when i was playing basketball, i preferred man to man. It was quite easy for me to track an opponents movement, whereas i hated zonal defense. I used to get into a habit of moving out of my zone, and it did cost baskets a few times.

This defense won't work how they want it to. 3-4 passes with help defense and someones gonna have a wide open shot. Just saying they were moving at half speed and I say plenty of opportunities. But the towel is a good defensive helper. Hand down man down.

Nice video.

Defenders think about guarding 1 1/2 players instead of just 1

Guard defenders slant body ( footwork ) to allow/encourage going baseline where there will be a help defender. This avoids top of key penetration where offense has more options.

If guards drive to the middle (top of key) both defenders sag to protect the middle.

When the ball is passed to the wings (sides), guard defenders sag back down and other defenders weak side defenders may have to rotate to help. TEAM !

All the gangster streetballers out there probably don't know what this video is about because they don't play defense.

Anyways, just saying.
