Ball handling and rebounding.

During practice last week, there were tons of times to go D-Wade on the kids.  I always made a clear path to the basket…  Too bad the ball kinda slipped out…  All the time…

At least I still have my defense and 3pt shot…  It makes me feel happy.

I need to work on my ball-handling and my strength. I to work on my ball-handling because I am not very tall and I will be counted on most of the time to be the primary ball-handler and right now, I am only an average ball-handler.

Definitely outside shooting and defense, and I have to play more under control at times.

Confidence, physical conditioning (gotta get that body fat percentage down), and being more of a leader. Skill-wise, my left hand is kinda weak, but I always work on everything.

For those of you who are looking to improve your game but don’t have many resources (i.e. personal trainer, private coaching), this channel has helped me immensely over the past 6 months.

 People hate playing against me because I’m so quick and I’m an in your face defender.  I got a pretty well rounded game because I was always the most athletic player on my team despite being the shortest.  I got a great ball handle too, any little quick kid growing up in Philly watching Iverson developed his dribble set up.  

My biggest weakness is turnovers.  Sometimes I get too flashy and I got an inconsistant outside shot.  I can catch fire but the weird thing about me is I shoot from a different angle almost everytime I shoot.  I got good body control in mid air and use it to often.  And I’m just under six foot but i got a lot of strength so I developed this go to hook shot in the post I love it.  It’s almost un blockable because I release it so quick. I’d recommend practicing that shot if your strong in the post or really short or both I take people off guard with it everytime.  

But the best parts about my game is my speed, defense, and passing ability.  Plus i play physical.  If you’re not on my team you’re gonna hate playing against me because I know all the dirty tricks.

 My handle, but at this point in my life I can get it done down low and shooting mid range jumpers.  If I were to up my competition past city league and pick up games I would need to get some better handles and a more consistant 3 point shot.

1.  Height.  And I’ve been tryin to improve it for years. 

2.  Jumper consistency.  I’m too streaky.  I get hot and can be like damn Kobe at times and then there are points where I am just ashamed. 

3.  Toning down the temper, especially in league play- Sheed Wallace aint got shit on me at times.

4.  Fix my ankle.  I need to rebuild it cuz I roll that bitch like 2x every game.  Hard to play ur best when you keep rollin it.

3 point shooting; solid mid-range game but can’t hit 3s if my list depended on it.

Left-hand; very right hand dominant but I’ve improved, just need to learn left hand layups haha.

Help D; I tend to tag the best player on the other team so I become very focused on him and let the others deal with their own men.

Need to learn to play off the ball too; as a 5’9" guy I’m playing PG almost exclusively.

Aside from that, I’m reasonably happy with where I’m at.

Defense and overall conditioning

I would love to try to get near the kind of shape/weight I was in high school

 1. Height and strength: I’m bleedin’ 5-6 118. It sucks but I’ve grown 2 inches in a year, so I still have some hope.

2. Shooting: being this small you’d think I’m a terricfic shooter, well I’m not, my shooting sucks.

However I am a good and very active defender, good passer and I think my basketball IQ is pretty high. You have to compensate with something except a passion lol

I could improve at alot of things, but I feel like I’m decent or great enough to do my thing in church league or pickup ball.

I play solid perimeter defense.  My post defense leaves much to be desired.  The first time I guard you down low, I will probably block your shot, but after you realize I can jump, you will score whenever you want down in the paint.  I am horrible at taking away a bigger player’s position on the block.  Other then that, I react quickly to passes, and will get plenty of deflections.

Offensively, for the longest time I felt like I was a great shooter.  (Maybe I was and just lost it).  Now I am a streaky shooter.  Mechanics are good, good form, but mostly its a matter of confidence.  When playing 5 on 5, I will defer alot.  I always like getting my teammates involved.  I always felt like my game was suited to be the 3rd or 4th best player on the court. I find my times to take over a game, but I never force anything.  In the past year, I have actually begin to take the ball to the hoop more instead of relying on open jumpers.

Too far?

To start off I am ambidextrous and am I very good shooter who is good on-ball defender with quick hands. I can also grab the rim off of two feet even though I’m only 5’8 160. However, I am really slow and it affects everything I do from driving to keeping up with much quicker players in transition. All my knee and foot injuries affect everything I do also. My one footed jumping is horrible and I can’t even get the rim off of either foot seperately despite being able to get it two footed. Strength was a huge issue last year when I only weighed 130, but I have put on some serious muscle by working out 4-5 times per week and taking high clorie whey protein and other mass building supplements like creatine, while eating healthy to make sure I don’t gain that much body fat. Getting stronger has allowed me to see improvements in every other category.

I would think being able to grab the rim off of two feet with both hands would mean you have some speed.  Sounds like you have some pop in yours legs if you are 5’8 and grabbing the rim.  Thats crazy.  You must be comparing your speed to TO and Usian Bolt or something. haha.

I’m the same way in regards to jumping higher off of two feet compared to just one.  Just the nature of the beast I guess.

I swear I’m really slow…. I dont do a full running jump to get the rim I just take about 4-6 steps and then I jump. If I do a full running jump I can’t get the rim no matter what method. It’s just really weird……
