I’d disagree. People get doubled when you don’t think they can make the correct pass/contain their dribble. In this case it was the dribbling because he had no where to go
klappty66 it could go both ways depending on where they are at on the court . Sometimes the defender good enough to guard you straight up so we throw help at to him. Not necessarily cause we don’t think you can dribble or pass but because you lighting his ass up and we need to stop that .
Steven Watson I do agree with that but I’d say most doubles are situational rather than a defensive strategy. If you’re going to trap a player you need good rotations and team communication and at that point you’d run a zone. So i don’t think it’s the “ultimate sign of respect” that the op says it is. Some guys do get on hot streaks and need two defenders to stop him tho so you’re not wrong
Stop crying dude getting doubled is part of the game and your going to get doubled in the nba so this a good chance to work on your game while getting doubled
Kenric D It’s not a true pickup game- it’s nba players either trying out in front of scouts (for the fringe guys like Andrew Harrison) or vets and stars trying out new moves and whatnot, or trying to stay active. There wasn’t a third team waiting to play the winner, so these conversations are silly.
Kenric D I think they are implying that it is too easy to expose a double-team in a three-on-three scenario, otherwise I have no clue why this would leak from nba open gym rules to street pickup games.
Hotdog19opl nah they’re working on their individual offensive skills (shootin, dribblr penetration), that’s why it’s a pick up game it is supposed to be for practices. If you get doubled, the best thing to do is to pass out because you’ll have a 4 on 3 advantage not yo force a hard shot and miss get your decisions right, but when you pass the ball you’d never be able to work on your offensive skills
"We're not doubling on an open court" I've played pickup games where I'm 6 inches taller than the next man, you better believe I was getting doubles and triples as soon as I get the ball down low

If Booker wants to use these pickup games to get better at his pro game, then he should understand a basic skill a "star scorer" should know - how to beat a double team he's bound to draw, usually with a smart pass to open teammates.
As a LAKERS fan I didn't like Jalen Rose... but as an analyst he is one of the best & his knowledge & predictions about players & teams are mostly correct... So I've grown to respect him & like his demeanor!
Do I like it? No. But is it still working on your game? Yes. If you’re constantly getting doubled in NBA games, you might as well prepare for it via the offseason pickup games
Mezukage27 There are certain unwritten rules of pickup ball. You don’t shoot free throws. You don’t call 3 in the key. You don’t play zone, you don’t double. You can help, but doubling come on.
You can shoot free throws whenever you have a dispute on a call. That's the only time because #Balldontlie. Where I play pick up, doubling is just another part of the game where it hasn't gotten soft yet. Just pass the ball out. Simple
@@ghostflyzzz8871 but the difference is compared to those NBA greats, not "US" if he wanted to win he should not be crying on being double team, MJ/Kobe just figured out how to score over 3-4 defenders clogging the paints.. or he just want to say let me just shoot an open attempt??
Lol. I get doubled all the time in pick up and I’m no where near bookers level (obviously), “working on our game” would be booker figuring out how to counter that. I get that this is the off-season and these pick ups are usually to flex for IG, but we still balling and wanna win at the end of the day.

I agree with Jalen 100% on Booker. He's frustrated that he's on a losing team, not so much as being double teamed per se. Look, if you're good, you get double teamed. It's really that simple. That's basketball 101. Hell, elite players get triple teamed some times 🤷

If he made that, so be it *shrugs* We went 1 v 1 BUT rarely to end the game, no 1 v 1 it was 2 v 1 or 3 v 1....lol
The real reason he mad is because he gets double teamed all the time during the regular season, he wanted to see what its not like getting double teamed
@@jaynick5924 that's true... But rookie Luka was carrying his team to nearly 40. I know Suns are the worst organization... But I need a little more from Booker
That's what they want tho, just 1 on 1 iso ball like harden does all season. That's why they don't win because they don't play team ball. What's the point on playing 5v5 if you just wanna iso in the corner all game. If you want to work on your 1 on 1 game then call up the best perimeter defender on the Suns and work all summer with him. Ben Simmons and Noah are team players and they did a team move. Booker is a solo player and will never be a winner. He's not a leader and now has a bad rep for crying about a challenge
Well play 1on1 and don't use any screens or picks either. Better yet, make quicker decisions instead of dribbling for 10 seconds to set your scoring up before the double can get there

No doubt. If you get hot...we double, triple, trap, foul, steal, elbow....welcome to Philly, nigga
That's how you learn to handle, beating a double
You saying d book ain't a hooper?
