I can spin a basketball . I've been practice,practice ,and practice and about one year later then I finally got it! It take long to get it. I'm a girl and 15yrs old :) Nice video!!!
Damn right it's for showing off. But in streetball you can use it just for frightening the opponent by doing such tricky stuff. It's about mental domination. That's where the "showing off" comes in handy!
I'm a middle school PE teacher and I just want to tell toy that your teaching skills are legit and I use your vids with my middle school students and they love your videos! Peace and Love!
Thanks for this Ilze! All along I've actually been doing it your way (spin direction & with index finger) and was able to do only about 3s max. So I started learning from other UA-camrs and they mostly spin the other direction & with their middle finger. I thought my way was wrong and wouldn't work. But trying their way it felt non-intuitive for me and I couldn't spin it at all. Watching your video it just shows me all I need to do is just stick to my natural way and keep practicing.
She's so smooth and cool. Solid tips.The longest time to spin a regulation basketball on one finger, while maintaining the spin is 4 hr 15 min by Joseph Odhiambo (USA) on 19 Feburary 2006 in Houston, Texas, USA during the NBA All-Star Jam Session (this is to correct an earlier reply I made to IIze which she replied to below).
@@theluneaus Ilze: I'm 76 but played b-ball all my life. I've copied all your ball-spinning graphics & tips, except the one-hand toss doesn't work for me as well as 2. I'm pretty much there - but NOT in your class. YET.
I remember when I commented about one year ago how she could motivate me to learn it. Now I'm able to spin it without problems for about 10-15s and to push or "throw" the ball up. I keep practicing! Thanks a lot for your video! :)
I have been practicing it for about 3 weeks and this is the best way to do it. I can spin the ball for like 5-10 seconds but I can't hit it with my other hand yet. I keep practicing. Thanks for the video 🖐🏀
That was beautiful. Spinning a basketball has always been on my list of things to learn how to do. As a young girl I could never do it. I'm enthused to give a try again.
This is really helpful :P, I managed to learn how to spin it on my finger, but only for a few seconds, but i'll practice, practice, practice. :D. Guys just so you know, most of my friends and me learn it easier by spinning the ball on your finger so starting with your finger rather than the nail is a lot easier.
Just imagine how much your jumpshot could have improved if you used the time for that? Spinning a ball on the finger is a gimmick that does not translate to being good at hoops.
Been trying to do this since 2013 and still can't do it. I think some people lack the co-ordination and I am one of them...just like some people can't clap on beat and dance. If you can't master this in 5 mins go and work on your jumpshot.
wow!! That is awesome!!Are you a Basketball player ? I recently ordered a basketball and I was so excited!! but wen I got it, it was deflated.Now ordered for a air pump n waiting for it. after I inflate, spinning would be the first thing I'm learning. Hope I cant get it in like 1 day.
@theluneaus no insult intended i think your videos are great its just some thing that most could pick up on thier own eventually :P love your video with 3-6 balls its amazing !
GOOD TOTURIAL! The way you teach it is the best! Saw many videos and this was the most helpful! Thanks a lot BTW the best basketball for me was the ''smooth'' one for freestyle
Thanks! Great to hear! I LOVE nike dominate basketballs, especially the light blue ones I have right now. Such an easy great grip.. Smooth freestyle balls - who makes those?
For right handers: Some people spin it clockwise, like in Harlem Globetrotters 40 seconds tutorial (allows you to use your left hand as a help at the beginning to make it spin faster), and some people spin it anti- clockwise like you Ilze Luneau ..which is better method to learn? I can't choose. Also, which is easier?
to answer the question that everyones asking "I can't catch the ball on my finger it just bounce off" all you need to do is move your finger downwards as the ball is coming down.
I always thought it had to do with trying to get a good fast spin on it, kind of like a gyroscope, is this correct?, or can you balance it with a slow spin? ( i cannot do it whatever i try) :-( .. maybe it's just down to practice.
@gerrardfan27 I've been able to spin a ball for years and it works but I don't think I do it right I use both hands to spin it and then catch it on my nail and then it goes for a good 10 secodns or more. When I try and hit it it falls off though and I wonder if that's due to not spinning fast enough.
By spinning it about an axis, you give the ball rotational energy which stabilizes it, just like a gyroscope or a spinning top. when you hit the ball to make it spin faster, you apply a torque perpendicular to the axis of rotation and tangent to the ball. physics!
is it harder on a basketball with little bumps on it? my ball has little bumps and it seems harder compared to a basketball that doesnt really have these annoying bumps
Hey, that's the way I do it. :D Well, try to, all the other tutorials I watched they spin the other way, so thanks a lot for us people that do it backwards. :D
I tried this and my finger nail is cracked and bleeding. Also some dishes and kitchen items were busted when ball hit the rack and landed on the stove. I will stick to knitting and sleeping.
Just tried this and hit myself in the face with the ball twice.
MrEggcake same! Well actually 4 times
I have been trying to do this for the past 2 days and you'll never guess how many times i got hit in the face with the ball!
Me to but now I know how to spin it
Mr egg cake and erica reyes yup i got hit in the face ten times
Only twice?
Damn she's badass!
I wanna use this so people will think I'm good when I'm actually not..
Oh okay then ..... Let me just fail at life again
matty barone OmgLOLOLO
I feel like this video is half showing off and half educational. lol
Anyway, I got it, thanks for the video!

probably the best tutorial i've seen on youtube. THX.

