"Better shot at making a chance" ~Austin Rivers

[@BrahouCorporations]

+Brandon Owen +DaftHype

[@ThePrufessa]

Did he really say this in this video? Or somewhere else?

[@brandonchinga]

Hahah thought i was the only that noticed

[@Daveseight]

It's a pretty tough move to learn, because of the hesitation after the first cross, it's deadly when you learn it

[@bballbreakdown]

Yes, devastating, but tough to learn.

[@SaynTrades]

got it

[@ThePrufessa]

LeBron has the same move but instead of doing it with a crossover he does it while he's running at you full speed. He'll double jab with his left foot then go right. But this is while he's running full speed though.

[@sharinganZuko]

"you have a better shot at making the chance"

[@aaron8445]

Lmao

[@BrahouCorporations]

+Daft Hype Get your own comments you comment stealer

[@sharinganZuko]

+Brandon Owen I'm not gonna argue about a comment

[@BrahouCorporations]

hahaha

[@TeddyP1980]

Yo go to 3:17 and wait a few seconds and look at the court to the left and you'll see that guy do that pump fake and that sweet ass hesitation

[@chancellorweeks8935]

Ayee

[@MM-dv5rd]

That was him

[@istayfly313]

He broke a lot of ankles in high school with that move.

[@cynkauvanyau2059]

still breaking ankles now

[@drakanpown1]

@Stefan Kovacevic He's actually playing great for the Rockets right now

[@Goonathesoona]

@Stefan Kovacevic 😂 I was at the game vs the bucks. If I'm not mistaken, he got Giannis LEANINNNN. Didn't make the highlights bc he missed the 3 but boy that guy got shook

[@songaS]

@Stefan Kovacevic hes averaging 15 ppg with the rockets lmao shut up

[@bballbreakdown]

Thanks. He really understands the fundamentals, almost like he had a coach for a dad... lol

[@iceeeyy3557]

Yeah really fascinating

[@urir8517]

"better shot at making the chance" lol @3:26

[@flyforce16]

The off-the-dribble, step-back, three-point, fadeaway bricked jump shot... yep classic Austin Rivers all right!

[@Blhitelikesnba2k]

I didn't know Austin Rivers very well but he seems to be a very interesting person with good communication skills. Great job Coach!

[@aecbandit]

Pretty exciting to see you talking to the players and getting some walkthroughs like these. The channel has come a long way!

[@bballbreakdown]

Everyone have a chance to watch our breakdown with Austin Rivers of the Pellies? Who's gonna get out there and try it? Austin Rivers One on One: Secrets To His Crossover

[@bballbreakdown]

Ha, we'll he ain't a badger either,..

[@saveriovescio5174]

move is nice but i don't think as a coach i want Rivers to take step back threes... i want him to go to the rim.

[@bballbreakdown]

For sure. Step backs should be for 15 footers. At the NBA level, some guys could extend their range, but Curry is the only guy I'd feel comfortable with shooting step back 3's

[@sabrinatseng]

yeahhhhh curry

[@Blhitelikesnba2k]

- We're not a channel, we're a conversation! You in? - Yes Sir! I loved that one!

[@kingnathan1234]

Haven't seen any comments about this, but if you think about it, this is actually a great iso move, gives so many options for the player on offence whether it's to drive, shoot or even pass

[@Xepa777]

These are actually really high quality videos, especially when he probes them for situations when they do their moves.

[@throwmyfist]

just amazing works coach you've provided so far with breakdowns, now you are moving further into interviews AND specific player's moves

[@bballbreakdown]

THx! Lots more coming up this week!

[@ChubbyCheeks01]

People here in the comments were clowning him because he got tongue tied when they shot this video, but it's been 5 years and I bet y'all still can't do this move.

[@ShankarRam23]

Whoa!! Thumbs up for Austin Rivers :D

[@smokingterd53]

Austin Rivers is in the fog, Landing in the same spot usually creates a brick. ever seen blake griffin shoot? it puts too much pressure on the shoulders. When he shot for real his feet easily landed way in front of where he was. This takes pressure of the shoulder and lets you shoot with further range. Austin Rivers is in the fog, He does this by second nature.

[@bballbreakdown]

Can't argue with that!

[@bamdam2848]

He still played for Duke D1 bball and is in the NBA and you haven't done shit basketball wise so please stfu

[@swordman6m1]

He is mentally in the fog but physically he sweeps and sways naturally lol.