@@dlxinfinite7098 Facts My Guy!
81... what you know bout a switch bro 😂
“Yes we are.” I like Noah now.
Devin booker going viral 😩😂
SMH Damn broha either shoot the shot or pass . Don’t be that guy crying , during the pick up game trying to control everything. Not a good look.
Jalen: Throws all the shade towards Sam Mitchell
Also Jalen: I'm definitely not throwing any shade towards Sam Mitchell
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Rando’s get doubled at the YMCA. Grow up and pass the ball.
That's lame
Maybe utilize Deandre Ayton better, then book can win games
I never heard of this rule. Am I the only one?
It's kinda showing too much respect too a player. Like a game of 21.
Truth. But he just need to adapt and overcome that by passing before getting trapped. In that regard, getting doubled is working on your game
No lmao
he could blow the whistle and call illegal defense
Nah. Devin Booker was the alpha in that court. They really did stop double teaming him games after games. Watch the whole video and stop riding the hype train soft social media
Played at a new park and I set screens. Other team kept saying that's cheating, but still 'allowed' it.
Screens are cheating???
Hilarious
People cannot handle screens. They are weak A.F.
I do the same....Pick n pop. Pick n Roll, etc....the only ones who whine and bitch are the young boys...they have no clue
Dont play at that court anymore
@@dlxinfinite7098 - facts. Those young folk be challenging you and then when you go ole school their asses, they get all but hurt. Pick n Roll all day. Stockton to Malone.
@@danoneall4013
Stockton to Malone!.....Shaq and Kobe!
This generation different . T Mac , Kobe Iverson and Jordan would never complain about a double team .
dont blame booker being soft on this generation.
@@TheIcemanthomas rite wtf wrong with him
@kemp Davis
95%?
I'd like to see the source data for that study.
@kemp Davis
Yeah....another duck putting up his own fake "study" numbers he got from the homeless shelter...lol
Stone Lover you really sound dumb just look at the comments versus trying to insult people with dumbass insults literally like 5% of people think agree with book but everyone else thinks he needs to chill out
Jalen still mad about that 81 piece 😂😂😂
Jalen got that "Photoshop lineup" huh. 5px Inner Glow
😂😂😂
Put Devin Booker at Point! Problem Solved!
brand83n hell no
brand83n wasn't he basically playing point last year?
@@IDK-0402 Nope.
And he'd still whine worse than a teen ballerina...he ain't built for it
They have their moments where they are just perfect
I understand what he’s saying but why did he hold the ball that long and just waited for the double team basically 😂
Because players these days want to jab step 20 times and then just pull up. They don't know the game just iso ball
Dude is on a 30 win team. He doesn't UNDERSTAND what a double team means, when you have four other players on the team? Explains everything.
maybe dont take 10 seconds to make a decision, and then u wont get doubled and turn the ball over
Fantastic editing. Wish there were more regular uploads of Jalen and Jacoby. Main reason I miss Grantland days are that these segments were far more common then
NBA player being paid millions and complains about a double team...
The disrespect on deandre Ayton is unreal dude averaged like 20 and 10 as a rook last season
Abdi Shair 16* and 10
16 and 10 and booker set him up for alot if those, but ayton as a rookie wasn't ready to create his own shot . And we had no real pg.
@@jaeehovaa Booker didn't set up crap for Ayton. Kelly Oubre was averaging more shot attempts than Ayton last season
@@supermanrun2313 Oubre played like 15 games for the sun's lmao again you another nigga jumping on the let's hate in booker for no reason wagon , you ain't watch shit but the Dawkins highlights
@@jaeehovaa Even with Bledsoe at point Booker couldn't win
Hoop is hoop, if you even have the reputation for getting buckets we're doubling off jump! You're going to have to earn every basket.
