ran out of room to type haha. i also if nobody else can score (im a pass first player) i will play aggressive and take contact from the big guy and as soon as i get maybe 6-12 inches i can make a good move whether thats a quick secure the ball and drive, a stepback jumper, a hesitation move to freeze them. they can be beaten you have to react to their reaction. be confident. faster players and stronger players you pretty much have to outsmart them on the play. let me go work on my game now
im 6'0" on a good day and i play with guys up to 6'8", what i do is play the point against the biggest guy and stay around the 3 point line on offense. ill signal for one person to go in one direction and try to isolate the quickest person so they can drive and score. if my man starts heading towards the basket i have to get in front of him and use my strength to box him out to make sure he doesnt rebound or defend. on defense i lock him down and dont let him get a good look or get the ball even
I do this all the time when I step on the court. I see dudes swolled up but dude be slow, another fast, but his handles are garbage, 1 is just a jump shooter so take him as far as you can or make him take a very contested shot. etc...
Dre, I know how, in this video, you emphasize finding a weakness. But you can't deny the fact that finding a bigger player's weakness sometimes isn't enough. From what I have heard/researched, you can stick your hand in the man's face (which I find very effective), you can force the man to drive to his weak side, and you can out-hustle him. Is there any advice you can give to smaller players playing against bigger, stronger men who just drive (bodying) into the paint and lay it up? Thank you
I am 5 - 2, I usually depend on low dribbles so most of my taller opponents cannot reach in but also work on my hooks. If I was a little taller like 5'6" I bet my hooks would be unblockable by most players 6 foot or under.
Try underhook shots and other tricks when you establish the pivot and are close to the basket. If you practice you can get past their huge bodies
I usually don't pick a game against a
an opponent 6 foot or more...then it's just a waste of energy.
I fuckin love the way you respond to people. I mean your whole message is just work on your game and that is the answer to almost every question I've seen youtube ask. If you don't know your role.. work on your game. If you miss shots alot.. work on your game.. If your bad at handling.. WORK ON YOUR GAME.
I am a 16 year old, 5"11 145 pound starting SG on my High School basketball team. I seem to not know my game and my role? I also would like to be able to sink every basket. I would also like to add more dimensions to my game like 3 point shooting. My coach has really emphasized boxing out. But i am not big. What do i do Dre?
@francisguilherme13 theres not really any secret hidden trick to shooting the greats that u see out there like Kobe wade Jordan lebron all those ppl shoot THOUSANDS of shots EVERY DAY and that Wat u gotta do just keep shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting Lols, same thing for post if the guy is bigger u might be faster so work on getting around him if ur bigger just power thru but like i sed Hundreds of shots a day hope this helped a little bit, this is just advice so use as u please
@francisguilherme13 I'll send you a link of Chris Webber showing how a very small man can box out a very big man. Size only matters if you can use it. Study Study Study Study Study: Kevin Love, Kevin McHale, Kobe Bryant, Rajon Rondo, Jason Kidd, MJ and Chuck Hayes.
Danny Ainge had some great videos back in the day about the fundamentals of basketball and understanding size at different positions. Pistol Pete had some great ones on shooting. MJ of course showed a little bit of everything.
@dreupt thanks for telling us that cause it's true everyone has a weakness idk if i asked this already ,but what if that man or women has overcomed there weakness am i just destined to lose against this person or is there another way like every weakness overcomed creates another weakness can balance be a weakness? or is there like a way to predict the opponent with patterns?
@andyorz I think Kobes weakness is when he plays with teammates and don't pass or don't makes them feel better somehow. In his game itself, I don't have a clue.
I know what you're sayin, but I experienced situations where it still wasn't good enough for me. If you can identify the weakness, i find it better to have another teammate help out that can contest it better.
thanks for making all these helpful videos. I'm 15 and 5'8 i go to open gym and play guys that are twice my size. i always watch your videos because they help me get better. Thanks for taking time to help.
@NesiPk1 damn dude i wish my parents were that tall! my parents are both 6 ft each and im 6 ft 6 and 15 years old. if my parents were as tall as urs i would be HUGE!
@juiceTE hey, you're lucky, my moms 5'1 and my dads 5'8. im asian. haha. but i grew 4 inches in 5 months. cus i drank a shitload of milk. 5 to 6cups a day. i wish i woulda started earlier.
dre ill tell u my weakness.. my left hand ... it's like i only have the right arm.. how can i get to handle the ball better? now dont tell me to do you weak hand drills cause i barely make them with my right... some simple drills like just dribbling with the left hand, then walking while dribbling the ball helps? thanks
@thenextprototype they learn to minimize/ eliminate weaknesses. exposing their weaknesses takes an entire team effort, not one persoon alone... the better KB/ LBJ's teammates are, the harder to find/ expose any indiv. weakness
wow dre this is exactly what i needed, i played ball yesterday with this dude he was about 6'1 and i'm 6'5 but he was 24, i'm 14 and he usually beat me to the spot, cuz he was faster, stronger and he was bigger not height wise but body wise like hes muscles and sht were all big. but i did the same right back. and he could jump like really high and when i took him to his right side, he wasn't so good cuz he was a lefty. so i'm guessing that was his weakness?
@dreupt damn dre i played with that dude again today and all he did was talk trash, i was thinking at times i wish dre lived by me so he can really show that fagget whats up, haha and thanks for replying :P
ran out of room to type haha. i also if nobody else can score (im a pass first player) i will play aggressive and take contact from the big guy and as soon as i get maybe 6-12 inches i can make a good move whether thats a quick secure the ball and drive, a stepback jumper, a hesitation move to freeze them. they can be beaten you have to react to their reaction. be confident. faster players and stronger players you pretty much have to outsmart them on the play. let me go work on my game now
