Dre Baldwin: How To Be Aggressive & Fearless Driving To Basket | Finishing NBA Scoring Tips

[theskeletonslayer]

lol your answers are funny and what you say is so true like ur confidence will increase when ur skills do

[dreupt]

@theskeletonslayer yep

[narumango22]

Dre every time i practice and then stop for a few days i completly lose my handles and my jumper is that normal or is that because i dont have enough practice?

[dreupt]

@narumango22 u tell me

[unaisibra221]

yea i have this problem i have no confidence in ball handling and when it comes to the defender (OH GOD HELP ME) i make myself look bad

[dreupt]

@unaisibra221 use my Ball Handling PL & Hoop Handbook ur confidence will increase when ur skills do

[Gschmidt247]

Dre, is there any way you can work on your passing and court vision when your not able to play with other people?

[dreupt]

@Gschmidt247 i have passing drills posted. u cant work on court vision if tere is no one to see

[qyxzz]

Good advice. I play pf/c, but I like to face up and drive against my man if he's slower than me, this helped. Thanks

[dreupt]

@qyxzz ur wleocme

[gamevirus01]

Hey Dre i always get cut off when i am driving is that any ways to counter that?

[dreupt]

@gamevirus01 get better with your moves & skills. Hoop Handbook

[MrPainfulTruth]

He is correct in that all the pickup moves you see here are nonsense, all these ganon bakers and so on with their "special super duper how to destroy your defender in 99 ways" videos miss the point that in real games, its the first step and the first dribble that bring you by your guy and all you must do from then on is finish or draw help and drop it off. What Dre misses here tho is to explain how to be aggressive, and physical and fearless. But thats a mighty secret anyway.

[dreupt]

@MrPainfulTruth not everything in basketball or life comes in a "how-to" manual. go and live life you learn things

[xZipzi]

nba?

@dreupt where do u get your gear and did u use any jumping aids to be able to dunk?

[dreupt]

@MegeLalalander the gear, from stores that sell sporting goods. or any website. and see my Vertical Jump PL

[thessbest1231]

The only time you should or could do 2 or more dribbles is when you are playing around with ur friends or playing for fun....right dre.

[dreupt]

@thessbest1231 not necessarily. u react in the moment

[lager5002]

im 16 n on my varsity bball team. ive only been playin for about 2 years but ive dedicated my time to it..n what ive found really helps is a jab step n explode the other way. its my main move i use to get to the hoop im usually doin it in 1 dribble sometimes 2. if i get cut off some how either by a helping defender or a got a quick gaurd on me when your exploding the other way use a cross over n get em off balance cuz theyre already goin one way to stop you n wen u cross ovr theyre on the ground

[dreupt]

@lager5002 cool but there is no move that wil always work

[YoungFloMusic]

[zhiker07]

[corndog984]

Would it help me if i purposely had someone pushing me as i drove in at practice? Im only 13 and still pretty prime, and thanks

[det0ks]

@corndog984 hell yeah it will help, you will get pushed around when you drive in actual games, especially if you are already driving with ease, they might try to rough you up. Its always better to practice with contact.

[raisinbrand32]

thanks dre this helps alot

[dreupt]

@raisinbrand32 sure

[jamasterj25786]

which type of knee pads r those?

[dreupt]

@jamasterj25786 McDavid i think

[BlackJack719]

I'm about the same height and weight as you Dre, only thing I gotta do is work on going to the hole aggressively and ball handling but keep up these videos, they help give insight no doubt

[cowsmurf123]

yo dre i drive aggressivly to the hoop and get there but its hard to finish over taller and higher jumping players how do i finish over them

[dreupt]

@cowsmurf123 practice

[TheVoiceMutation]

@cowsmurf123 use a floater for taller and high jumping players, or pump fake, or go for the reverse

[Genstafa]

@cowsmurf123

Try a floater...?



[tyleraxam344]

@cowsmurf123 shoot a damn floater

[BackoiMedia]

Yo dre, ive been working on my game, for around 4-5 months now, and my first game kicks off tommorow, im really psyched up, but i dont wanna get too pumped and then fail, you see thats the problem i got, is putting my self in that mental state you always talk about..help!! lol

[4evereminemlover]

I am a red shirt (practice only) on the JV team and a starter on the under 14 team, when ever I shoot the ball it hits the ring from inside and goes out any advice?

[iphone722]

i play JV for my school and the players i go against are lengthy and long. And i'm a short and quick but when i'm driving they are right there with me because they have the advantage with their long longs. and they always reach too any suggestions?