I'm use to being double teamed on the court and to me if you have to double teamed up on me then to me that's a compliment because you are saying that 1 man can't dee me up and I would get double teamed so much in games that would play 2 on 1 just to learn how to handle double teams situations
If Booker wants to use these pickup games to get better at his pro game, then he should understand a basic skill a "star scorer" should know - how to beat a double team he's bound to draw, usually with a smart pass to open teammates.
Jonathan Marcelo exactly, even the GOAT Jordan knew when it’s time to pass it to Paxson and Kerr.
As a LAKERS fan I didn't like Jalen Rose... but as an analyst he is one of the best & his knowledge & predictions about players & teams are mostly correct... So I've grown to respect him & like his demeanor!
DEVIN BOOKER AINT DID SHIT BUT MAKE A COUPLE SHOTS AFTER HIS TEAM WAS DOWN 25-30 points
Jalen rose is the best NBA analysts
Lol Jalen Rose tryna say Kobe shoulda had a hundred to not make him look as bad
Do I like it? No. But is it still working on your game? Yes. If you’re constantly getting doubled in NBA games, you might as well prepare for it via the offseason pickup games
As the guy that this used to happen to, even i know its soft. Use to make me a little salty though.
It means we know you good at ball but bad at positioning.
Things you don’t do in pick up:
1) double
2) take a charge
Things you do when doubled
1) pass the double to the open man
2) dont cry about it
Mezukage27 There are certain unwritten rules of pickup ball. You don’t shoot free throws. You don’t call 3 in the key. You don’t play zone, you don’t double. You can help, but doubling come on.
You can shoot free throws whenever you have a dispute on a call. That's the only time because #Balldontlie.
Where I play pick up, doubling is just another part of the game where it hasn't gotten soft yet. Just pass the ball out. Simple
Booker must have scored major buckets to warrant a double. Just take it as a sign of respect of your game and pass
Ummm that's how you're going to get better or how about passing the ball
4:29 The way he said Jalen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Unwritten Rules Dont Exist
Thank you sir, logic !
exactly.
That 81 haunts Jalen 🤣
Why is he crying? You want to win? You play everything and anything. Come on stop crying and work on ur game.
"sToP cRyInG" Lmao you definitely know basketball
@@ghostflyzzz8871 but the difference is compared to those NBA greats, not "US" if he wanted to win he should not be crying on being double team, MJ/Kobe just figured out how to score over 3-4 defenders clogging the paints.. or he just want to say let me just shoot an open attempt??
Lol Jalen came straight from the barber chair to set! 😂😂 still got the edge lines
Allen Iverson: Are we talking about "Practice"
Kobe Bryant: PROVE yourself.
Lavar Ball: I can beat MJ one on one. 😭😭😭
Devin Booker: Stop playing off-ball D bro!
Lol. I get doubled all the time in pick up and I’m no where near bookers level (obviously), “working on our game” would be booker figuring out how to counter that. I get that this is the off-season and these pick ups are usually to flex for IG, but we still balling and wanna win at the end of the day.
Everybody know Devin Booker's weakness just double-team him and he'll complain , cry and quit
He avg 4 turnovers a game...yep, we doubling
Joakim. Telling it like it is. 💯🔥 two time national champ knows how to play the game. Book is to talented with no 🔥 in how to win. Maybe he would get some serious work if he listens to Joakim. Love it Joa.
Booker showed us why they ain’t winning in PHX.
People get doubled teamed in 21 all the time
Yuup
Doubles? How bout 1 on 8...or half of the hood chasing you round soon as you get the ball
Double Everytime I see somebody who dribbles too much
Especially when they dribble endlessly on the sideline....easy trap
@@dlxinfinite7098 facts
Imagine an elite NFL receiver say this during a scrimmage with other NFL players.
“For those of you who’ve never played in a pickup game” If you haven’t atleast played in a pickup game u shouldn’t be watching this show 💯
I understand his frustration. Playing in PHX has to be a headache for him.
