Another thing to consider (in my opinion) is "speed change." If you are always fast and always slow, your opponent will notice and play against you. However, changing the speed makes it much more unpredictable and easier to get past defenders.
I teach my kids the “clip the hip” method, where you’re aiming to bump the defender’s hip as you pass them to keep a tight angle to the rim. I also teach a modified swim move to throw the defender’s hand behind you as you start your drive. In other words, as you start your drive your off hand reaches out and swipes the defender’s hand on your driving side, pushing it down and behind you as you take your first step.
Totally agree with all the steps In this video, once done properly, even an average player can score each time down the floor with good habits and solid practice. Thank you coach
Thank you so much Conley! I really feel more confident in my skills as a player and I cannot wait to use these insane smart skills against my opponents!😉
Thank you so much, i am clearly the guy who doesn't drive at all. I go in a little then either pass or go for a jumper or try a 3 pointer. I will definitely improve my handling and dribbling first and then focus on all these points. Again thank you so much.
@@kenleyreyes Varsity its a three day tryout but thr first day was pretty good it was more on the conditioning side which im good at so yea pretty easy
Straight line to the hoop : The examples in the video show that the dribbler has beaten his defender and his defender is on his side rather than in front .. so you have to beat your defender first, in order to go in a straight line. If you do not manage to beat the defender first, i.e., the defender stays in front of you, you would have to go on an outward path i.e. curve instead of a straight line, which is what the defender wants you to do. Then you would apply step 5 "counter move" which I would use a simple hook shot at the end when I near the basket , as I would be away from the basket by then.
for me its energy, once i started eating high protein foods before my practices i was able to get by anybody, quick switches in speed and quick stops and direction turns just to tire the opponent out before either driving or shooting
To your first point: kids these days watch the NBA - the NBA is all about a very wide, spread out floor where 5/5 players on the floor are shooters. They call every foul. They see so much space on TV that once they have to actually play in real games, they realize no one can shoot, and the paint gets packed and they aren't gonna get every foul call. Its not even that they're watching games they're watching full game highlights too. It's almost like watching WWE and then going to join a wrestling team thinking that that's how people wrestle and then they tap out in 5 seconds
@@CONLEYHOOPS for sure, can I ask for confidence advice ? Like I practiced all the pickups, low, high, tuck, euro, but for some reason I never drive in game, my coach really wants me to I just never do.
@@Bjay127 driving is a skill that takes work and focused work. It’s hard to all of sudden do it if you have never done it before. If I were you I would start with a lot of one on one and don’t settle for shots anywhere but at the rim. Go through contact and find a way to score. A lot of times we settle because it’s easy. It’s really the uncomfortable becoming comfortable that matters. Be clear on your goal and then consistently work on it until you love to attack the basket.
@@CONLEYHOOPS thank you. I did a good bit of finishing before with friends like on hip and hand off but that’s probably it. Since I’m on break I’m gonna get a lot of my friends together to scrimmage, and I’m gonna just keep driving. And do the 1v1 thing you said and I’ll keep driving. Thank you
Thank you sir, this video really helped me a lot but am still losing ball anytime I tried to drive with speed I always loose the ball even when pounding the ball hard
Hey thanks for reaching out. Hard to be specific without seeing you. But if these aren’t working. I’ll try to get some videos of some other methods for you! Be creative and work at finding opportunities.
this is great video like honestly i took alot of tips but one thing i will say some of the things are harder to do like at class or parks where u cant count on getting a foul or the defender not wanting to be physical adn not fou;
Ya but driving is about confidence. And not being denied. It’s more about finding a way to succeed. The more you work on going downhill and not letting people stop you the easier it gets.
Shot blockers love to time shots. So always attack the body and change rhythm. Also if a big is stronger and you get stuck, it’s the same thing. Changing pace and then getting into the body and then going away.
yes. So many players rush. When I started working out. I always worked slow to fast So my footwork and eyes would keep up. I always wanted to see the space instead of being too fast.
If all else fails just take three steps to the basket like Jalen Brunson did in this clip 🤷🏾♂️. That’ll do it all day baby, don’t worry about that travel babel. That rule Is so overrated if you ask me. They should let players take how many ever steps they may need to get the job done! Am I right!!! 🤦🏾♂️ 😂 like Rugby 🙌🏾👏🏾🤪!!!
Thanks for watching! let me know if there is anything I can breakdown to help you with your game.
Thanks

Yes that is definitely another great skill to have when attacking the basket. Appreciate the comment!
True, also you can dribble high or low and shift your weight
He did mention it tho
@Letsgo-ch8yrwhat are you yapping about 💀
@Letsgo-ch8yr you're just embarrassing yourself at this point

Love that! Great tips. Teaching players to engage with defenders once they get angles is so important.