[@abdullah82m]

Ray Allen lands in the same spot he took off. What do you say to that?

[@Daveseight]

What a great guy and a video, I hope he has a much better season

[@bballbreakdown]

Don't miss Austin Rivers of the New Orleans Pelicans breaking down a sick cross over with me. You'll want to learn this move ASAP! Austin Rivers One on One: Secrets To His Crossover

[@SebastianHuba]

I love this movies

[@bballbreakdown]

Awesome, thanks!

[@bullit199]

I like how you allude to asking him basically if he does the turn, sweep, and sway. And yes, he does all of these things without realizing it! I know you have teamed up with "Pro Shot Shooting System" on youtube and the things they teach have improved my shot consistency already

[@raredreamfootage]

These one on one's are awesome coach. Please DO MORE OF THESE! SO EDUCATIONAL!

[@joshatronify]

A step up in the production quality and giants like FOX and ESPN should be paying notice to you Coach Nick. Great work!

[@alialefi]

Austin is the mannnn though haha. I'm a celtics fan too so knowing he's the son of our former head coach was cool too. I still believe he will prove people wrong and be in the league for a long time. We can only watch and see now.

[@nengstrom17]

Great video, I shows how much detail there is on just one move, especially how important foot work is.

[@bballbreakdown]

It's pretty distracting where we were doing the interviews. I don't blame them. Had we done it in a quiet room, it'd be different.

[@cnoteda1and0nly]

Coach Nick elevating his game. Nice!

[@ttterence_]

with NBA players appearing on bballbreakdown, it won't be long before Coach Nick becomes an NBA coach. I can feel it!

[@ludnqka]

he was very respectful to the coach i liked it

[@AhmadPhilips]

These videos are just getting better and better. How do you get these guys to be interviewed? Are they just so open to answering actual questions?

[@TheRainmaker257]

Coach doing big things here ... Love it !!!

[@DGMrpoetry]

Really enjoyed this particular break down, great simple yet effective move.

[@Immy1]

fantastic stuff, coach. content keeps getting better and better!

[@lasagnamamba5681]

I've always loved his crossover, good vid Coach! Really appreciate it cause it'll help my game

[@Floodmusic]

He looks like a very nice and bright guy, I'm gonna follow him more this year !

[@redberrey1]

great job with the series im loving you right now

[@Hoonew]

Ol JOlly Ol Coach Nick, you really got your Foot in the door...We'll see you coaching soon in the league ;)

[@feelinggrape]

That's awesome Coach Nick!! Keep it up!

[@chubeam008]

It's amazing how just a few months ago you were making breakdowns at your place in front of a green screen. Keep up the good work !

[@Mikestah98]

Coach, these one on one videos are great. If you can do more, please do!

[@dudewithalaptop2519]

I LOVE IT! DO MORE PLEASE. Like that dude said, it's the new version of red roundball

[@timshammm]

i learned something new today, thanks coach nick. this is some neat stuff!

[@bballbreakdown]

We got more!

[@rajkinra23]

omg these interviews are gold

[@mathiasdurand23]

Real basketball talk. I'm a huge fan of your vids coach Nick. Thanks ! Will you do something during the european championship ?

[@tristanang]

Great vid. Great move. Much better than the up and under video.

[@blakegriffining]

It should also be pointed out that when austin hesitates he also pivots that foot a bit so it opens outwards adding to the illusion that he is going in that direction.

[@RockmanExe10]

that is awesome, coach nick is moving on up

[@roliG28]

Keep up the great job coach nick!

[@johnmichaelpolicarpio3939]

Thank you for uploading videos

[@skon3107]

Austin Rivers seems to be a cool guy and i think that he will have a much better season this year.

[@99andrez99]

haha 3:32 "you got a better shot at making the chance"

[@8083]

What a kind player!

[@mylord4916]

These are some good videos, I learn a lot. Keep it up.

[@Herculeeez]

That's a sweet move! Thanks for the video coach!

[@EyyShawn]

Love your videos! They have taught me a lot! I'm happy to see you have got a lot of attention with NBA players because you truly deserve it! I'd have to be a fan of any team in the NBA you coach if you do end up getting the job!