I've never heard of that unwritten rule I get doubled all the time
Exactly! ....
Not sure where these dudes from saying, "We DON'T Double!"
We Double many people playing pickup, NOT sure where these people though
@@OthoWilliamsJr right in your ghetto pick up. This is open gym with NBA superstars coming to work out with you so be fucking grateful and help them train like you're supposed to. They aint there to fool around with yall scrubs
@@krisdang those other guys were nba players also, not random joes
Tony Snell looked at Devin Booker like "yea we doubling" 😁
when they make this rule? Book being soft.
Do we know the background of that pickup game? Did the players have discussion about that game beforehand?
Da fuck? Is this Divorce Court? A legal proceeding?
I know what teams are gonna start doing this season. Lmao
I agree with Jalen 100% on Booker. He's frustrated that he's on a losing team, not so much as being double teamed per se. Look, if you're good, you get double teamed. It's really that simple. That's basketball 101. Hell, elite players get triple teamed some times 🤷
Now dudes out here gonna be doubling in games of 21 😂
Yes, where YOU from?!
When a nigga got 19 points they get triple team so I don't want to hear it
Fact. Great point. We were doubling back in the day. And... you ready for this. It was expected and It was fun! Didn't always want to end the game of 21 with a simple one on one play.
@@programR3
....Unless the person that's checking him, was a smack talker & backed it up....
We guarded the side so just in caseb he managed to get pass his FIRST line of Defense. And the cormers, every else played up. So we forced the long awkward jumper to win the game. If he made that, so be it *shrugs*
We went 1 v 1 BUT rarely to end the game, no 1 v 1 it was 2 v 1 or 3 v 1....lol
Basketball players are soft as fuck
Whatever it takes to win.. I get double teamed in games, I would appreciate a person who cared about defense in pickup. Weak!
No. Most disrespected NBA player is hands down Stephen Curry
The real reason he mad is because he gets double teamed all the time during the regular season, he wanted to see what its not like getting double teamed
Stop talking about Booker being underrated... If he's that good, he should be able to get 20 wins by himself. So far he hasn't showed he can 👍
In his defense look at what conference he's in
@@jaynick5924 that's true... But rookie Luka was carrying his team to nearly 40. I know Suns are the worst organization... But I need a little more from Booker
If that’s the case they you can’t come off a screen or pick and roll in pick up either...
That's what they want tho, just 1 on 1 iso ball like harden does all season. That's why they don't win because they don't play team ball. What's the point on playing 5v5 if you just wanna iso in the corner all game. If you want to work on your 1 on 1 game then call up the best perimeter defender on the Suns and work all summer with him. Ben Simmons and Noah are team players and they did a team move. Booker is a solo player and will never be a winner. He's not a leader and now has a bad rep for crying about a challenge
It’s not illegal but why double 😂. You better get better on defense
I would love to see the full run from this clip
I stopped the video after he said Jalen is the best NBA analyst in the game 🤦🏽♂️
Mustafa Yousufzai I don't blame you! LOL
Jalens voice cracked when he said they should’ve doubled Kobe
What a crybaby!
If ya get doubled in a pickup game thats some respect right there, or they know you and that u aint ever passing the ball
You are supposed to work on your game. The defender has to work on his.
@@stanleed.harold5457 Don't use screens or picks then
If a player is hot then double teaming him is necessary especially if he doesn’t pass the ball
Suns about to win 25 games this season.
Pickup games are for players to work on their game. Implement new moves we practiced during the off-season.
Well play 1on1 and don't use any screens or picks either. Better yet, make quicker decisions instead of dribbling for 10 seconds to set your scoring up before the double can get there
You should be happy that someone wants to double team you.. crying lol
I looked for the double. Split it. Or, hit the fade away.
Tatum so overrated it’s nuts
Scalabrine would NEVER
Video should be titled *Jalen Rose makes another excuse for getting 81 dropped on his head.*
You switch then double if necessary. You wanna work on your game do a damn 2 on 2.
