  • It's so simple, and a lot of players do it naturally. But lifting two feet off of the ground is something that we can easily incorporate in our game as another tool in the arsenal. Check out why and how it is done.

    In tennis, we do what's called a "split step" for similar reasons. Never liked split stepping as a kid, but noticed I was doing the "lift" in basketball and then realized why it was important to do in tennis too (mainly increase max static friction & better explosion).

    Changed my game immediately. I’ve worked all summer to get my handle right, and I’ve had good footwork but I never knew how to really create space. You can do so much with this movement. If you can read the defender and you see him about to jump ahead to cut you off, you can cross it over into a pull up, straight drive to the lane, and etc. game changer right here! Good video!

    This is one of the rhythmic things which can disappear when you get nervous and tight. With it you can keep the defense guessing. Without it you don't move into any motion smoothly and the defense will see it quicker. Gotta have bounce to get the slight quickness to get apart from defenders.

    💯💯💯 on point. Per the channel name, this breaks down the hesi into such an important detail. Understanding this and getting it down levels you your ballhandling up by so much, it's ridiculous. I used to call this "floating" and when I first noticed how much of a difference this made to my hesi, it changed my game so much. You get by defenders easier, you make reads better, you feel bouncier, and just feel better just in general. You LOOK and play like a natural and better ball handler in general. If you can master multiple moves out of this, you can get hella creative and effective.

    THIS is an amazing breakdown! I've been playing for decades and honestly learning this completely changed how I moved with the ball. Lifting/hesi/repositioning feet is a huge fundamental in dribbling that honestly nobody teaches. Great for putting this in so succinctly. You can make an ENTIRE series out of this (e.g.: Lift into a layup, lift into a jumper) and I would watch them ALL! Thanks again!

    @antoinerogers2692 3 роки тому

    This happens for me naturally. I watched a different video on MJ’s “pocket dribble” and he did this a ton. Its alil different from a hang hesitation which you can do more upright and do a head fake for a shot. This here is more like to fake a drive in a certain situation. In my opinion the best way to guard this is to cut off the off hand and do a fake reach to get them the offensive player to do one last protect dribble to throw off their timing. That should get u back in position to either make a play on the ball, or stay tight enough to disrupt the gather when do start their layup. Every milli second counts. Last thing i would this is good to do on defense as well if your switching your top foot. I do that alot because most people attack the top foot. But if i keep changing they have to think more about their move. The whole time that dribble is live

    Two important details are the pocket dribble and Drop Stance. I'd heard about the Drop Stance before but now that i'm preparing for a Camp where i'm gonna coach Ballhandling i can see that it is the foundation to all dribbling. Everything starts with a Drop Stance, the set ups vary and the reads vary depending on players and defense.
