Last season I was only averaging 12.6 ppg but this year that number has jumped to 25.2 and I am starting on varsity thanks

Great video man any tips for high school players in Europe and how to deal with less access to facilities outside of school (is it worth practicing on a double rim for example)?

Great advice, Tucker. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely put this into practice.

just to let you know if you wanna watch that there is a xmas tournament in kortrijk from tomorrow 28 to 30 at diffirent places around kortrijk but i recommend you ''lange munt kortrijk'' u12 to u19 teams from belgium and around the world

Hey man.its my last year of high school but I reclassed up so I’m actually 15,turning 16 in 12th grade and I’m not from America. I force myself to get around 4 hours of training every but I don’t feel like I’m getting any better and looking at those 5 star 9th grader all over America really makes me wonder if basketball is for me. It’s my passion I truly want to make it as far as possible but I don’t even have the proper ways to train myself like I don’t have a coach, my parents made me stop practicing in a club to focus on school and the only thing I train myself with is a ball and a portable hoop. And now taking a look at my situation made me wonder if I should really continue bc no one around me is trying to help me succeed. Do u have any advice to help me please ? Basketball is the only thing I have and I don’t know if I would be still here if I didn’t had it.

Im watching this video late because i have a problem. I have always wanted to play college basketball but im not even close, im in 8th grade im 4,9,, and ive never had a starting position even worse in a game mid-shot i was fouled and i fell down and broke my arm, im close to getting out of my cast finally but im realizing things really need to change, i am missing lots of gametime and experience which i need desperately i think i am in trouble but i can't give this up. Need serious help if you have any ideas or advice pls help me.

Really loved this video but i have a question. You see around a year ago. I had was in that mode just like Tyler. Wake up at 6 every day to shoot, then school, then gym, then chill and then i would workout again in the evening. Looking back at it, even though i missed parties, and time with friends, that was one of the happiest times i have ever had, because i was chasing my dream, and keeping the promises i made for myself.. But for some reason i stopped, and now doing a single workout feels hard. For some reason ,even though i love basketball i dont feel like i have the passion. But i think a reason has do with the fact that i have been overthinking alot about going to the next level, and what if i dont make it etc. Which kinda made me go from working out because i want to get better and because i love it, to working out because otherwise im going to overthink and etc. So honestly how do i get it back, because that geniune feeling of seeing improvment when you put in the time, after all the "sacrifices" i made (i always came home late so almost never ate dinner with my family) is such a good feeling. I just want to get back into that "mode"

As a swimmer thanks this helps 😼

Howdy, my name is Zander and I want to go to the NBA I promise from today onwards I will try my hardest to achieve this goal. When I get some money I’ll probably join hacking hoops. Love your videos and hopefully you will see me soon on the big stage. Wish my high school career a good one. ❤

Hi, just a fun fact. I started following you a while back. Just found out your playing at brussel! Im a heroesfan (den bosch) and also my son is in the developmentplan. Have fun here. Next time in den bosch i will support you! :)

Come play to Helsinki Seagulls!

Thank you

Lebron was unselfish in hs. He knew how to get in positions to exploit defence and offense. He knew how to pass and where everybody else was. He knew and ran the plays the coach wanted. He could shoot off the pass. He could bring up the ball. That's probably why they didn't go undefeated but he sure got drafted high.

this is the first video i have seen of you but i am in junior high and i want to play at the ncaa level and hopefully have a NIA and this video has made me realize that i have to get up at 5 am every day and not just my scheduled days. i will always keep this video in mind and get to my goals

Completely off topic but I’m in MS and there was a clip of ant and I’ve played a couple games in the same gym he was playing in

Keep God first and keep up the your vids

hey tucker, i think the tuffest thing for me is in the summer is finding a gym to workout in cuz where im from i cant play outside

Hey Tucker i work hard but i feel as if i dont work hard enough to reach my max potential. If allowed to i would get up as early as 5am just to get shooting or dribbling workouts in. My slight problem is when i shoot outside before school i always get scared that i am annoying my neighbours that are sleeping and my mum hates it when i play in early mornings as she wakes up super easily. So i stopped doing it I know this is a lame excuse but i feel as if this small factor may having me fall behind, compared to other player around the globe. I have recently started going to the gym, solely to gain strength for shooting and muscle in order to absorb contact. Im also not athletically gifted, onky 5 8 at 15 and have a really low vertical. My strength is that i am quick and can change directions well, with good handles. I know this is not enough and if i want to make college or to the professional level, this will not be enough. Sorry for the yap sess, thanks Tuck.

