I love the 1-step layup. That's a great move!

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Nice. Thanks.

[@marquezholmes2786]

Im a 6'3 guard n i improved alot by watching these videos 🏀#ballislife

[@anklethief]

EGT I've been using your program for i think nearly 4 months. Before that I was already considered one of the best players for my under 14s team but I was averaging around 12 points. Using EGT at the end of the season I averaged 14 points and got my game high in points with 20. Our new season has started and i'm now in the under 16s team while only being 13 years old. about 2 weeks ago I reached my career high scoring an amazing 50 POINTS!!! and I thank it all to you guys.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

That's awesome, dude. But it's all up to you and the work you've been putting in. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@anklethief]

@@DeepGameBasketball thx coach

[@DeepGameBasketball]

You're welcome. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@moonwolf8470]

You must 15 now, how’s your game now?

[@anklethief]

@@moonwolf8470 thanks for checking up on me bro. I live in Perth Australia so we don't have AAU or anything like that but I got a basketball scholarship start of last year at the private school with the best basketball program and it has been great to be able to play basketball as a subject. We were meant to go overseas to Asia and to the eastern states but Covid has stopped that. I also joined my first Wabl team last year (Western Australian Basketball League). I haven't been the star on the teams but I'm gradually getting more and more game time and have turned from being a pure slasher to a lockdown defender who's also a good 3 way scorer.

[@panecake2105]

This helped me a lot I am a small guard of 7´1.

[@antoniowebb5942]

[@orangytangy2274]

Thanks so much. I’m only 5 foot 3 because I’m only 13 years old. This will help me a lot with finishing at the rim.

[@arrowember5371]

I like the coach drew's videos,for i can learn a lot of details from him,which can make me DOMINATE the game!

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Sweet. All of our coaches are legit though :)

[@ambikjyrwa7883]

My height is 5.5 n i cant finish at the rim and some times i over dribble and most of the time i get stuck in da baseline what should i do ??? coach!!!! sum times i get confused to shoot or to pass,please help

[@DeepGameBasketball]

You need to slow down. I know that sounds simple but it's one of the toughest skills to learn. Slowing down doesn't mean play slowly, it means slowing the game down to where you don't continually over dribble, or dribble yourself into trouble, or make bad passes or mistakes in general. Learning this comes with time and experience and playing. But be mindful of slowing down and watching other players and their moves and how they navigate the D. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@DeepGameBasketball]

It's best to do whatever move is needed in order to beat the defense. There isn't a "best move" for that. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@Izaiah3333]

[@charlesetienne8151]

Thank you

[@DeepGameBasketball]

You're welcome. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@camerondavis6474]

0.49 - 2 leg pounds then smooth Motion at full speed, high and soft. 1:48 - same foot same hand lay up. When doing a lay up just jump of the one leg without the second step jump from side of free throw line . 2:55 - keep ball by other side of your head, then you jump but keep it at the same position then come in with a lay up.

[@yanggao735]

[@mildredgatan3183]

pls make video for low Post

[@stevemanna7164]

Great stuff as always-your thoughts on the floater ?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

It's effective especially when you're up against a big and if you can make it efficient, then, by all means, add it to your game. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@JasonDaleKnight]

First of all Coach, that vintage ball is sweet. Nice wear!

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Thanks. I'll let Drew know. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@ITZnJeans]

[@treebro1550]

[@liudiwei5679]

thx

[@DeepGameBasketball]

You're welcome. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@yo18momas]

I'm a little confused on the contact one. So do I take one dribble pick up the ball and hop into the contact or do like a hop step into it? Or is it a one two step? Cuz it looked like a hop into a hop

[@DeepGameBasketball]

It's a 1-2 into a hop which produces the contact with the big and then the finish. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@PyroInferno110]

And make sure you finish with your shoulders

[@bangzy22]

can you make shoting drills video ? i really have trouble with my shots 2/10 -_-

[@DeepGameBasketball]

kzbin.info/aero/PL_lbgVkHBMRPOgSL5mX1NKt1jxWs4buNb

[@bangzy22]

thank you coach, i just at least 12 point now, it's really work

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Keep working on your game. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@ghostalex7119]

Yo thanks i put 15 pts just with the hook

[@DeepGameBasketball]

NICE, dude. Thanks for sharing. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@xxzeroxx628]

A floater is also a good move to finish over taller defenders

[@marikaritori]

im 13 & 5'1

[@siddharthroy6252]

Coach is there way of drawing foul from the big defender by giving a fake at the end..

[@DeepGameBasketball]

There are sneaky ways to create contact with a big but we don't have plans for teaching that. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@imtrashurworseyt54]

You guys seem like great coaches

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Thanks. The NBA players seem to think we are :)

[@lancedramez2961]

What is the best moves for finish at the rim coach drew?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Different for every player, and something you have to figure out for your game. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@lancedramez2961]

Caoch drew i cant finish at the rim because some times i stuck at the base line what should i do coachdrew?

[@briangasior5473]

I used the same foot some hand layup a lot it throws the bigs off so much thanks!

[@DeepGameBasketball]

That is a great way to get a shot blocker's timing off for sure. Nice work. #EGTFAMILY

[@kysfrong]

How to finish in the rim with many defenders inside Because when I play 1 v 1 I perpectly Finish in the rim but when in 5 v 5 im trash at finishing in rim

[@nickranga2176]

I am going to go to a d1 school can u give me some vids that will help me out

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Look at our playlists. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@bino9138]

I'm a 5'10 SG I would be able to finish better if I had better core strength imo any workout recommendations.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

It's highly likely because you'd be able to absorb more contact while maintaining more balance in order to get off a better shot. Check out our performance playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PL_lbgVkHBMRMTNZoiAvDcYQ6J-ldFPww5 - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@anklethief]

Coach I have this program that I’ve pretty much always been a slashing wing and I’m good at driving and finishing inside. But I wanted to expand my game so I started practicing my jump shot a lot and now in training I can easily train Midrange shots and I have a decent 3pt shot. My problem is that in games I always drive in and rarely take jumpers and when I do I tend to score them. How do I make shooting a bigger part of game without having to think about shooting the ball as that wastes time

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Take a shooting more outside mentality to practice and to pick games. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@liudiwei5679]

other than step backs and step sides what else can we do

[@DeepGameBasketball]

kzbin.info/aero/PL_lbgVkHBMRMd_mjcHY2Dv8hS165wUUVf - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@1100BFK]

New comment I will go with 1 step layup cause they definitely blocking me on the seconde step up

[@Jason-cs3zt]

The problem is I'm under five and a half feet going up against older six feet plus guys, so would it still be really effective doing a contact finish?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

If you're strong enough. Ever watch Chris Paul? He's maybe 6' and he goes up against guys 7' tall.

[@Daniyalkan]

That goat

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Thanks. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@sanyang9610]

No floaters?

[@TV-ob1if]

San Yang no.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Not in this video. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@Jonathan-rf5cp]

Floaters are tough unless you have an open lane to drive head-on towards the hoop. But if, like in most situations, you have a defender stuck to your hip, you'll usually be driving in with you body at an angle, which means that you'd have to do some pretty funky acrobatics to get off a decent floater.

[@willfournier1185]

belmont just lost to murray st8
