How to: Never Get Your LAYUP Blocked in Basketball AGAIN!!! How to Make Layups Over Taller Defenders

[@ethangreig938]

I am a 6’2” 15 year old player. I’ve always been put at center because I’ve always been the tallest on the team. Since I was put at center, my coaches never allowed me to do any of the shooting or handling drills, and I’d be stuck with post drills. So I took it upon myself to try and become a guard. Your videos and others like it are the reason why I am now a shooter and have good handles. Btw, I finally got out of the center position and am starting at small forward now

[@ethangreig938]

Also can you make a video showing workouts to do with a weighted basketball

[@greatestever8825]

Ethan Greig haha same as me bro. I'm always put at the Center position and i don't fit the position at all

[@winkypanda5130]

thanks for your moves. I am currently working on floaters to finish once I get inside the 3 point arc. its been great.

[@aznbnn]

Pump fake

[@leedohyun1fan]

Step back. If ur dribble is still alive use it to create space. If not like Ben said either pump fake but if they just stand there then find a free person.

[@wilsonfisk6156]

Underrated vid

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Appreciate the support!

[@MB-bs3kt]

I like the video, nice moves well explained and good video sequences. However, I have one point, correct me if I am wrong: If the defender is not in the no charge zone and you hit him with your shoulder in the chest I would deffo give an offensive foul. In my opinion there is also no discussion if the contact is heavy or not, you go with your shoulder directly to the body of the defensive player its a charge foul except the contact is not heavy and the defender is positioned in the no charge zone.

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Get into them and initiate contact so that they can't jump as high or block you.

You're the man coach

[@TheRealClipit1]

Try jumping backwards almost into the defender to slow their momentum and stunt their jump

[@sebasrojas9006]

What if they’re coming from behind?

[@Dylan-bh6mr]

ik it’s been 2 years but this is why i came here lol

[@grapesplay352]

@@Dylan-bh6mr If you Really Need To And they are coming behind or to the side Kinda Throw your hip into them and hold the ball further to the other side ( if you throw your hip to the left finish with ur arm on your right side ) that should cause enough seperation and if they are behind you kinda throw your ass into them lmao and that will also cause some forms of seperation between you and the defender and don't forget to take your time when finishing sometimes waiting a second while in the air is the difference between being blocked and getting the shot off in time.

[@Jimbo77789]

How much contact can you make checking a defender without it being a foul?

[@oi-uf8vy]

I got blocked by a girl today I’m 6’3 and she was 5’9 idk if I will ever live this down😭

[@megaabomin8r507]

what if you are too short, and when you try and make contact, you can't even reach their chest... :(

[@ThincPROBasketball]

As long as you make contact you'll be fine

[@deathweed1462]

Try to jump high

[@davidhall4401]

Then go for his waist area. In football shorter defensive tackles always attack taller guys legs because it takes away their leverage to move. As a much shorter player you can apply that same concept on the court.

[@biga2x]

I needed this video. I am orientating my game around driving and being able to finish. Do you think this is a good idea?

[@Chandasouk]

Are you tall and strong? There are small guards like Iverson and Kyrie that are excellent finishers, but they are more of the exception than the norm. I'm a short player, so I usually stick to the perimeter and straight line drives when I can.

[@biga2x]

im 5'7 and im pretty strong, but i wanted to perfect my finishing technique like kyrie

[@jtdabraham7638]

if you're short, u can still finish at the rim if you practice

[@lotus8965]

CosmicPlearn work on your English (spin) on the ball

[@tobiasbengtsson2112]

CosmicPlearn if you won’t grow it’s probably smarter to try and shoot better threes.

[@duma3336]

Thanks for the video what sneakers you wearing boiiii

[@noobgaming9492]

what if the blocker just waits under the ring to block you.Like when you jump he jumps too and just makes a wide space of his hands to block lay ups if shoot he will just swing the spaced arms down if neuro step he will just turn a little bit and block you Elbow in the chest dosent work coz he wont cave but if you do it harder you will have foul how do u get pass him?.Also he has a high jump and long arm so he could reach the ball or just grab it anytime.Jumpshot? he will just put his arms together.....

[@Daily1mprov]

Get good at floaters to make him jump more and when he comes closer to you you have plenty options from that eg fake then reverse or back into him and get the layup

[@snakyballoon415]

When I do euro step I act like I’m gonna pass it So I could get pass them easier Oh and I use the 360 layup too
