Learn How to Spin a Basketball on your Finger - A lesson from the Harlem Globetrotters

A 40 second video lesson with instructions to teach you how to spin a ball on your finger from #16 Scooter Christensen of the World Famous Harlem Globetrotters.

[@nickaguilar4007]

I suspect the real lesson is: Be absolutely determined to spin the ball!

[@adamcpak5065]

instructions not clear house is on fire

[@willtay6550]

Instructions unclear now I am in the NBA getting paid 3 million a year

[@randomkid7672]

[@gustavopassos3822]

That’s the best tutorial and is the base for every other one on youtube. There’s no magic trick, the secret is practice. He said everything you have to know, now you have to practice.

[@Jason-uw1sk]

I just learned how to do it a while ago. If you practice for like 3 hours a day for a 2 weeks you'll start to get good at 2 months really good

[@marco4568]

gotta start doing what you say now

[@jazak1507]

Wow u posted this a decade ago?! You alive??

[@shatayupatil123]

[@thechudson]

[@skrillz_14th]

[@Luigifan14]

Wow! Thank you! :D Always a pleasure to learn from a Trotter!

[@RealDonaldDrumpf]

These guys are incredible I am so impressed by how he kept hitting it to spin it faster and still kept it centered

[@SmileyBilly1]

Thanks dude. It was a big help for starting practise.:)

[@willtay6550]

This is the best thing ever I went from nothing to doing it behind my back from this video eye opener.

[@McDeezy_]

Krusty the Clown: *_“HE’S SPINNING THE BALL ON HIS FINGER!_* *JUST TAKE IT! TAKE THE BALL!!!”* 😠

[@keirasharif6053]

It made sense

[@jennyffergarcia2069]

Those guys came to my school lol !!!

[@greenrobot5]

Me: How to spin a basketball? Him: It's easy, just spin the ball

[@jamesnw]

Put figure in center of spin, why didn’t I think of that! Easy peasy. 😝

[@Reu8enofleon]

The trick he did at the end

[@mehgaben1887]

Play the video at the lowest speed (x0.25) and you can see the technique more clearly. Pay attention to the movement of the finger and the direction it is spinning with the ball. Your finger will be moving in a circular motion.

[@squirrelsRfun24]

cool

[@ManuelCantrellCedilloJrZIV]
