Dre Baldwin: I Need Feedback From The People! | NBA D-League Training Questions

[23slammajamma]

to: thebigboi17ful, just work on it man, the only thing anyone can tell you is practice it. that's all you can do

[23slammajamma]

get a trainer, wow, come on man, give him some real info. my information to zidanetitus6 is eat foods with protein and eat about 2 servings of foods like spaghetti, grilled chicken, etc. but no junk. and continure to work on your vertical during that span and you might do something good, and dre, give some real answers. last i checked you weren't in the nba so take some time helping people get better.

[zidanetidus6]

I just read your workout on you gaining weight and then feeling sluggish and what not. I'm 175 now and 6'3 and all I have been hearing from coaches is gain weight how can I get to 195 without loosing my vertical.

[dreupt]

@zidanetidus6 get a trainer

[zidanetidus6]

Can you make a video on all the workouts on air alert I watched your video on it and I'm going to do work I'm just trying to make sure I do it all right. Thanks.

[dreupt]

[samajin1]

[dreupt]

@samajin1 go find out

[magics999]

[skillzz95]

[batuhankemalbakici]

im 12 years old 5 ft 9 from australia i feel like that i dont have much of a chance in the big league i play 4 a great rep bball team dandenong rangers search em up but i just think that im a white boy and from australia it very hard to in the nba and can u make a video of a clutch play becasue just this weekend the game was on the line and the coach ran a play 4 me and i choked can help with what move i should i do etc thx

[dreupt]

@batuhankemalbakici i cant help u become clutch, u get that from experience, not watching videos. And if u feel u wont make it, u wont. if u feel you will, you will. no video can do that for you

[MiRr0RrZ]

aye dre, you got any vids on blocking shots?

[Theazasian]

Can you make some videos on proper way of shooting a basketball. Like how to hold, gripping the ball, follow through and all of that.

Also how to

-get open

-guard(defense)

[jyeager1014]

when your hands/fingers gets stronger, does the ball like stick to your hand or something? How does the ball feel in your hand?

[EZeasyKing]

I would like to see your warmup routine before a game or working out.

I'm 14 years old, 6'2, and I've been sort of indecisive when it comes to stretching. So if you could make a video on warming up and stuff like that...

[dreupt]

@EZeasyKing already done. search

[J2Official]

How to improve shooting. Jumpshot, floaters, runners, turnaround, fadeaway, hookshot. Give us a walkthrough.

[dreupt]

@J2Official watxh my other vids

[EliasJordan3]

can you make videos on what u should do on different situations, like what are good moves against fast defenders or slow and big defenders, or what to do if the other team's playing some zone defenses and like that and maybe like how to react to double teams. thx.

[dreupt]

@EliasJordan3 watch my vids. 300+ to look thru

[djoc417]

Dre, i wanna no how u get ur footwork togetha

[sean1no]

I've got a question ,man.

Can ya make a vid all bout the fadeway shoot,I lik how's Lebron doin' it.

Luv ya vids ,fam.Keep ballin' !!!

[dreupt]

@sean1no search: "Dre Baldwin Fadeaway"

[awoo23]

I don't really have a question, just wanted to say I like the videos. It might be helpful to start your videos with a verbal walkthrough of the steps to a drill/move, then do the actual move, then maybe go in slow-mo to say what's happening during each step of the move.

[dreupt]

thanks. subscribe to y vids and youll see those that you speak aout

[awoo23]

already did, thx.

[wjordan17]

hey dre.. im 5.9 and i want to dunk.. whats the workout that u recomend to me?? thanks for all the lastest vids..

[dreupt]

i have done Air Alert and got good results for me. genetics play a huge rle in athleticism as well, so it is not all under your control. keep working adn see where it goes!

[TheBlazingOne]

Great work, watching you putting in work motivates me when I'm down to keep lifting and staying in shape and getting my skills down pat.

[dreupt]

thank you, im glad i can help!

[Mopster12345k]

yo can you do some lay-up drills and some fastbreak drills.

[dreupt]

gotcha. what do u mean by fastbreak drills? give me an example

[Mopster12345k]

like moves to do 1 on 1 fastbreak situations like the jamal craford shake n bake move. Thanks

[dreupt]

gotcha

[nba8340]

wanna see you lifting in the gym ( i think with some strength and power you would be a more athletic/talented

what do you think you are missing in your game, like why do you think you aren't in the nba, what do they have that you don't?

whatever that is i would say start working on that and focus on it the most

[dreupt]

ive address the lifting thing but we will see in the future. thansk!

[pruin03]

yo dre jus wondering, do u have a favourite nba player?

