hey, im a freshman and my brother will b attending harvard. my brother is a GREAT basketball player and is going to havard on a scolarship for basketball. his friends jamal coombs (uconn commit) and alex orioki ( uconn commit) Im around all these great players and i suck personally. is it sitll possible for me to go to a divison 1 school w hard work and detication. or is it to late? also how long do u dribble for when u do dribbling drills? uve motivated me to become a better player.

do you ever do any moving ball handling drills?

to each his own.

i can do all of those except for the the two b-balls through the legs. Didn’t se point in it so i never practice it

search the internet.

Hey, You know a work out/drills that can make your first driving step powerful, and has good extension?

na, you should ask them.

do u know wat type of workouts do hot sauce do. or skip to my lou

you should so in games you are used to seeing the floor while you dribble

do u have to do this looking up?

they can be done for a time period or a # of dribbles; find for yourself what works.

good to hear.

do you only do these for ten minutes or is this a shorter period then how much you would usually? If it is shorter, how long would you typically do each drill?

nice job. been doing some of these drills. i dont ge stolen that much anymore. barely. my shots are better too.

ha, na not really

doesnt ur back hurt, dang nice job

good to hear!

Dre: thx for da tip. I just finished a practise trying to use more the “finger tips” (and less trying to grip it in my hand of a split-second).
I was practicing eyes closed. It was really intense. Makes you much more aware of all the micro-movements of the ball and your hands/fingers! Anyways, it’s getting more comfortable…

finger tip cntrol gives you the best handle on your dribbling. i know what u mean by “palm” the ball, and no i dont do that. palming is technically illegal in bball.

Dre: you know hoe a lot of people say to dribble only using your finger pads (and not your palms)?
Q on that… When doing that, do you find that you kind of ‘palm’ the ball for a split second?
I find that I do that. It gives great control, but it’s a bit difficult (which is normal for new techniques) to get accustomed to.

Before I started trying this (in the last week), I let the ball touch my palm all the time. And I had pretty shitty control.

a good amount of concentration. practice it.

how do you do the dribling drill at 4:16 because thats the only one i cant do please help me!

thanks for the comment!

Oops…that should be: “It allows you to keep an eye…”

For those looking to improve your dribbling…try getting some big mirrors and putting them in your basement.

It’s pretty cool! It always you to keep an eye on your technique and make sure that it is always proper!
