This guy is ridiculous, how he's able to provide greater value than explaining it himself (like all the other youtubers) but from going through hours of film and showcasing the entire range of possibilities and mechanics across multiple in-game situations rather than touching upon them verbally (or vaguely). Great channel I was taken by surprise how useful it is.

[@thomasperez5643]

If you're able to shoot well, that will additionally create problems for the D. Being able to shoot will force them to decrease the space between you and them, thus giving you the opportunity to drive past them. If you shoot poorly, the D could drop back and simply take their chances with you making the bucket or not. If the D does manage to position themselves in front of you on a drive, don't be so intent on powering through as you might draw a charge. Instead, try hopping back into a shot or use that space to see which foot they put forward. If you can do a double hop back, even better. There's more space thus more ground they'll have to cover, and if you can shoot, they'll look to do that in a hurry. In turn, you now have the opportunity to pick a side on which to drive.

[@yujinoh6296]

Yo I’m just gonna use all these tips for a whole other thing ;)

[@jhalparo3827]

opponent gives you space? Dribble till close with the basket, then use fakeout if defender always reacb you first.

Basically as a hooper you need to master which foot to attack... I myself is a Top foot attacker, who pushes through contact... Eventually mastering one specific style will lead to better reading of your opponents when you master one you can switch it up and use the other aswell

[@haleym3507]

Aka More knowledge equals more “ballage”… lol

[@a.d9780]

Nobody who attacks the rim call themselves top foot attackera bye troll

[@saltymonkey8874]

Any good defender just needs to move over more, so they force you to the side they want you to go.

Man, I really never comment. These are the best videos to learn basketball. The attention to detail, the cadence of the video, and the creativity to make it all work with just text and video playing at the right time. Unbelievable that it is free, too.

[@Mcali1984]

Once you attack the top foot and get past them. Cut in front of them and force them behind you. Probably the easier way to get a bucket if you have a lane. You don’t even need to be faster than the guy. Just get your step in front of the defender and you’re home free.

[@CoachFrikki]

For sure, always drive as tightly as you can.

[@royalpallas827]

Time stamps for practice 3:15 - Expect the handcheck and power through it 3:45 - defenders top foot and top foot hand getting ready to steal the ball. You keep the ball wide and out of their reach. Use your off hand 4:05 attack the defenders back when they turn too much 4:35 - master the art of attacking the top foot 4:54 attacking the back foot 5:19 good for when the defender opens up too much

[@tuhtty]

This is a lovely breakdown. You're right when it comes to trainers saying to always attack the top foot but that doesn't always work against good defenders. Good defenders will bump and be strong through a top foot attack so its important to be able to read the defenders feet and try shift them out of position so their stance is either too open for a back foot attack or their top foot is between your feet or shoulders for a top foot attack.

[@CoachFrikki]

Good points. Being able to attack both ways is always key.

[@GoalGetterGuide24]

Thank you, your the only KZbinr who actually teaches us instead of showing us the dribble combos which will lead us to get the ball stolen.

[@Sgoldensr]

Best breakdown videos I ever seen!! 💯👍🏾 i shows u all the bells and whistles on offense and how to react to defensive players of all types and there tendencies….. great footage!

[@JanthonyVega]

This is good especially for me because im left handed, this will help me with both sides.

[@sloanNYC]

Great vid. It all comes down to getting momentum direction and your hips past their hips, going towards the basket. So many defenders overload the front foot in a straight up... but you have to judge their momentum, arm length, and your position on the floor to figure out the best angle to the hoop. Especially in a half court game.

[@NatedawgTube]

I appreciate the insight on these basics. Makes watching the game tons better.

This is one of the best videos I saw in my 9 years career of playing professionaly. Thanks man

[@ReconciledByFaith]

Great breakdown. It's helpful to think about the pros and cons of which foot to attack. But for a good driver the focus is more on which side has an open lane because they can beat a defender either way. If they don't have the sheer explosiveness to do it they can get there with a combination of ball-handling, hesitation, and timing the defender's reactions.

[@Gameboob]

It's rare I watch in slow motion. I almost always watch informational KZbin vids sped up. But this is worth watching very slowly. Thanks man!

[@appakuma6621]

i havent played basketball in atleast 4 years now (thanks to the pandemic and work.) but now i found a balance and i'm wanting to get back inside the court again and your videos are helping me to find my confidence to actually play again in my local court. thank you for that.

[@coolpad2527]

From my experience When the defender is flat it is much easier to attack then when he is on any foots.. By simply any hesi or fake move

[@ChuckPhenomenal]

That just means they're bad defenders cuz a great defender don't go for the hesi. Plus they switch from flat, to right top foot, to left top foot to throw the ball handler off. Just like a great ball handler can cross you up with the ball, a great defender can do the same with their defense

You can also attack the foot as soon as it begins to lift towards you. If your timing is impeccable it will work every time. Simple displacement wins.

[@supune]

that's a great point. anticipating that half beat right before you attach whichever side you go to, is a great way to train your vision on when to attack

[@shawnturbeville994]

These videos are so true. This is true fundamentals. Combine these with the other things that offensive players are allowed to get away with in the NBA and more and more in college, and your defender is facing an uphill battle. What I am talking about is rampant traveling, palming the ball, using your off hand to forearm the defender and fend him off. And don't even get me started on the eurostep. Is it any wonder that with the talent some players have that they are basically unstoppable? That is why we don't see the defense in the NBA from past years.
