Dre Baldwin: Simple Everyday NBA Ball Handling Drills | Easy Dribbling Tutorial Workout Step By Step

[joscastro1984]

@MrPainfulTruth I'm a small forward (5'7") and I am terrible at dribbling but yes it's always that first step at gets the defense. I can run right by them without making some flashy move. I just do simple fast step and beat them like nothing some totally agree with you

[joscastro1984]

@MrPainfulTruth I'm a small forward (5'7"

[SSCUltimateAero77]

damn you're a good dribbler!

[dreupt]

@SSCUltimateAero77 thansk!

[gottgaame]

@dreupt i wanna see you try it with two basketballs

[MrPainfulTruth]

very nice control its obvious you put a lot of time into this. I wonder though if you would agree with me that generally kids put too much time into this dribbling thing if you think about how you actually beat your guy in a real game (in my experience most of the time its just a good first step).

[dreupt]

@MrPainfulTruth thx. every player is diffrerent there is no one good way to train

[MrPainfulTruth]

@dreupt thx for your reply Dre. What i meant was that since you have only limited time for practice you have to make good decisions what you devote your time to. In my opinion many young players work most of the time on fancy dribbling which wont do that much in a real game (not referring to your stuff here which is good fundamentals) while not really improving defensive footwork or low post technique, but thats just my 0.02$

[mikedezzy231]

do u have a video on how to improve your left hand

[dreupt]

@mikedezzy231 yeah go to my channel, look at the top of the screen

[xoliqbalx]

[TheCrazy243]

I can do it! :) but expect behind the back and dribble under leg with one hand. I don't know what is called lol. Im a chick ! 5'1. But in the game im slow :/ need practice. Love all your videos and you like my coach :)

[pedja60]

My problem is, not all balls are pumped the same, like in some games the ball will bounce to the moon and other are flat...what should i do about this? do 100X with a bounce ball and 100X with a flat ball?

[dreupt]

@pedja60 they are not that different if ur a good ball handler it wont matter. dont blame the ball

[ObiE1n3]

[YungGank]

that last one is hard but I got to keep practing

[PointGuardListing]

This might sound kind of candy ass, but my lower back hurts, and my legs get weaker. When doing dribbling drills will that go away, or am I just hunched down too far?

[dreupt]

@PointGuardListing brace ur abs will take pressure off ur back

[TheMialb]

[MrInfamousFish]

Dre, i can dribble when i practice, but when it is time for a game, or pick up game, i just can't do a thing, i can't dribble, and i still can't find confidence in my game. I choke in late game situations, and i could be very good, but i just can't gain confidence.

[dreupt]

@MrInfamousFish play in more games. i have a vid on this

[joshswagg13]