Glad you think so!
if you're a big man then driving to the basket is easy regardless of what strategy you use unless you don't just big-body your defender
Being big and strong definitely can help. But it’s hard if multiple defenders come at you. Space is key. Reading is key. Appreciate the comment!
Thank you sir, this video really helped me a lot but am still losing ball anytime I tried to drive with speed I always loose the ball even when pounding the ball hard
Never about speed it’s always control. And angles. Make sure you are practicing against contact when working out.
@@CONLEYHOOPS ok sir to thanks so much for your concern
hey good video but i've already added these to my game and i'm still getting locked up on a drive and end up having to put up a bad shot
Hey thanks for reaching out. Hard to be specific without seeing you. But if these aren’t working. I’ll try to get some videos of some other methods for you! Be creative and work at finding opportunities.
@@CONLEYHOOPS Alright thanks and good work on your videos keep working!
I had a question about why I am not using the moves I work on in practice but then I don't use them in the game?
Either anxiety/stress or your playing timid
You need to use them, the more you do, more natural it will come to you
great thumbnail btw
this is great video like honestly i took alot of tips but one thing i will say some of the things are harder to do like at class or parks where u cant count on getting a foul or the defender not wanting to be physical adn not fou;
dang i cant spell
Ya but driving is about confidence. And not being denied. It’s more about finding a way to succeed. The more you work on going downhill and not letting people stop you the easier it gets.
The advice I need is to score on more athletic player, can you give me tips please
Stay tuned, i will drop some video about that
I love you man thank you
Glad I could help
thanks
No problem
When i drive my defender has a large wingspan and i get stuck or even a little bit of big body on me or even get blocked what do i do?
Shot blockers love to time shots. So always attack the body and change rhythm. Also if a big is stronger and you get stuck, it’s the same thing. Changing pace and then getting into the body and then going away.
It works I was able to make a and one play to send it overtime thanks!
Keep driving with confidence. Are there any other videos you would like to see?
If I have a quick strong and athletic short kid on me and I can’t possibly can’t get lower without falling what do I do?😢
Yes that makes it more difficult. The idea behind that is get space and use your length for shots. Always keep the ball high when finishing
@@CONLEYHOOPS ok
I’m learning this knowing I’m never gonna be able to use it since there’s always a guy open
How to get a habbit of tight angles and off arm swipe
All of its practice. It just takes reps. You won’t be good at first. But the more you work on it the easier it gets
My problem is I rush too much… gotta work on my pacing
yes. So many players rush. When I started working out. I always worked slow to fast So my footwork and eyes would keep up. I always wanted to see the space instead of being too fast.
yeah in 6:00 I also like Curry's patience but he takes its a clear travel. Maybe the definition of taking three steps...Crazy
The gather step in the nba is definitely an advantage.
Great video

@@CONLEYHOOPS how to be an effective scorer? like Lebron, Curry, Dame or even Tatum
@@lenskennycharles8953 I work on something like that. Thank you!
@@CONLEYHOOPS OK
You just need a quick first step then turn the defender with slightl contact attacking their hips and stay low.
Brunson, Tj Mcconel, nash luka are not great athletes quick first step isn’t that needed
Just cut and find a good angle practice that bois 👍🏻
Thanks for watching
bro got me pounding the ball in every possible position
All about the grind!
I have my son studying this video daily
Wow thank you. Appreciate the interest
3:05 no one talking about this🧐 like pause💀💀
Pound it hard 😂
😂😂😂
Play rec ball with hand checking allowed. Its hard AF to get by guys 😂😂
No hand check? Way easier....
Ngl, no hand check is easier
"Get inside somebody"💀💀💀
the more time the ball is in your hand the more control you have of it . hence pounding the rock
Yes, A lot of people think its about dribbling fast but most great ball handlers keep the ball in their hand more instead of dribbling more
#6. Exploit the body contact
I aint letting my friend lock me up. Thanks coach!
Update : I CAN'T SHOOT FOR SHIT 😭😭
Rock on!
funny the brunson clip he showed was a travel lol 3 steps
casually shows another curry travel later on
NBA does make it easier
I can do this while I’m playing 2k😭😂😂

Lol. You can get away with a lot at that level.
Wtf pls upload more
I will, Thank you🙏
I think I want Kyrie giving the tips here. Just saying lol
Kyrie is one of the best
also u should be able to shoot
So true. Being a great shooter makes driving way easier. Appreciate the comment
Why is Kyrie driving against the hulk 💀💀💀
That was the definition of anyone
Just floor it and you will drive over everyone
Maybe less of your face in this video and more on the players would be good. Thank you.
Working on it. Thank you🙏