[@kylemedwards1977]

"You have a better shot of making the chance" Lol

[@RamsesTheStone]

Wow, some quality content here coach!

[@easymac08]

Great job. Looking forward to more.

[@pauls2680]

Now this is some great content.

[@bballbreakdown]

YES... We're getting into a gym to film these things ASAP

[@backera83]

Are you guys at NEXT LEVEL? I play tourneys there every once in a while.

[@OpenAceful]

Loving the consistent videos! Great job!

[@ThePinoyMamba]

Rivers for The win!!! Coach We would like you to have an interview of Allen Iverson The one that revolutionize the crossover

[@kiefershae]

that was sick thanks for getting the tips! most smooth ending i've seen so far lol

[@Convisis]

Big step up in material this summer Coach, congrats. ESPN or NBATV need to throw some cash at you.

[@laureandodi28anni66]

Austin Rivers welcome to Houston you are going to do great!

[@jimbob1427]

Good to see him playing well !!

[@rorydarty5094]

good looking hesitation (to ideally gain separation) Austin but that step back is going to be contested and since most guys don't shoot as well as you, I believe the next lesson should be how to push off that same step back into a counter cross to drive to the basket.... Great video though!

[@MisterPaulmd]

hes a terrible shooter in the nba setback says let him shoot

[@rorydarty5094]

I agree

[@MisterPaulmd]

Oh ok i thought you were saying he was a good shooter when you said most people don't shoot as well as you

[@rorydarty5094]

Yeah better than the average youngster on the street. Considering he's professional

[@MisterPaulmd]

Ohhh ok my b man lol yup ur right about that

[@hfelippejr]

I was reading and wow! what a surprise, made me laugh a lot

[@TheLebron6]

Please breakdown some Oscar Robertson game and explain how he was so great,it looks like he bassically used 3 moves whole career :D In my opinion best PG ever

[@TRENDSETTERSMAN]

Great vid coach. More vids like this from austin!

[@toaalta]

1:52 Coach Nick gets crossed LOL

[@volkoa]

I did this move the other day and it worked really well.

[@redfox12341]

thanks coach and rivers!

[@MrSilverfish12]

Could you also do a video on the different ways to defend/fight screens? That would be great!!

[@bballbreakdown]

Austin Rivers iso's 27% of his possessions - he told me he wants to cut that down

[@bballbreakdown]

Well hey, we're still doing that too!!

[@ds2k15]

Rivers doesn't jump straight up and land in the same place when he shoots (and neither should you). His feet go forward making his shoulders go back (although not in a fade away motion) creating more arc on his shot.

[@BausBrock]

Great work Coach

[@bballbreakdown]

Absolutely. He still looks like he's 18

[@bballbreakdown]

It's pretty beautiful to watch...

[@itsXiaoHei]

"you got a better shot at making the chance" lol

[@punkcoustic]

That awkward moment when coach nick asks "you in?" lol everytime

[@SMACKMESIDEWAYS92]

Check out that move at 3:16 in the back left court. Wow. Impressive.

[@K2IITm]

ohh shit that's Doc rivers son, That dude is a wonderful coach for the clips now, that's whats up

[@bballbreakdown]

YUP!

[@HEADSHOTZ543]

well done coach nick

[@narutoworld345]

He wanted Austin to answer that jump shot question differently... "sway" lol

[@forceoneX]

I'm glad I subscribed, I learn a lot from watchin your videos and commentary...By the way how tall are you Coach?...

[@iampetergriffin]

Hey Coach, when are they going to have you in for a discussion across from Stephen A. and Sir. Bayless? That would be quite entertaining.

[@HadesXG]

gonna go off this season

[@captainobvious90]

unconditional love

[@Hulkamania4eva]

Love these videos boss!

[@bballbreakdown]

Big challenge for Monty Williams to get these disparate parts to fit together. We shall see...

[@hollaback500]

Tough move, love the coaching reaction like I'll never keep this kid in front of me.

[@arclordx]

THANK YOU COACH! Great Video!

[@Keeleekeelee3]

Great stuff coach!!

[@bballbreakdown]

Hey Blake! How's it going?

[@Nerfgunninja]

Yeah, that crossover will tear the D-League apart.

[@PeanutJellie]

Get em, coach!

[@R11NKF]

Omg great effort, impressive move

[@Fresco757]

3:26 he said "you gota better shot at making the chance"
