when there's no opportunity for you to shine your light, use what you learn to educate the people behind you. inspire the youth and help them shine their light. it's never too late to be great. The universe has different plans for us all
@@ODSKhari couldn’t have said that better. As a coach I always try to use my experiences as an advantage for the youth moving forward. The youngsters will listen if they know you’ve been there!
Only applicable when the player likes to continously bump their defender until he gets to the post. If you could time his first contact that would work too but that requires great anticipation.
@@SlappedOut if ur playing with young dudes who are gym meatheads youll get plenty of opportunities. i remember at my school youd see these kind of guys every day. just backing down any and everyone with the most aggro bumps and pushes. doesnt look like basketball sometimes
Use their aggression against them. Pull the chair only works when you have someone who is big but not used to the post game so they only they think they have an advantage is to bully their defender.
Defense is something you wanna do. Gotta have a desire for it. I was the best defender in my day. It got me on varsity as a sophomore and I had no business on the team but since I was a lock down defender I made the team. I’ve guarded cp3, Felton, melo, jarred jack and many more in HS. Ask CP3 if Andre Reid from RJR HS how I had them straps. Lol
Pulling the chair doesn’t work as much nowadays because people don’t use it as a power move anymore. It’s more of a way to set up n alternative move unless you know you have the weight advantage
I love when they try to bully me in the paint and I let them lean on me a couple times and just when they go to bump again I side step and make them fall. Can’t just move out the way got to catch them off guard and sell it just like a fake.
@@thedude7737 It could also be that they're thinking of what they wanna do, or they're going against someone weaker than them so they know it's gonna be easy an easy basket.
As an guard who can kind of hold my own on backdown from bigs I never usually pull the chair but one day I pulled the chair on my friend who outweighed me by 70+lbs…. It was the slowest fall I’ve ever seen. 10/10 recommend
Exactly that’s how I could be 5’8 guarding 6’3 guys in high school. They have strength and height advantage the only thing left is IQ, body positioning and fundamentals.
Good tips. Add to the close out that you close out to the side that is the dominant hand of the shooter. And with your hand up that is the opposite of the shooters hand. That way if you try to block you don't jump into the shooter, but jump and land to his side. And for a right handed shooter, your left hand being up it's better to get a piece for the block. And if the shooter pump fakes, you can recover for the drive. And by being at his side, he'll hesitate trying to shoot as you come down because you're still next to him and facing him, instead of running into him for a foul.
I don’t bother the shot pocket as a defender because I want the ball handler to get comfortable exposing the ball. If you’re guarding me, you won’t be able to bother my shot pocket because it’s not there until I’ve created space; every shot that I take is a quick transition from dribble to release, so until then I’m always moving and dribbling the ball.
Running them off the line is the same concept taught in the 1970s. If anything the set shots then had quicker releases than todays jump shots. However the release point is harder to reach in todays game. But that first one made no sense.
The stutter step is to keep you on your toes ready to move, you over exaggerate when you close out from the distants you did it in. If you run off the shooter like you did, that boy almost took you off the jump, I imagine of he were an adult you wouldn't have had a chance
I had a friend who was a lockdown I swear he did all this but it made me realize having one set motion for a shot isn't good so it made me start practicing shooting different angles for this reason exactly
getting good at defense helps a lot offensively, like the shot pocket defense once u realize its a weakness the logical thing to do is work on getting ur shot going from any pocket/space to counter
Low man doesn't always win. Some guys are just gonna have better footwork or purely more power. Also if you go to low you lose all the leverage really quick. Like 1 millimeter and you lose the battle. I played center Freshmen Year and most of middle school. Strongest dude on the team, and can tell you from experience footwork will help you win more than pure power or how low you are.
Last one I learned instinctually as a WAY undersized and underweight kid. Was tallest on the team at 6'2 and forced into F/C despite being the best shooter. (Love coaching) But in pickup, guarding way bigger dudes that didn't know how to use their weight like that was a breeze on defense. Could pull out that chair once they did start using their body and get an easy steal. Obviously wouldn't work on experienced big men who are just bigger and stronger than you by a mile, but in pickup it's pretty useful.