[dreupt]

Mike Jordan

[galacticmode]

aside from your athletic talent, you are very attractive

[dreupt]

i get it from my dad

[The3chrispaul1]

yo dre how important is confidence in your game

[dreupt]

more important than anything else

[Philliesfan33]

Chad Ochocinco said on an episode of Hard Knocks: "eat what you want to eat and workout the way you are supposed to than there is no problem". I agree and disagree, i agree because its convinceing since he's one of the best WR's + athlete in the nfl, but a bad diet is a bad diet, no question. I'm curious to know wat u think

[dreupt]

each human's body works differently. some can eat whatever and still be in great shape, other cannot. so eah person has to see what works for him/her

[PHuckinCHAMPS26]

if u can i'd like to see some examples of. plyometrics drills to get a better verticle leap that doesn't involve a basketball, (some examples would b toe raises, squats, lunges etc.) and doesn't involve weights - thanks

[dreupt]

i have a couple already posted. but ill keep this in mind

[thenextprototype]

here are some more ideas:(you dont have to do them)

-step back move

-passing

-full court dribbling

-getting open

-show us your nba 3 point range

-scoring moves from triple threat

like jab step and could you teach the rocker step cos i heard of that but dont know it

[dreupt]

i have vids on a couple of those, and the rest i will keep in mind. thansk!!

[lf383838]

have you ever try making videos to impress coaches or scouts?

[dreupt]

i have game film for that but thanks!

[sweetsmog]

keep going man

[dreupt]

thanks homie

[thenextprototype]

a possible idea could be a vid with tips that you have learned that impress coaches scouts etc.

maybe some injury prevention exercises like ones to prevent ankle sprains

[dreupt]

sure. thanks!!

[joemith12345]

how about nba players moves like how to do players signerture moves like Chris pauls fake spin

[dreupt]

you'd have to ask Chris Paul to do his move!

[Whtballa]

Show an agility day. I liked that defensive video, but it was 30 seconds long! Show your change-of-pace agility drills, speed ladders, over-speed training, (weight sled, parachute) defensive conditioning, (quick feet, slide suicides, lateral resistor sliding, whatever you can think. It's a different video, which is what a lot of these ballers need. They sit on here for hours looking at dudes shoot J's.

Good Luck with the season, Dre!

[dreupt]

aight thanks. some of those id need a camera man but for the other that i do, ill get to em. thanks a lot!

[gutterballer733]

How about an update on the search for a team? or if you heard back from the people at the d-league camp a little while back, or what you are up to in general basketball wise. i don't know if its worth a video, but definitely an update on the site.

[dreupt]

yeah that would be a vid similar to this with me tlaking.. i will do those. Thanks!

[joemith12345]

[regulator4sure]

Do some vertical jump drills, they're useful for you and the watcher.

Depth jumps, cone jumps, step jumps, you choose.

[dreupt]

if u already know about them, why do you want me to do it?

[SarajevoSunshine]

I know about them but you can put it on the youtube, i think a lot of people would be grateful for that

[laoboy9]

How about some good vertical train methods. I'm sure someone has already asked for that so how about something for improving passing skills?

[dreupt]

i have avertical jump vid posted. as for pasing, good idea, thanks!

[Z43hoops]

like some walk throughs like how mj says hit a couple jump shots then pump fake they have to respect then drive if they stick with it,raise up for a jump if there close pump then behind pivot

some type of sequence like that that you do would be awesome and good luck dre

[dreupt]

as in your options in certain situations?

[Z43hoops]

yep.

[dreupt]

gotcha.

[BananaShake21]

honestly,i think the stuff that you are posting up now is pretty nice. in my opinion i think i would want to see more vids of your workout,different types of drills you work out,,you training,not just in basketball,maybe weight lifting,running,etc,,and maybe a few vids of you just talking to the camera about tips,advice,drills,basketball.­nba,etc,.thats just my opinion

lol i just want to see more vids

[dreupt]

thanks! weights or running vids require an extra person to film, which i do not surrently have, but we will see! thanks!!

[TEVINHOOPS]

I would like to see more ball handling drills

[dreupt]

more huh? when i think of what more i can show, i will. ill take ur suggestions

[DawgFL]

Hey Dre, this is what I would like to see:

1. some challenging ball handling drills

2. one on one games

3. offense, simple but effective moves to score on your defender

I really hope to see videos of these soon!

PEACE

[dreupt]

thanks for the comment. i have done all of these in my past vids- have u seen?

[thenextprototype]

game footage or using a pick n roll(ball screen)- the reads and options when you are a guard

[dreupt]

ill need to get some of that first... thanks!

[JPittman13]

Show some scrimmages or 1on1s anything besides you shooting jumpshots.:)

[SVRMania]

i wanna see da trainin dat u do ta get stronger like vertical help

[dreupt]

have u seen my explosive jumping drill vid?

[SVRMania]

[taylor21horton]

i think a lot of us would benefit from seeing your training that you do to get stronger, including upper body, lower body, plyometrics etc. anything you do in the weight room to increase your skill on the court

[dreupt]

the weight room stufff is not my expertise, but maybe in the future. thanks!

[khidstacks]

i would like 2 hear about wat happened with the d league try out

[dreupt]

[777555333]

I'd like to see you play more one on one, and maybe you can explain why had a shot or drive read and when
