Thanks b a eb

[@duishungry]

So glad I found this channel, as a kid I was made fun of for not knowing the positions and KZbin was just beginning so we didn't have high quality videos like this to look up. This is a perfect overview for someone trying to get into basketball again as an adult!

[@cdb8]

This is really good, the speaker's voice and cadence and detail is perfect, thank you

Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved…

[@360noscopekill]

This is a great underated channel! I would like to hear about the different plays a team can run and how to look for them on the screen. Keep up the great work!

[@caseyringo4333]

This is perfect for beginners

[@TheNickelodeonfan711]

I didn’t know any of these and know he just thought me all of it. It was easy to learn with him because I can hear his voice clearly so talking clearly just helps understand because you can actually hear them and not just the music they are playing in the backround

Good looks bro. Like commented and subscribed 👍

great video bros, well done. subbing and lking all these.

[@davidhamlin7932]

Good stuff!

[@Truthzzy]

This is really helpful 🙏🏾 but I have a question what’s height requirement for a guard

[@Kindaserious365]

You could go even deeper to WAY back in the day positions were created so fans could follow the game better. They only wore numbers 1-5. That’s where you get 1G 2G 3SF 4PF 5C. If you played that position you wore that number. It was 5v5. Awesome video

[@angematik9]

Thank you for the knowledge! I never knew this that's cool af

[@tracywelch1984]

Goff stuff!

[@blackiowa]

Grew up loving the game but only played at the playground or on NBA Hangtime or NBA Jam games. Have always loved the suns because of Barkley so I'm watching the suns game tonight and watching this because I wanna understand this game like I do football. I enjoy watching basketball games just there's so many and it always feels like I'm missing something.

i gotta say im hooked. thanks

[@kailove8767]

It’s like this, I played basketball almost all of my childhood. I was a great defender, I could drive the the rim with no problem, post scoring was aces. Being on the girls team in school, they didn’t always tell us the positions or sometimes the coach would just tell us where to be. This is like what 10 or 11 years ago? And I’m 22 now sooooo haha let’s go. Let’s learn the positions so I can have fun again

[@Ispyeverything0698]

[@benjaminnicholasking7222]

I think it’s good for all players in their positions to have quickness because it’s an advantage over the opponent.

How do you help build confidence in middle schoolers basketball?

[@BasketballU]

It is important that they know it is ok to make mistakes! Continuously have them work on things they are good at!! Have them practice positive self talk and also watch film on themselves so they can see the mistakes instead of someone always telling them what they are doing wrong. Hope this helps!!

[@bakh91]

how can i get a copy of the script used in this video?

[@Bigpapiofficial933]

Need help with my position Grade 7 5 foot 3(kind of tall but not really tall) 3 point: 8.5/10 Mid range: 9/10 Passing: 5.5/10 Handles: 9/10 Interior offense: 4/10 Driving layup: 8/10 Perimeter Defense: 5/10 Interior defense: 2/10(I get bodied) I played the SF/PF last year but I have developed better outside scoring and ball handling.

[@BasketballU]

Continue to work on your guard skills as you can play a different position then you do for your school team. Keep working on your shot to keep it consistent. Watch film on yourself to understand the reads on the secondary line of defense after you get by your defender. Hope that helps! Most situations are the same in basketball it’s all based on your early reads before you get into the interior. Just become familiar with those and have two or three counters to be successful in scoring or making a play for a teammate.

[@heheheha875]

nice if thats tall for your age last year when I was in grade 7 I was 5 8 but some mfs were 6ft+

[@ssjraikage7874]

point guard

[@parvapatel6335]

I mean you are most likely not going to be the tallest person in the team, so you are going to have to be a guard.

[@vrz.1]

@@parvapatel6335 a lot of ppl are around my height. tallest guy is 6'5. sorry i forgot to mention that

[@marcussoblessed]

if you are score first play shooting guard do not force yourself to play point guard if your not thinking to pass

[@drumsticksnapper]

Anyone else notice that he talked about the point guard position for more than 3/4 of the video. Is the point guard really that important? Not trying to be snarky I literally know nothing about basketball other than that you use a basketball.

[@marshclips1393]

yes, most important position

Disrespectful how they did not mention Kobe Bryant in Shooting guards

Talks about shooting guard and never mentions Kobe.

[@sierraw988]

Right? He even showed several clips of him but didn’t mention him.

[@israelpena3336]

Kobe is the number 1 skilled player.

Same deal for Jason Williams during his selfless point guard section. He's gotten us talking in the comments though eh?

Can’t have a video with Lebron in it and not mention the flop.
