Tips from some of the NBAs best on dribbling…
Sunday, March 21st, 2010
Here are some of the NBAs best guards, giving tips on dribbling, go to moves and counters. Every basketball player should have a “go to move” as well as a “counter” to the “go to move”. Your “go to move” is the move that is your best move and the move that you know can get you by a defender with the most success! Your “counter move” is a move that you use in conjunction with that “go to move” in order to set a defender up to believe that your going to use your “go to move”, but you are actually not. Some call it a “set up move” or a “decoy move”. This “counter move” enables you to continue to use your “go to move” with a high success rate, so that the defense cannot “read” you and steal or stop your “go to move”. Get to work and create your “Go TO Move” and “Counter Move”!!!

Good player to watch to get better – Stephen Curry!
Monday, March 15th, 2010
Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors – NBA) is a very skilled and smart player. His ability to shoot, drive and pass the ball at a high level has made it an easy transition for him to go from college to the NBA and still be a major contributor. I would definitely say to watch him and pick up his ability to move without the ball, pass, shoot off the dribble and shoot on the move. He is never out of control and controls his speed and quickness very well.

The simple…..”GIVE N GO”!!!
Sunday, March 7th, 2010
Here is an example by a fellow Hoop Dreamer, Ime Udoka, of how to use a simple play to score - the “Give n Go”! So many players these days want to OVER dribble and the “Give n Go” is an EASY way that you and your team can score without the ball being dribbled once! Watch how Beno Udrih passes, swims (a move used to get open on a defender guarding you closely without the ball), then changes speed on his cut and takes advantage of Will Bynum (Detroit Pistons) going over the top of the screen. This is what we call a “READ”, that both Ime and Beno made in order to execute the “Give n Go”. I was just talking with our Varsity (High School ages) Class today about how difficult it is to guard someone who constantly and consistently moves without the ball. So……if it’s not in your game, please add the “Give n Go” to your repertoire!!!