The "1970s closeout" actually works very well if you do it correctly. Don't slow down to early and take a wide stance to allow the shooter to land safely.
The shot pocket thing works for most people, but I guarded an ambidextrous shooter one time and it didn’t matter what I did he could find a way to shoot and it went in pretty consistently.
I love how every sport has an infinite loop if both participants somehow get into it. Examples: In basketball, the shooter and the defender would infinitely get into a loop of posting and agitating the shooter until either the shooter performs his shot or he drives or he gets a violation. In Judo, both participants would try to leg sweep or grab the opposing shoulder of his opponent causing both to spin infinitely until one gets dizzy or one stops but would get sweeped or have them in a more vulnerable position. In Golf, you could get into short distances and somehow miss every single par close range if you are actually balls at the sport. Could only be broken after you've put it into the hole. Lastly, in badminton... If both players are good enough, they could rally forever.
Best defensive tip IMO if you’re just hooping but it’s still competitive games where guys play D- force the guy to his off hand. Literally just set up with your feet and hips completely open to his off hand so he can’t go strong side at all and let him see the free lane with the off hand. You basically stand 90 degrees to him like a wall blocking his strong hand. That will work with like 75-80% of guys assuming you aren’t playing college or pro ball
Okay. This man has more than a clue. Most don't have the beginnings of one IMHO. That includes the majority of NBA players coaches and scouts. it's downright baffling. very happy to see quality basketball content it's refreshing you'll learn more watching and digesting someone who's breaking it down like this than watching NBA ball
Best defensive tip for any just casual ballers is to just force the offensive to their weak hand. It's wild how many players never develop their offhand. They usually learn to cross once to the offhand to get the defender to shift but go back to the strong hand.
I like this video. Yes, study/ observe that shot pocket that person you guarding. Decades ago this 6'2" shooter brought the ball back behind his right shoulder. Me, 5'7" and trailing, so when he went to stop and pop. I was able to block his shot on the right side. It was fun.
gotta closeout on the correct side though... run at their shooting side. On the flip side, when you know someone is closing out on you, just shoot and ignore them because they aren't trying to block your shot.
Finally a basketball short that actually has good information. The last 5 that have popped up have all been terrible. If you are learning the game, take it from a 40 year old weekend warrior this is the sort of information you really want.
We used to play games in my cul de sac to like 50 in 90° heat as kids. I remember this 350lb dude that lived at the bottom of the court named Big Pete. That man was bow legged af but QUICK for a man that size (he was a football coach too). I was guarding him in a game, getting low and wide to get leverage on him (I'm like 5'9" 180lbs). Pete was like "yo Teé stop pushing me. Stop pushing me Teé." Everybody on the court was like "Bro, HOWWWWW???????" 😭😂😂 Get low, get wide, move the feet and learn to anticipate the bounce and their movement.
I shoot so good when I bring the ball to the left like kd. Arm always finishes straight in the rim. Shots either short or long. Just hard to make it a habit. And it doesn’t feel very natural.
Nice tips, I’m going to be a freshman this year, I’m only 5’5 and like 115, so yeah I’m pretty undersized but I will definitely use these tips for my coaches to notice me at practices
tip #3 is the truth. im 6’4 skinny as shit but cant get bullied most times down low bc i always got my knee/thigh right behind n under that lead leg. get that forearm in the ribs too n it’s shutdown
If you wide stance and get low in the post they are just gonna bump and make a quick move since your already set in a strong stance . If you play in the post you want slower players to play like that , it’s literally the first move you learned offensively in the 90s in the post
Another thing I'd add that players don't do is playing defense with your palms up instead of down. Less likely to get foul calls when you swipe up instead of down.
If you run out like that on a player with any kind of quickness and speed, you're going to get left behind. I'm surprised people aren't taught the low leverage in the post thing at a young very age, though
I needed you as a basketball coach when I was younger

