do you think you can beat me one on one?

guest — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 03:15:53 GMT

15, 6'3, Great shooter, monster rebounder, post moves that will make you just stop defending, good handles, deadly Tim Hardaway crossover, crazy fast spin dribble that I like to finish with a left hand layup, I'm right handed.. I block shots like Ibaka, I pass like cp3.

Stats: 30ppg, 10rpg, 5apg, 2bpg.

I play for my private school in Louisiana.

Who has the best crossovers in the NBA?

No, No, No.. DROSE DOES NOT have the best cross over, Russel's is pretty nice, but my man Chris and Deron are the top tier.

Deron has the best step-back cross over jumper, Chris has the best cross-over attack to the basket.

Re: who should i model myself after

Well first you should analyse yourself.

If you play small foward-2guard, then you have to work on your J.

Your shot of the dribble, off the screen, pull-up jumper, 3 pointer, fadeaway..

Thats a VERY important aspect of the game anybody should work on.

I have watched A LOT, of videos on shooting, and 100% of the time, non of them explain the full fundamentals.

Heres a quick list of things I have taken out of the videos and put into use.

1. Getting range from your legs, its very important your power comes from the legs, and not your arms.. you want your shooting motion smooth and not put into any stress of any kind, so trying to get distance and motion from the arm WILL NOT WORK,

a. Bend your knees, put the ball into your set spot.

b. push off the ground with the tips of your toes and at the same time push the ball upward, extend your elbow, while using your finger pads to push the ball to the hoop with a nice backspin.

I recommend watching videos that will help you show the correct way to hold the ball, etc etc.. but thoughs fundamentals I mentioned are very important, and are very hard to find explained in any video you'll find on the internet, ihoops does a good job, though.. so I recommend the ihoops video.

Handles are very important also, a lot of good videos that can help with that..

and basically a good player to anaylize depends on how you play, do you score first, or pass first?

if you score first, a good two players to analyze would be Russel Westbrook, and Dwayne Wade.

Pass first, obviously would be Steve Nash, or Tony Parker, or Jeremy Lin even.

Remember, PERFECT practice makes perfect.

Finishing?

guest — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:15:26 GMT

Their are A LOT of things that could effect finishing at the rim, maybe your too short with the motion, maybe your trying to get the shoot off too far or too close to the goal.

The best advice is to watch some Professional videos, maybe even some videos of your favorite player finishing at the rim, and just try to get the fundamentals into your game, after you get the fundamentals, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

Practice makes perfect... WRONG, Perfect practice makes perfect.

MORNING WORKOUT?

guest — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:10:26 GMT

I recommend Push-ups, sit-ups, some lunges, basically anything that can help strengthen your core muscle groups, but you don't want to do too many at the start, but do what you can and gradually let yourself do more and more.

Keep it simple though.

What professional basketball player inspires you the most?

guest — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:06:24 GMT

I feel like the player who inspires me the most, is the Lin-sanity man him self, Jeremy Lin.. His underdog story is so inspring, and could and should give everybody some hope and confidence for whatever they are doing.
