One of my favorite track from The Big Ten mixtape 50 put out last December. The whole tape was great actually. I like 50′s video skits that go around the songs; he did the same for Put Your Hands Up a few months ago.
Ultimate Athlete Hoop Handbook I discuss the different conditioning aspects needed for basketball — there are no shortcuts to having every aspect of the game’s movement covered.
“Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live.” – Nicolas Chamfort When I was a teen (and even sometimes as an adult) I would spend a lot of time contemplating the results of some hypothetical action that I might take. And my great human brain, ever the loyal servant, responded to my most pressing fears: delivering, front and center to my conscious mind, every possibility of something going wrong. We all know [...]
Ball Handling Program | Shooting Handbook Ever since I introduced the one-hand-under dribble to my game, I know i can pull it off at least once per game and catch a defender not knowing what’s going on — an opportunity for me. The move causes a freeze of the defense, and you move into the breach, so to speak, and attack — you can pull up, as I do in this play, or drive as your defender is flat-footed for [...]
Some great decision-making tips for the undecided and the slow-thinking. From the 99 Percent Blog: Gathering additional information always comes at a cost. We’re better off setting our criteria for making a decision in advance (as in, “I’ll make the call once I know X, Y, and Z”). Once you have that information, make the choice and move on. … If you’re wrestling with a difficult decision, consult a friend or colleague who’s been in your situation before. Their insight [...]
Ultimate Atlete 15-week Program | Add 10″ To Your Vertical Guaranteed To compete at high levels in this game, you will need more than just the on-court work. The higher you go and the better the competition you face, the bigger, stringer and more athletic the players will be. Your job is make sure you can still compete physically. Basketball is a total-body sport; there is not an area of your body or movement that can be neglected. Strength (upper [...]
Lots of people ask me about which jump programs are best to do. I have done several — Air Alert was the first at age 16 — and I can jump and dunk very easily. At 30 years old, in my physical prime, and having no trouble throwing it down, I don’t need Jump Manual right now. But if it’s as good as advertised, my experience will make it crystal clear to all of you. This is especially true since [...]
Crossover Hoop Handbook | Ball Handling Program The Scissor Crossover is a great move to use if you can pull it off — I still lose the ball occasionally using it in workouts. Getting your feet set wide when doing the rapid crosses is key to getting your defender to respect it, as the wide base makes you a threat to not only blow by, but to blow by left or right (given that you can drive left or right). [...]
Crossover Hoop Handbook | Scoring Moves #3 Program I don’t agree with the order — they chose Russell Westbrook as #1 because he’s the biggest (or 2nd biggest) “name” guy on the list – but all ten are great moves. Nate Robinson’s cross move made me cringe for his defender’s groin area. Rodney Stuckey’s double cross-pullup on Kobe might have been the best, actually. Chris Paul and Deron Williams each had great moves that could’ve been #1 It should be [...]
Scoring Moves #2 | Scoring Moves #3 If you’re a player that can cut and move off the ball, this is a great seres to learn and add your own twists to. You should be able to score quickly and efficiently off of a received pass and finish around the basket area; your size may be a factor but you have the skills to adjust when necessary. Protect the ball and finish through contact, using your body to shield defenders [...]
There will be times in your basketball life where: Someone you thought would help you, won’t Someone else will have seemingly more resources available to them then you have You’ll be passed over for an opportunity that you feel is perfect for you (and vice-versa) People you thought would take the journey with you drop out of the game You’ll feel as if you’re all alone in your journey to become the best player you can be It will seem [...]
Get Jump Manual || Scoring Moves #1 Program Throwing a couple down for fun. I’m setting some dunking goals that will be announced soon, so stay tuned this week for a blog/ video update.
Judging by the view counts I’m seeing, my videos are more popular in China on Soku.com, Youku.com and Tudou.com than they are on YouTube. Any Chinese-speaking (and reading/writing) fans out there that can help me make sense of all of these sites, and get an account on those sites? We’ll work out a business deal if you prove capable. Contact me.
Post Moves Hoop Handbook | Scoring Moves #1 Program I really started using hook and baby hook shot techniques in the last 2-3 years, but should have been using them sooner. Many players (and observers) incorrectly attribute hooks shots to post players or “big men” and a lot of us don’t want to be classified in that category. But a made basket is a made basket. And if there was a way for you to increase your chances for a [...]
Even after one of my college teammates explained and broke down the crossover move for me, I would still find myself nervous to actually put it to use. One day I was sharing that issue with the same teammate and he summed it up very simply: “You just gotta throw them shits out there.” Young players (and older players) ask me a lot about how to pull off a move — when to use it, how to set it up, [...]
Killer Crossover Hoop Handbook | Crossover Scoring Moves Hoop Handbook The snatchback crossover is a move I first encountered watching Allen Iverson during his early NBA career. Being so quick, and with the crossover move that he made famous, defenders played off of him… until he made some jumpers. Then they had to come up on him. To ease the punishment his body took on drives to the hoop, AI just needed a move to get defenders off of him [...]
Scoring Moves #2 Hoop Handbook I told one of my friends that I was picking the Lakers in 6 games over OKC in their second round series starting tonight. He told me I was “going against the grain!” and I guess he’s right: OKC is a great team. But I have to see them beat Kobe first before I can believe. One of my favorite writers — John Hollinger of ESPN Insider — had a great write-up of his prediction: [...]
Three basic offensive techniques at play here: Shot Fake Jab Step Jumpstop Floater Put it all together and you get the finished product. Now imagine what else you can come up with when you make combinations of all the skills you can master in this game. I’ll help you out.
I saw the basketball sneakers and got the band, but missed these: off-court training kicks that keep track of your movements when working out, however you work out. Imma have to get these also. Between the basketball shoes and these, I’m sure we are looking at roughly $400 worth of gear. If there is any company that can make you feel you need to buy $400 worth of workout gear, Nike is that company.
Post Moves Hoop Handbook | Scoring Moves #3 Hoop Handbook Every player can benefit form an ability to score in the post, no matter your size. You can use the same skills — crossovers, jab steps, jumpers — in the post that you use on the perimeter, adjusted for the space and situation you have. This move utilizes your ability to shoot — draw in or ‘raise up’ a defender with a ball fake, then use your quickness in finishing [...]
