  Thanks man, you’re the only YouTuber I know who focus on concepts and plays when it comes to offence, and not like most who says “do this ankle breaker combos”

  This guy is ridiculous, how he's able to provide greater value than explaining it himself (like all the other youtubers) but from going through hours of film and showcasing the entire range of possibilities and mechanics across multiple in-game situations rather than touching upon them verbally (or vaguely). Great channel I was taken by surprise how useful it is.

  Man, I really never comment. These are the best videos to learn basketball. The attention to detail, the cadence of the video, and the creativity to make it all work with just text and video playing at the right time. Unbelievable that it is free, too.

  If you&apos;re able to shoot well, that will additionally create problems for the D. Being able to shoot will force them to decrease the space between you and them, thus giving you the opportunity to drive past them. If you shoot poorly, the D could drop back and simply take their chances with you making the bucket or not. <br>If the D does manage to position themselves in front of you on a drive, don&apos;t be so intent on powering through as you might draw a charge. Instead, try hopping back into a shot or use that space to see which foot they put forward. If you can do a double hop back, even better. There&apos;s more space thus more ground they&apos;ll have to cover, and if you can shoot, they&apos;ll look to do that in a hurry. In turn, you now have the opportunity to pick a side on which to drive.

  Once you attack the top foot and get past them. &nbsp;Cut in front of them and force them behind you. Probably the easier way to get a bucket if you have a lane. You don’t even need to be faster than the guy. Just get your step in front of the defender and you’re home free.

  This is a lovely breakdown. You&apos;re right when it comes to trainers saying to always attack the top foot but that doesn&apos;t always work against good defenders. Good defenders will bump and be strong through a top foot attack so its important to be able to read the defenders feet and try shift them out of position so their stance is either too open for a back foot attack or their top foot is between your feet or shoulders for a top foot attack.

  I like to consider myself a little above average compared to the common hooper but I give anyone props who can anylyze the game in real time. I just spam dribble moves or use a quick first step and hope for the best
