My situation is tough. I got into basketball in january 2023 around my 14th birthday already. Also, i am Brazilian, and we don’t have great organized sports incentives in school. Last year i didn’t know how to dribble a ball, now i can do jabsteps, crossovers, between the legs and a bunch of other stuff. My shot is improving a lot too, but i think i just got into the sport too late to have any professional goals. If i had had the incentives earlier, my goal would have been to go pro in the NBB (Brazilian league) or might even the NBA. Thanks for all who stopped by to read. Stay strong and you’ll make it anywhere.
Giannis Antentokounmpo is one if he best players in the NBA. He has a hall of fame calibre resume and he started playing basketball by the age of 16-18. Giannis is proof that it’s never to late to start. Unless ur 22 or something 😅
oi irmão então, também sou brasileiro, muita coincidência te encontrar aqui, mas vou dar uma dica pra você, você não tá nem PERTO de começar tarde no basquete, você começou em um bom tempo, tipo nao é melhor né, mas com esforço e dedicação você consegue chegar lá, um dos exemplos seria embiid (o atual mvp) e o hakeem olajuwon (nao preciso nem comentar né) eles dois COMEÇARAM a jogar basquete com 15 anos, pegue um exemplo de hakeem olajuwon, um nigeriano que jogava futebol, mas era muito alto, por jogar futebol ele tinha um "footwork" insano pra um cara da sua altura, então ele trabalhou muito nessa parte, e hoje ele tem o melhor footwork da história, com provavelmente os melhores post moves de tds os tempos tbm, vou te dar uma dica, veja alguns drills, aplique eles, mas nunca faça uma rotina específica, treine coisas que você seja naturalmente bom, e também treine coisas que futuramente pode te ajudar, e um dos mais importantes vá em rachões ou coisas assim, esse é um dos mais importantes (eu nao sei onde vc mora) mas tente jogar o máximo de jogos possíveis e crie uma boa mentalidade para você conseguir passar em uma peneira de um time, entende oque eu tô flnd ? é isso irmão tmj
This will be the last youtube video I will watch, I need to commit fully and have no distractions. Ive already been grinding for the past 2 years but i know there are still things I need to improve on and this video covered all of them. Remember my name in 2030 -Jake eberle
Hey man… I just wanna say if no one will believe in you. I will, you can make it happen… I’m young too. Although I’m 5’8, 19 years old, I still give it my all on the court and I’ve been improving everyday. You don’t have to give up UA-cam videos, I promise there are more sources and examples you can learn from. Just last year I couldn’t even dribble a basketball, now I’m scoring on people twice my size off the dribble. Keep it up and you can achieve anything you put your mind to.
Im still 13 years old gotta turn 14 tho next month but making the nba is been my dream im gonna do whatever it takes just to make this dream into reality and this video helped me know what it takes for me to have my nba dreams real or have a chance and I thank you for making this kind video, I've been watching a lot of ur videos for the past few months by now and it helped me a lot, I've improved and build confidence with the help of your videos and advices!!!
Getting into NBA has become even more difficult for American players since the game has become more global and these international players are taking higher percantage of the available roster spots.
I’m 11 and 5’0 I train as much as possible but I don’t know how to work out? What can I do to start working out with no equipment and how can I get taller?
So I started playing basketball when I was almost 10, and I have gotten much better since then. (I am 16 now) However, I have my goal to become a basketball player, and train myself 2.5 hours a day on a daily basis(4 hours on Saturday and Sundays). Now what is the issue tho? Height. I am 5'5, but because I train much I am really good and can almost dunk, I am quite close ngl. I still haven't got my growth spurt so that is something, so I still have hopes on reaching NBA 🤞🏻
19, 6'9 knees messed up, cant dunk any more. First year college, not in team. First step i gotta touch my toes with out bending my knees. Secondly strong flexibile base. Thirdly shooting. Fourth mentality. Fifth how to gey through defender first and Second than into dunk.
Making it to NBA is my dream I'm a good passer and ball handler but I'm 5 10 at 14 and still growing should I make my ball handling and passing insanely elite
This is what I’m hoping to do. I’m in 8th grade rn and I need some advice. Every game I go into no matter what I do I feel like there’s a bunch of pressure, when in reality middle school doesn’t mean much, but I can’t help it. Ik what ok doing but it all like washes away during the game. Along with that I just came back from a broken forearm where both bones broke and one was in half so I’m still mentally recovering. Anything I can do before the game to prevent this?
Watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/5eHWHpYZu3U/v-deo.htmlsi=H2k1uOSUcKTc4ez0 There’s a million things you can do but to keep it simple: do things faster, add in defense, make something purposely harder by making the pass worse or the footwork a little off, add pressure to your shots and goals you need to hit to finish certain drills
I'm 13 and I'm a 5'10 pg/sg, idk if thats tall for my age or not, but I practice two times a day for 2 hours each, plus workout, idk if it's enough to make the league or not. I also needa build some confidence, do u have any advice on mentality/confidence?
So basically i live in Canada i go to a private school should i stay their? or should i go to a public school? Also i jus turned 14 years old 1 day ago how much hours should i practice for??
Practice isnt how many hours but what you're doing for that many hours. But ideally, you should be practicing by yourself for at least 2-4 hours a day. It's okay to skip some days. Practice isn't perfection, it is consistency
Remember the name Lance Elby because I know for a fact that I’m the one watching this video who is gonna make it. I’m not trying to be arrogant or cocky when I say that and I’m not saying that in the only one watching this video who’s gonna be in the NBA because I don’t know that but what I do know is that I’m gonna outwork absolutely everyone and make the NBA even though the odds are against me so remember this name, I’m a freshman in the class of 2027 and you’ll see me on T.V one day🏀❤️
I want to make it to the nba become the number one draft pick take care of someone else she is my why that's just in case i am working on becoming a two way player
For anyone that has any tips of how I can make it to the nba/nbl/nba g league or euro league (any big league that pays well and is popular like the ones I listed) that would be great. I am a young teen, I have good height genetics, and I have a good work ethic. What should I do to make my chances of going big greater?
To make NBA you have to really excel in high school or college. Try to increase your exposure by playing in higher profile leagues like competitive aau and tournament club teams that are known for good comp. There will usually be more scouts there which can get you recruited or even ranked depending on where you are playing. When you get recruited you have to grind relentlessly to stand out from the college players specifically if you go D1. This is because they all were also one of the best and excelled on their previous teams. So you have to go to bigger measures to to stand out. Usually you need something specifically spectacularly special about your game like very good iq like a floor general lights out shooter or a freak athlete or size. Then either declare for the draft or tryout for a g league team. When you make it do good in the g league and get moved up and sign a partial contract with an NBA team. And if you prove your worth you can be an official player on the roster.keep grinding and I Hope this helps
Hey, I wouldn't say that, im 15 now I was actually 5'0 at 14 and I grew to 5'8 the next year and im 5'10 now, don't give up. If you REALLY want this I'll tell you what I did to grow genetics still play a role but it isnt everything I believe in you
Respectfully, you’re not going to make the league because you only play 4-5 days a week. I played like 8-12 hours a day seven days a week when I was your age, played constantly, thought about the game more than that. I got to be pretty good but nowhere close to the NBA.
It's my dream to make it to nba I am from india and it's very difficult I guess to make it because of india sometime I think I won't be able to do make it 😢
Ima watch and listen but before I do. How are you qualified to make video on “making it to the NBA” when you’ve never made it to the NBA? I’m just curious.
Everyone who plays basketball is not going to be in the NBA and if they do, probably not be in it for long. But you can change those odds to be in your favor if you continuously work on your craft and do everything you can to be a great basketball player and athlete
For some players it is, but nba isn’t the only option. Europa has great competitions too where basketball is almost at the same level as nba. I would aim to play professionally, I say if you are 6,0+ and a above avarge athlete and still young like around 13-15, nothing should be stopping you from making it, it’s all you
@@Mohorwtv okay how many players in the league under 6’4 Unless you’re a light outs shooter you’re not even getting a call up under 6’2. Jake Gilyard is 5’8 but he absolutely dominated in college. He probably won’t be in the nba much longer either
Bro, no body care s bc no one ,and yet it basketball not that sport where we look at how they grew up, un like a boxer, the only wondering about there youth is you, you wasted my time,I thought you where going to teach ,but ur not coach level
To all of you who dream of playing in the NBA, Keep going and I hope you make it. See y’all at the top 💯

For basketball workouts if things keep getting easier what can I do to keep making them challenging finishing and shooting
imagine a defender and play with ur friends, shoot at game pace
