron as ex.) Cheers your subscriber and patron ;)
Derek Fisher behind the head and on the shoulder 😂
I'm left handed but right dominat in basketball , didn't try to copy anyone , I guess I just randomly started with right hand as a kid
Very well done video, and expert use of the videos in the background to support your points. Music choice was also very nice and calming
So true. I experienced it
So true. I experienced it
This is what I need... Recently got playing and trying to hard to learn and improve and forgetting everyone is built different and games are different....
The difference is your mindset. The games and practice are all the same. Same hoop Same ball same body Same legs Same hands Same ability. It is the mind that changes or stays the same . Practice how you play. Ask God to lead you
what elite shooters do: no gap: steph curry is an example but in the beggining of the vid he says to have a little gap so im confused.
He says to have a gap and to turn your feet straight to the basket.
But he shoots with no gap & with his feet turned.
i think they dont even realise that but they dont even do that its just a muscle memory thing
@@CoachFrikki ohh ok thank you
Because myths are made by people not thinking for themselves. He heard it as a fact from someone and is repeating it without thinking, even though he came to a different form by training.
Great video man
This made me feel good. I'm happy. :)
With the palming on the shot, I think it's just that NBA players have huge hands that they just happen to palm the ball rather than deliberately doing it. The basic of the control isn't actually whether there's gap or not, its whether you control the ball with fingers or not. Young bsketball players have smaller hands so they're taught to get the gap while it's actually about the fingers
I think that if you're young with small hands it is even more important to use the whole hand to get power, stability and control.
Quite the opposite. If you have smaller hands you NEED to palm the ball. Some guys with bigger hands can get away without palming
Actually Ray Allen was a fingertip shooter. Palm shooting allows more power
@@mcmerry2846 Ain't he a 6'5 pro? Show me a 5 foot kid who shoot from range with fingertips.
@@Ming44446 Earl Boykins
Great videos, but I’m going to have to disagree with the palm shooting. Real shooters never shoot with their palm and in real game situations, the pics and videos that you show to disprove it doesn’t tell the whole story because the ball may temporarily dip into palm territory but it’s not initial resting there from launch. So all the kids out there please listen to Steph, Klay and Kobe 💯
Yes sir I strongly believe in what you said
This is a fantastic video!
The problem with this is when you are talking about explaining the fundamentals vs deviating to your own style once you’ve mastered them. It’s like explaining which leg and hand to use on a layup and then watching Kylie Irving do something that totally defies that (because some 6’9” freak athlete is chasing him down and he has to improvise and have counters).
Cool video, I liked it and I will say Dames palming when he shoots is definitely unique. Again just my small additional and opinion, but still fun to watch. Keep em coming!
8:22 lebron is actually left handed.......
His right hand is his dominant hand in basketball. Doesn't matter how he writes, he doesn't shoot with his left.
He would have made that shot with his right, his shooting hand.
7:10 the way he says hold up when he realises no one does this
You indeed dribble with the fingertips. In dribbling, you catch it with the palm for control since you can retain it, change tempo, switch direction, but you don't toss it to the floor with your palm since you lose control.
Thanks coach ❤️
Loved the Avatar the Last Air Bender music, great video!
For real, I could listen to this theme for hours. The nostalgia!
@@CoachFrikki facts, might have to rewatch it now haha
i feel like the game has evolved so much to the point where you can do almost any move if in the right situation
Man this advice great but the music is so relaxing.
Those were the basic things that needed to be learn on playing basketball. Today, game had evolved and the defense becomes weak
liked before I even watched because I know you are exposing a lot of things that has truly messed up people basketball career
Nice job
Greetings from Greece
Thing is, these aren’t myths, they are beginner tips to teach good form and get rid of bad habits. Leaving a gap gets new players to put more flick on and stops them from just chucking it like a shotput. Squaring up to the basket gets them to think about their shot and line it up before just throwing it off balance. Dribbling with only fingers helps develop more ball control and stops them from just slapping it, making them push it down instead. Triple threat gets them to think about protecting the ball and looking for openings instead of wasting the dribble and charging into defenders. For many people, especially beginners, it’s easier to shot with the ball inline with their shooting side. Many beginners are unable to do fancy moves, so bringing the ball down on a rebound only gives the defender a chance to get on top of them, so it’s better for them to try and put it straight back up. Okay I’ve never actually seen a coach say not to step back, and it’s a pretty dumb thing to say. If you want good finishing on both sides, then you should practice all types of finishing on both sides so you can make any of them, don’t neglect overhand left finishes just because you find them hard. Not crossing your feet is good advice for beginners so they don’t trip over their own feet, if you aren’t agile enough to react to a cross, then you shouldn’t cross your feet. Practicing against dummies gives beginners to practice dribbling with someone in front of them.
Almost all these “myths” are just beginner tips to help new players gain coordination and develop the basics. Of course, once players develop, they will develop their own play style and will move away from these basics and find out what works best. No coach is telling these things to anyone over 14 and if they are, they are a bad coach.
!!!! nba players have years of experience and have basic mechanics mastered to muscle memory. they can slightly adjust things that fit them personally
AY BRO AINT NO WAY U FINNESSED A KENNY CLIP INTO THIS VIDEO MAN 😂😂😂😂
LOVE THE VIDS
Guys, here what I did when I was 19 years old and in my BBall Prime. Just went to the park, put on music & figured my own game out. Use Legs, Plant Feet, Use your Dominant eye only, Elbow & Wrist follow through, your non-dominant hand always acts to help Aim the actual Cannon (your dominant shooting hand), Start with Layups, then 10ft Shots, 15ft, 20ft… ETC ETC. Fundamentals will get you them high scoring games.
And final tip… play all day and all night.
i love your videos bro, greets from argentina
all the missed layup seems to be a situation where the player lost control a little, because in almost all of these clips they "forgot" to put spin into the ball
You are facing the hoop when being squared up, it’s still having your body face it but your feet are moved so your comfortable. Also some shooters shoot the ball in different forms, you shoot it to your side so you shoot it straight, if your elbow is diagonal it’s harder to shoot
This reminds me when I was taking karate. You have all that katas but when sparring comes on of it came out.
More videos like this please 🙏
I played competitive BB (3rd grade travel team), and our coach taught most of these… most folks assumed I would go pro,,, but a damm toe nail kept me from my dream
also remember that for a lot of these, that the nba players are playing the hardest version of basketball and are the greatest players in the world. therefore some of these the average high school basketball player can’t do what they do. listen to the advice the players give u, don’t copy exactly what they do