Man I’m just scared of what my coach and teammates will say. But I’m taking your advice

Thank you man. I am a 16 year old player in Canada who wants to play in the NBA, and i think the one thing holding me back is a lack of confidence in my ability. After watching this vid im not afraid to shoot anymore.

I didn't play high-school basketball but would want to play d2 basketball since I'm still athletic any advice

Wait 3% make it to college, I thought it was less. How many make it to D1

I used to be really good at basketball and then I quit because I wasn’t enjoying it but now I am getting back into it, recently I’ve gotten into a really bad shooting slump and it’s not like I can’t hit in game I am missing form shots next to the hoop constantly, Should I keep practicing or is there more to it?

Reason 1: you are sub 6'

Preach brother and many blessings along your journey

I've watched you a lot and your videos are very helpful for people who are not sure about their game and want to play at the highest level. I'm from Serbia and there aren't people everywhere who can see you play and so on, so it's much harder to succeed. here when you're from a small town but I hope for the best I'm putting in the effort and I'm putting in the effort we hope for the best. <3

This is top tier advice as my dream is to go to the NBA, still a kid but i have big goals and aspirations! Thank you for this, you just earned yourself a sub and hope to see you on the hardwood!

I agree the framing needs to be reworded but Don't be selfish is about making the right play.. What's so hard to understand?? The decision making is horrid when you tell players to be selfish instead of being aggressive in spurts since the game is fluid. I've watched coaches from high school level and up, literally wait for certain opposing players to start playing ''selfish'' cause most of the time they know it doesn't impact winning like you think it does...

Yooo, just dropped my first 10 made threes game

I would hit the gym in the morning if I wasn’t 14 and the ymca is across the city

Hi Tucker. I have the option to stay in the team I'm currently am with my friends or take the risk and go to a better team closer to my house . What do you think I should do

If i shoot 30 hs 3 pointers open as an elite shooter should i expext to make at least 90 percent? Ive been practicing w out a hand in my face. I fugure i need to make 90 percemt before i start traing w defense? Only doing 18 to 25.

Shooting at 8% from 3 and 26% at mid for the past 3 yrs buy my first year i was 60 to 70 % from 3 and 50 % in the mid range

8 points ppg

Living in rural Australia a lot od the training I want to do is not available, and practice with others is not accessible. What can I do, please help me I want to play nbl basketball, and as of right now I’m on that trajectory but I need more

So im 14 and I play in hungary.we have team practice 4 times a week.every single day I either lift weights or do plyometrics and also either go to the park to shoot or do ballhandeling at home(mostly because it’s really cold outside) of course I do this next to team practice.Is this good?

Thanks for the wake up call much love, any advice for skinny hoopers tryna put on weight?

Thanks Tucker for sharing your experience and your insights. Really much appreciated. It is very much valuable information from several angles especially for young players. Thank you very much once again...

Thanks this helps a lot especially with the unselfish part I’m in middle school

I’m a gym rat and have coached this game for years. My son is a junior and I do t push him like I use to, I let him get away with things I wouldn’t have in the past. I tell all the young men to catch on two and be ready. It’s the same idea as not letting the ball get in top of you. I told their head coach about it as well, we have open dialogue, but he seemed to brush it off. However I told their star player and he took it to heart and doesn’t miss. It unlocked his jumper. From good to damn near perfection. It’s not rocket science fellas. This video ended up in my feed at the perfect time. Sending it now.

Incredible video. Learning a lot about life. I unfortunately quit at the highschool level but gonna be a life long basketball enthusiast. Question, what do you think differentiates you from an NBA player? Dont mean to disrespect you one so bit because you made it just been wondering this causs i feel like a lot of European players are right there.

Bro you played with JQ can you do a breakdown on him or explain how it was like playing with him in a video

Because I live in Canada I cannot play in my basketball corte because it's outdoor I cannot go in indoor basketball Court because I'm still a kid I only play basketball in my school practice and my practice what can I do.

What if you dont have any time to do shooting workouts what else should i do? I only do form shootings at home

I need to work on that. Curry just did this against the T Wolves yesterday

His guard skills are incredible for his size.

Because I've only got like 10hrs in the sport and a physical disability?