[dreupt]

@iphone722 Work On Your Game. I have a lot of vids here. 

[iphone722]

@dreupt Fo'Sho Good Lookin Out

[JTL1722]

@iphone722 try to drive, then when they collapse on you kick it back out to your other guard. He'll be wide open for a shot. That's what i do because i'm usually in the same situation as you are

[colbeyG]

Hey dre im the pointgaurd for my team and they get mad if I shoot a three pointer (but I make them) and they called me a ball hog so I pass it to them all the time and there to afraid to shoot it ... and im the only one that will shoot ..... Wat should I do ...

[dreupt]

@colbeyG it's ur life. u decide

[colbeyG]

@dreupt hey Jw do u have osgood schlatter disease .. bc i. Have it and it affects my game is there something I can do or help it ....

[theft211]

@colbeyG yeah my coach does the same to me... our team sucks but i kill. i'd say if u think u got time to take the shot, do it.

[colbeyG]

@theft211 dont u hate it

[JTL1722]

@colbeyG shoot it when you can. if your open take the shot. if ur not open then dish it out

[TehScottyBoy]

Did you go to college? That's usually the best way to make it to the NBA.

[mmabadass209]

u should tryout for d-league! your the best!

[akakebo]

i need a video on how to beat a very tough defender

[OaklandRaider02]

[dreupt]

@OaklandRaider02 mcdavid

[sam21581]

[Dkidprodigee01]

Isnt there a way that you can tryout for the D-League or something??? Your talent could get ya far... You kick ass man...

[dreupt]

@Dkidprodigee01 thanks. stay tuned

[VidMaker1996]

i was like you no one to ask for guidance. i started all by myself and no one really to help me other than 3-4 people for like1 day or 2. after my 8th grade season we only won 4 games. so these 4-6 months in the off season i feel i got better in these 4-6 months than my 2-3 years playing. all i need to work on is my quickness , vertical ability, and defense

[dreupt]

@VidMaker1996 thanks for watching!

[kinglbj329]

thanks for this vid man. helpful once again

[dreupt]

@kinglbj329 ur welcome

[VidMaker1996]

i love bball you don't have to be the fastest strongest or jump the highest. you just have to know how to use your skills and have a very strong mentality. you helped me develop my skill by convincing me to work on my fucking game. thank you. also to get better at basketball is to play against people better than you they teach you how to be better by playing with them.

[dreupt]

@VidMaker1996 glad u are gettin better!

[xiamwillx]

[pwnstarist]

I'm 5'7 and wondering if I'm doing well if I can touch the rim cuz when I try to go to the basket I feel like I'm not jumping high enough.

[dreupt]

@pwnstarist keep workin at it

[dreupt]

@rezwanborja thx

[xingli123]

Is it possible that I grew taller but then I lost a few inch of hops.. I realize that after I grew like a few inches then i start to lose some of my hops due to not excercising. And i start to having a harder time blocking guys and rebounding. And now im even scared to jump up for rebound because of the contacts.... Any tips for me....

[dreupt]

get back to exercising

[Dwaynewade46]

yeah you have helpd me alot on these tip videos. thank you alot. Subscribed :D

[TalloPL]

It helps so much! I just came back from playing ball with some guys, and they told me, that I was outstanding. And all I did was driving to the hole, just as you said, without fear! Thanks a lot Dre!

[dreupt]

no problem!

[rezwanborja]

I was playing pick up today and I remembered everything you said about being fearless and not being afraid of contact and keep on coming back attacking the rim, and it worked out for me, thanks for the tips Dre keep them coming

[dreupt]

good shit!

[LetYourGameSpeak81]

[ljaradat33]

thx

[dreupt]

ur welcome

[YoooPatrick]

6'1. I'm kinda slow cuz I started basketball at a late age (17) and I was fat that time and i just lost like 40 pounds recently.

[YoooPatrick]

Great video dre.

What do I do, if lets say the guy is quick and I have a slow first step. I mean i can keep on attacking but if I can't pass by him and i just charge in from the sides, wouldn't that be a charge?

[dreupt]

depends on the situation. bball cant be explained always in words. u have to do it and learn on the floor

[O4real7]

thats da way i think

[dreupt]

cool

[LeanderRyzing]

Can u post som drills to pratice driving to?

[dreupt]

ill see what i can do

[shaunyboy94]

my coach hits us with those pads (npt so sure how to explain them but I'm sure you know what I' m talking about) when we do our lay-ups or practising going to the hole hard.

[dreupt]

yeah those are great tools for anyone

[chess1993]
