Dre Baldwin: Mikan Drill for Layup Practice | NBA Finishing Duncan Basketball Fundamentals

[JohnLAKOBE]

whats a good drill for contact layups 

[dreupt]

@JohnLAKOBE get a partner to create contact

[SuccessDriven247]

@dreupt yo dre today i had a league game and kept getting to the rim off the dribble and getting to the rim but i missed 5-6layups and went 4-10. I just want to say my legs were tired and i was a little nervous i hate that shit. But I could of easily went 9-10 from the field. I keep thinking about it I dont know what i was doin wrong. Go to the rim layup to hard off the glass miss, go to the rim to hard off the glass miss all of the misses were pretty much like that. Im pissed off man

[SuccessDriven247]

@SuccessDriven247 By the way like i said all those these could of played a factor. Having tired legs being a little nervous so focus might of been off but usually i dont miss that many layups. Also my hands arms get really sweaty and its like i have a fear of missing open layups because of embarrassment and also i think im scared of contact and going to the freethrow line i think once i get over these things i can be good

[iheartwildthings]

That's called the superman drill

[dreupt]

@iheartwildthings it is not that is a different drill for rebounds

Dre, thanks to your video I saw that I didn't take 2 steps before lay-up while doing Mikan drill.

Keep doing what you're doing.
