Top PG’s in the world give Passing Tips!
Sunday, June 13th, 2010
Steve Nash (Phoenix Suns), Jason Kidd (Dallas Mavericks) and Deron Williams (Utah Jazz) talk about the fundamentals of passing and give basic passing tips to help you improve! Such as: reading the defense, what types of passes to use and taking PRIDE in your passing! I know something we teach at HOOP DREAMS BASKETBALL is that “A good pass, leads to a good shot”! So, basically saying, making sure that you deliver the pass at the right time, right place, and on the seams (passing, so the seams of the ball are lined up when the receiver catches the ball)! So, lets get to work and enhance our passing abilities!!!

Jump Roping at its BEST!!! (Simple way to improve daily)
Monday, April 12th, 2010
For those of you who train with me know that I am big on Jump Roping on a daily basis. I believe it is a simple and “cheap” (jump rope costs from $1 – $10) way to improve foot quickness, conditioning and muscle endurance!!! In this video above Floyd Mayweather Jr. (pound for pound the best boxer in the world) displays impeccable footwork, speed, quickness and control over the jump rope! I believe that this is a big reason why his hands and feet are so quick as a boxer!!! So………….I want to ask you to challenge yourself to match his (Floyd Mayweather Jr’s) intensity, focus and control with your own jump rope and workout!!! In due time, you will begin to reap the benefits of what consistent jump roping can do for you in your own basketball game!

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!!!
