    Devin is the Morgan Freeman of Basketball narration. You immediately recognise his distinctive voice and know the video will be fire every time.

    Its disgusting and horrible that Jake Paul has more subs than this man. Who actually inspires people and teaches em how to reach their goals.

    Devin williams be uploading these lit ass video. His actually my inspiration and favourite basketball player in youtube the way that guy plays and train is so sick he goes details by details i think his one of the best basketball trainer in youtube even when he plays his jumper and the way he dribbles are way too good everything is well detailed and thats whats make him a special player he always motivates me to go to the gym everyday to work on my game i wish i could find a trainer like him. Keep grindin devin!!!!!!!

    From a visual stand point Isaiah thomas' looks soo clean. It almost seems like he is frozen in time and then he just explodes right past the defender

    • @BallinDay96
      @BallinDay96 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      True True Yea IT’s is different from the one Dev taught. Same concept but his footwork is a little different which is why it doesn’t look like the others. His is smooth asf lol

    • @RushDawgSXM
      @RushDawgSXM 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You right and I agree. I thought the same thing when I saw his video. Literally too smooth! From nonchalant to explosive🔥

    That move by jordan is how i found this. I've did this a few times and not realizing it. It's a nice move. In the arsenal

  • @lawrencemichael775

  • @mikjnomis

    Make a video with or about Bone Collector and his go to moves. How to do them, are any illegal, etc.

  • @joelrivera9892
    @joelrivera9892 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This move is really good when going baseline. When doing the move going baseline, really make it seem like you are going to retreat then after explode. Me being a really small player have been cooking guys with this move from my 4 years of HS

    • @tayedwards600
      @tayedwards600 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Joel Rivera Facts I use it every time, but I find most success in the move when I go down baseline.

  • @Chandasouk
    @Chandasouk 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh, wee. I used to do the quarter turn all the time. My footwork got sloppy with age though lol.

  • @joshuavirag1407
    @joshuavirag1407 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The move is great when you are shoulder to shoulder with your defender that is what smith said when he was explaining the move on area 21 with KG.

  • @judahisrisingyahschosen9481

    So smitty studied a move jordan did and turned it into a combo move that creates space and can get by a defender with ease

  • @hofhenny
    @hofhenny 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You should do the Iverson Crossover or the Tim Hardaway Killer Cross next

    Where I live football ( soccer) is the main sport, there isn't many people that play basketball. Every weekend my friends don't play, I be by myself watching In the Lab videos and working on the moves, my friends always get mad because almost always I come with something new 😂

    6:52 mark; Kobe spins baseline off a smitty. Probably the greatest in game use of this move I’ve ever seen and SHOULDVE been in this vid

  • @mikegribanov6105
    @mikegribanov6105 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think a good way to use it when you are coming off a pick or just starting to get inside the arch act like you don't have a driving lane and you are just gonna pull back out and reset but then all of a sudden... wham.. blow by

  • @chuchuchuchia
    @chuchuchuchia 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wanna say Smitty confirmed this move was technically illegal, but idk how

  • @yeon723
    @yeon723 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    such a nice move for people who aren't super explosive, you're guarding the ball and you could potentially fake them out hard.

  • @ntnnot

  • @lawrence208
    @lawrence208 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd say the "smitty" only works if the defense is convinced you have a post game. The whole point of half turning your back to the defender is to lull the defender into a squared up stance where he thinks hes about to get posted up. you cant see the defender squaring up his stance when you do the move so you're banking on the defender following his instincts and getting in a post defensive stance while you're already on your way to the hoop. But if you don't have a post game or if the defender isn't convinced you have a post game, that move will not work as intended. been using that move since i the 90s. its not even a move you can go to the well too often because once you pull that move off and blow by the defender, everyone is aware of that hesitation move now. Thats why you usually save it for game point.

  • @jemorebrowne2959
    @jemorebrowne2959 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    That move is not called the Smitty . That's a move young mj came in the league with th-cam.com/video/oG4gU_RiJ2c/w-d-xo.html

  • @1ameman

    If u do the half spin and the defender don't fall for it. do a crossover, trust me he definitely gonna fall.

    @Mysteryboy0007 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    thank you so much devin for your videos and this one! I learn so much from you! I have one question though. Im trying to work on my handles and kind of be able to cup the ball like you and have it stay longer in my hands. Im afraid this may be called for carry tho. I notice when I play your moves in slow mo it almost seem like you are carrying but your hand is not exactly at the bottom of the ball. What are your thoughts?