Awesome! Me, as a girl... I was looking for a woman who can spin a basektball. I got more motivated by her than any guy here on UA-cam to learn it. :)
I tried this and when I try to make the ball go faster by slapping it, I slapped it out of my hand and it broke the window to my DeLorean.
Terrible 😎
I dare all the girls to push cool whip pies in their face and put the video on youtube!!
I wonder if that would effect your time travel?
Go back to the the past...before you broke your car window.

wow... u r good .. u make it very aerobatics ...
Thanks ❤️
Happy 2020!
thank u very much for this tutorial!
Thank you :)
2-3 hours? I have been trying to do this for over TEN YEARS with no success. Some things are just impossible.
Thank you so much! I was able to learn it in about 5-6 weeks of practice! :D

"Very different things" is an understatement. That's how different it is
I've been playing basketball since I was 7...and I can't do the shit she just did. She made it look so easy. Props to women.
I got it on my first day of trying....thanks:D
Been trying to do this since 2013 and still can't do it. I think some people lack the co-ordination and I am one of them...just like some people can't clap on beat and dance. If you can't master this in 5 mins go and work on your jumpshot.
On first day I am balancing just few seconds
you remember my first basketball coach, she was as talented and beatifull as you. thanks for the lesson
Nice !!! Oh and the basketball trick too.
Wow, you're good. How long did it take for you to learn this?
Omg your a monster! Haha I got like four spins but I'm learning! four more than I use to. Thanks for the tutorial!
This was quite informative, Ilze. (Brenda)
Just...
OMG!
Amaizing.
wow!! That is awesome!!Are you a Basketball player ? I recently ordered a basketball and I was so excited!! but wen I got it, it was deflated.Now ordered for a air pump n waiting for it. after I inflate, spinning would be the first thing I'm learning. Hope I cant get it in like 1 day.
@theluneaus no insult intended i think your videos are great its just some thing that most could pick up on thier own eventually :P love your video with 3-6 balls its amazing !
i hurt my finger with the weight of the ball when i threw it in the air spining x-x
This girl explained well. Thanks!
i really do not remember, it's been so long ago since i started... and it depends on how athletic you are, and how much effort you put into it :)
Ilze Luneau...IMPRESSIVE...NBA Sign Her Up!
William Travis thanks. U so kind 😘
it took me a few days to do this. Thanks alot!(:
Great, you make it look so easy!
thanks, you made it very simple and easy to learn :)

My way is very easy
she make this look easy and yet it hard asf
Thank u so much huge basketball fan and wanted to know how to do this
Love it!!!
And I like ur muscle too. U have an athletic body. Wish I could have the same.
This actually helped me, alot! Thanks!
Does spinning the ball on you nail make it easier to balance it or does it just make it spin longer?
may i ask.
- how long did it take for you, to learn to catch it and keep the balance ?
does spinning it with your thumb make a difference
Nice video. I'll try it right now ;)
how long have you practiced?
to answer the question that everyones asking "I can't catch the ball on my finger it just bounce off" all you need to do is move your finger downwards as the ball is coming down.
all you got to do it try and try again...
@theluneaus yeah, but only street basketball
Nice! Looks so easy when you do it
Thanks
You spin it a different way than most people do, you got a good tutorial though :D
doesn't even look real..so awesome
damn Ilze is good.
ciekawe em interesting nice vid...i must try some day:)
I always thought it had to do with trying to get a good fast spin on it, kind of like a gyroscope, is this correct?, or can you balance it with a slow spin? ( i cannot do it whatever i try) :-( .. maybe it's just down to practice.

what finger is good to spin with? :)
this was a helpfull video. THNX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
damn dat ball spins perfectly
GIRL U R GREAT
Oscar Siamchinzhou THANK U!!! 😍
Something is wrong, when I throw the ball in the air, it BOUNCES off my finger then falls off.
how did it go?
how did you keep it balanced
By spinning it about an axis, you give the ball rotational energy which stabilizes it, just like a gyroscope or a spinning top. when you hit the ball to make it spin faster, you apply a torque perpendicular to the axis of rotation and tangent to the ball. physics!
i got question, how to make ball spin faster without using second hand? i saw some people hit ball with other fingers but which fingers?
u spin great it looked like u could be in the harlem Globetroters
is it harder on a basketball with little bumps on it? my ball has little bumps and it seems harder compared to a basketball that doesnt really have these annoying bumps
I met you at atherton hough
Izzy Marissa & Friends great! Thanks for writing!
wow! u are very good!
I can spin a pillow, but hardly with basketball. Which one easier, indoor or outdoor ball?
Hey, that's the way I do it. :D Well, try to, all the other tutorials I watched they spin the other way, so thanks a lot for us people that do it backwards. :D
Is it possible to learn such power
DazzlingPangro yes 😍
@@theluneaus wow I can't believe you are still on here after 10 years
DazzlingPangro yes and vote top 10 nba halftime 2020 👀
She makes it look so easy
Amazing
''Throw the ball''
-Ball falls
''Put the finger up''
t(-_-t)
Mission Completed.
i dnt hv neils i do it with my sken,
its much more dificult but i trained till i could do it,
i spin the other way around though,
cant do it like u!
I tried this and my finger nail is cracked and bleeding. Also some dishes and kitchen items were busted when ball hit the rack and landed on the stove.
I will stick to knitting and sleeping.
Dont give up so easily FrustratedBaboon :) How about next time you practice outside or in the gym :):)