He will lock up lebum for sure
i always want to try pulling the chair out but i never end up doing it
Only applicable when the player likes to continously bump their defender until he gets to the post. If you could time his first contact that would work too but that requires great anticipation.
i was gonna say youd have to pretty much do it soon as he goes for his first bump in the post.. not really applicable in todays pick up game overall

I don't know man hitting them with a chair is a bit excessive
As a 1970s coach, I am all in my feelings here!
oh no :( we love you bro thank you for helping our parents ball out 🤞❤️
“No Hotdogging” smh

@@eric_auzennebeing 230 6'2 I can easily bully people with that move, definitely my favorite
amen@@cdgbdrhvnh
Facts. Took me 5 years as a teenage to learn this stuff on my own. Would’ve loved to have seen this at 10 years old.
I love when they try to bully me in the paint and I let them lean on me a couple times and just when they go to bump again I side step and make them fall. Can’t just move out the way got to catch them off guard and sell it just like a fake.
if they go for a third bump they got no bag. usually after 1 or 2 they go for a spin or stepback/fadeaway
Na this is actually smart bro
Nice anticipation strategy. Same with going for steals....where is the ball about to be by the time your hand is there to poke it?

That first tip, that’s the true test of your hoop shoes 😂😂 if they’re not good or the court is bad, you are flying outta the play
Lmfao thats the truth
just need the weekly scouting report for my old bastards' rec league, then I'll know where everyone's pocket is

Keep it up man, you help a lot of people keep active.

a great tip is having your feet wider than the offensive player if you get beat you have a great chance of recovering for a block

Evolution of that 3 point line changed how you gotta play defense for sure 👌🏽

Exactly and if they slide their feet properly you can prevent the drive as well
Finally a video on defence
If you can get your arm inside somebodys shoulder/chest, you have leverage, especially if you are low

No one I played with ever did a 10 step close out like that.
I use the shooting pocket one all the time, extremely effective, especially if they have a janky form where they can't protect the ball
Curry gonna laugh his a$$ off 😂
didn't know about the 2nd and 3rd one, a[preciate you bro 🙏

you'll learn more watching and digesting someone who's breaking it down like this than watching NBA ball
The higher the level the more crafty players get so that stunting the shot pocket may not go to well

This is legit... I can't tell you how many social media coaches I see and shake my head. But this guy knows what he is talking about ‼️
The second one, I've seen so smart shooters take advantage of that to get free-throws

I always sneak my hand right in their lift path and wait, easy steal every time. You gotta be careful though, it's easy to foul someone like that too
Most simple tip to defend a shooter is just always have your hand up
This helps alot man 🎉
Running them off the line makes you susceptible to a crossover
And when they 6'7 or taller just hope they miss..
Good advice!
We used to play games in my cul de sac to like 50 in 90° heat as kids. I remember this 350lb dude that lived at the bottom of the court named Big Pete. That man was bow legged af but QUICK for a man that size (he was a football coach too).

Get low, get wide, move the feet and learn to anticipate the bounce and their movement.

Very good video man
One of the best vids
that 1970s ten step close-up look like Jokic on defense
Practical solutions that work, Love it
Great advice!
Actually number 1 works very well when you do it fast and in different increments of stuttering steps. Stay Focused!
I shoot so good when I bring the ball to the left like kd. Arm always finishes straight in the rim. Shots either short or long. Just hard to make it a habit. And it doesn’t feel very natural.
I ended up “pulling the Chair and got called for a Tech… Like huh? 🤔
The refs in highschool be wildin
I was just about to say i don’t think you can do that anymore. 😂
You know ball! 🏀
Running the shooter off the line is how u get crossed
Don't forget to use the opposite hand. It's an overlook technique
gotta say, despite how ridiculous kuroko's basketball was, their explanation on how things work was pretty solid and true to how it actually is.
Building my defense bag 🔐

God damn the court got so much grip you can hear it
Great vid
Holy bro the shot pocket is literally a life hack
Bravo and thank you😊
Bruh my dad does the shot pocket thing so good it's so annoying
Sounds like very good advice
the problem with sticking your hand out is that you can easily get a foul off of it
Coach always said low man wins when we did lineman drills for football
If you wide stance and get low in the post they are just gonna bump and make a quick move since your already set in a strong stance .
If you play in the post you want slower players to play like that , it’s literally the first move you learned offensively in the 90s in the post
The real wayward gem rework was the freshies we gripped along the way
Dope vid… If you get under me in the post, you BBQ CHICKEN🤣🤣🤣
number 2 is the reason i practice different shot pockets. It's honestly not that difficult.
*Man with low stance wins*
Other man turns out to be Shaq 💀
I love that you have one hand out and one had to shadow the basketball.
Force baseline- only critique.
Great video coach
After my knee Surgery i know where i will be learning defence. Thanks!!
I got cooked in the post a couple days ago my man had like 7 and hit game winner. Awful feeling I couldn’t do anything.
When I pull the chair out, they're getting mad, tho. Hahaha
Another thing I'd add that players don't do is playing defense with your palms up instead of down. Less likely to get foul calls when you swipe up instead of down.
"Bothering the shot pocket" is an easy way to get a defensive foul called on a simple rip through.
Which is why stunting is a fluid way to keep your balance & be ready to react on a certain move.
I was wondering if someone was going to say this. This is how a lot of defensive players in the NBA pick up cheap fouls.
If you run out like that on a player with any kind of quickness and speed, you're going to get left behind. I'm surprised people aren't taught the low leverage in the post thing at a young very age, though
If you try to mess with a shooters shot pockets, an elite scorer will use the at to draw a foul (James harden and Trae young for example)
Underrated vid
omg i know u would be a crazy good defender
The kid is growing and will be putting in the work.
This is why I practice shooting from any side without a shot pocket
Tip: don’t pull out the chair cause 96 percent of the time it won’t work
