How to: Drive to the basket against ANYONE || The FIVE KEYS you need to get to the rim

[@CONLEYHOOPS]

Thanks for watching! let me know if there is anything I can breakdown to help you with your game.

[@colinmagaming]

Thanks

[@UnplannedGenius]

Another thing to consider (in my opinion) is "speed change." If you are always fast and always slow, your opponent will notice and play against you. However, changing the speed makes it much more unpredictable and easier to get past defenders.

[@CONLEYHOOPS]

Yes that is definitely another great skill to have when attacking the basket. Appreciate the comment!

[@Jimyjonson]

True, also you can dribble high or low and shift your weight

@Letsgo-ch8yr you're just embarrassing yourself at this point

[@maxxarciniega4865]

I teach my kids the “clip the hip” method, where you’re aiming to bump the defender’s hip as you pass them to keep a tight angle to the rim. I also teach a modified swim move to throw the defender’s hand behind you as you start your drive. In other words, as you start your drive your off hand reaches out and swipes the defender’s hand on your driving side, pushing it down and behind you as you take your first step.

[@CONLEYHOOPS]

Love that! Great tips. Teaching players to engage with defenders once they get angles is so important.

[@Reno-pz3kt]

Totally agree with all the steps In this video, once done properly, even an average player can score each time down the floor with good habits and solid practice. Thank you coach

[@Joyboy.753]

Thank you so much, i am clearly the guy who doesn't drive at all. I go in a little then either pass or go for a jumper or try a 3 pointer. I will definitely improve my handling and dribbling first and then focus on all these points. Again thank you so much.

for me its energy, once i started eating high protein foods before my practices i was able to get by anybody, quick switches in speed and quick stops and direction turns just to tire the opponent out before either driving or shooting

Diet is really important. It definitely can help.

[@Bob-fj7lr]

To your first point: kids these days watch the NBA - the NBA is all about a very wide, spread out floor where 5/5 players on the floor are shooters. They call every foul. They see so much space on TV that once they have to actually play in real games, they realize no one can shoot, and the paint gets packed and they aren't gonna get every foul call. Its not even that they're watching games they're watching full game highlights too. It's almost like watching WWE and then going to join a wrestling team thinking that that's how people wrestle and then they tap out in 5 seconds

[@CONLEYHOOPS]

I love this. It is way different. It’s for entertainment. It really is a different game then you play at lower levels

@@CONLEYHOOPS for sure, can I ask for confidence advice ? Like I practiced all the pickups, low, high, tuck, euro, but for some reason I never drive in game, my coach really wants me to I just never do.

[@CONLEYHOOPS]

@@Bjay127 driving is a skill that takes work and focused work. It’s hard to all of sudden do it if you have never done it before. If I were you I would start with a lot of one on one and don’t settle for shots anywhere but at the rim. Go through contact and find a way to score. A lot of times we settle because it’s easy. It’s really the uncomfortable becoming comfortable that matters. Be clear on your goal and then consistently work on it until you love to attack the basket.

[@Bjay127]

@@CONLEYHOOPS thank you. I did a good bit of finishing before with friends like on hip and hand off but that’s probably it. Since I’m on break I’m gonna get a lot of my friends together to scrimmage, and I’m gonna just keep driving. And do the 1v1 thing you said and I’ll keep driving. Thank you

[@CONLEYHOOPS]

Good luck! biggest things about tryouts, be coachable. Its not about being perfect. Just be likeable and work hard.

[@WaveOncrac]

if you're a big man then driving to the basket is easy regardless of what strategy you use unless you don't just big-body your defender

[@CONLEYHOOPS]

Being big and strong definitely can help. But it’s hard if multiple defenders come at you. Space is key. Reading is key. Appreciate the comment!

[@ethxcli112]

7:02 thought it was a mirror lol 😂

[@HackerluvIsus]

this is great video like honestly i took alot of tips but one thing i will say some of the things are harder to do like at class or parks where u cant count on getting a foul or the defender not wanting to be physical adn not fou;

[@HackerluvIsus]

dang i cant spell

[@CONLEYHOOPS]

Ya but driving is about confidence. And not being denied. It’s more about finding a way to succeed. The more you work on going downhill and not letting people stop you the easier it gets.

[@D.A.4EVAA]

It works I was able to make a and one play to send it overtime thanks!

When i drive my defender has a large wingspan and i get stuck or even a little bit of big body on me or even get blocked what do i do?

[@CONLEYHOOPS]

Shot blockers love to time shots. So always attack the body and change rhythm. Also if a big is stronger and you get stuck, it’s the same thing. Changing pace and then getting into the body and then going away.

the more time the ball is in your hand the more control you have of it . hence pounding the rock

If all else fails just take three steps to the basket like Jalen Brunson did in this clip 🤷🏾‍♂️. That’ll do it all day baby, don’t worry about that travel babel.
