What Is Basketball Athleticism?

Basketball athleticism many times is wrongly seen to be how high players jump, how fast they can sprint straight ahead, and how much they can benchpress. But there's so much more. Stability, lateral and linear quickness, vertical explosiveness, squaring to the basket, and much more. Check out the video for the four main components of athleticism, and stay tuned for how to improve them!
Basketball is truly a game of inches, which is why "Attention to Detail" focuses on the smallest nuances of the game. We focus mainly on biomechanics and the details that spectators do not normally catch.

No Derrick Rose highlight? shame. He's one of the most athletic players I have ever seen despite his injuries.

[@lilkermit794]

Even with the injuries he is still one of the most explosive players i ever seen

[@awalkingbucket5341]

TheMrargemz Dosent mean he should be in the video. Everybody knows he's athletic idiot. Plenty of athletic players aren't in this video. Shit what else u want spudd Webb in the video?

edward childs I Hope You Realize Not Every Letter Of Every Word Needs To Be Capitalized

[@najirban]

I think Brandon Roy is a good example for basketball athleticism... well minus the knee cartilage issues. He was so strong with the ball

[@alvaromendoza9014]

This is what i was searching since i started to play basketball; thank you so much. I will give you a shoutout when i get to the NBA👍🏻

[@Frostburn2716]

How’s that going for you?

[@MrJimichael]

[@lonemantou7904]

i like your videos, so much qualities, keep moving 🙏🙏

Great channel, subscribed.

[@anderleiyotochuckst-emelcr7285]

Basketball players are the most athletic, stamina filled, coordinated ahletes with long reaches, tall height and still light weight and fat. They would make good boxers and good stand up fighters in mma.

[@mirakekkle9476]

@Jack12today That's mostly because the sport is inherently more physical and they weigh more. Factor in the hand eye coordination, basketball players are equally as athletic.

[@mr.sundar8220]

@Jack12today There is no vertical jumping involved in Football. Also they get to wear so many guards and protection. Also Soccer plays have the same agility as football players. When you make a football player stand beside a basketball player, you'll understand the difference.

[@defnotnath4nie129]

@Jack12today that's true but also unfair because around half the league are 7 foot giants who cant necessarily jump high. also the tests arent always true as russel westbrook was listed around a 36 inch vert which is definitely not true

[@CaliforniaWaffle]

Definitely worked out for Nate Robinson 😂

[@dpen23]

Fantastic content

[@karllathan731]

this channel is so litttt

What happened to the bass at 3:13! Lmao

[@wahabbigballa]

Awesome work man !!!! Can you make a Paul pierce video please

[@CeesusBeats]

Great great great video

[@Ultralulz305]

No Derrick Rose whatsoever but Steph is considered athletic. What a world we live in

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

Never said D Rose isn't athletic... He's still one of the more athletic players in the league despite his injuries. There just wasn't anything in the video about him, just like many other athletic players who were not included.

[@Bhasker7474]

These is a video just about d Rosie's athleticism

[@ParanoiaSZN]

Rose is trash now 2011 is gone ✌🏼️

[@ParanoiaSZN]

Rose is trash now 2011 is gone ✌🏼️

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

Everyone knows Rose was, and still is athletic. We are trying to outline the subtleties of basketball athleticism, not the explosiveness and 40-inch verticals that literally anyone can understand.

[@ryanpalch7470]

This probably doesn't relate to the premise of the video, but anyone else agree that Nate Robinson has underrated athleticism in general?

[@CaliforniaWaffle]

Not in boxing but everything else 😳

[@arthurcedeno3912]

please do vids about KG next, bigs should always learn from him.

[@themindfulway5890]

Atention to detail: D'Angelo Russell edition please!

[@censari544]

+By Any Means Basketball main I'm getting a bit confused trying to watch all of your videos in one hour.

[@dmoney5340]

Vertical explosiveness, lateral explosiveness, and upper body explosiveness

[@savior-jx7tm]

Is athletisim like you can dunk alot and change speed and can you do defensive

[@marlon1581]

Instrumental please?? but great video, keep it up👌

[@johnpatrickgonzales2065]

Cruisin by Luke White

[@the_seahawk22]

I can see what you mean, but truly I think that personally that athleticism is is based on how athletic a person is. Even if it is only basketball specific. Although I may be wrong and I would love to hear your reasoning behind this video

[@iPyroNigma]

A tennis athlete might not be able to excel at basketball, even with his athleticism. Sports develop specific athletic traits because of how they are played and practiced.

[@nicolasbaur9002]

song ???

[@noahlivingston6764]

Beat?

[@dianasterling3480]

rip headphones lol

[@stampedmetalsword8099]

I am 6' 8" and have a max standing vertical of 49 inches.

[@TheFalloutShot96]

Very fast coordinated feet work ( with the ball )

[@TheFalloutShot96]

Foot

[@ngocnguyenxuan7295]

Those shooters might square up when they start the shots but ALL of them TURN their body when landing. This is CRUCIAL.

[@74bignate]

Ngoc nguyen xuan Agree 100 percent bud

[@saitamasorryu1153]

Square means having your feet facing in the comfortable position for your shot also on balance.

[@nathang9034]

Saitama Sorryu never heard a high school coach say that lmao

[@BTate-me8wz]

Do ANTHONY DAVIS, and PAUL GEORGE!!!!!!!

[@dennissmith6204]

Curry over me WTF

[@georgerosebush9754]

Is this beat I'm hearing really THAT distorted? Does anyone think that sounds good?

[@youngcitybandit]

George Rosebush its supposed to be distorted i believe

[@VitorHugo-bc5rm]

This that xxxtentacion type beat tho lmaoo

[@GlitchPredator]

What is the name of the beat?

[@SaintChristopher_]

sounds like a remix of break up song by wale

[@GlitchPredator]

indeed thanks!

[@EricYS13]

No, it's Cruisin by Luke White

[@stephenmanzi6798]

attention to details brandon ingram

[@user-ob5wl1qf9w]

[@gmbtime4100]

Song

[@melyjahbest6866]

It's the beat from "the break up song "by wale just remixed a bit

[@CaesarMagnum]

dont Square your feet to the basket when you shoot, it will Hurt your shot. sure for some players is works but for most, if your righthanded your Right Foot should be a little in front of your left Foot, feet turned away from the basket and so do the hips

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

Again, square doesn't necessarily mean pointed directly towards the basket. When we say it, we just mean on-balance with the toes pointed to where the natural position is for each shooter.

[@CaesarMagnum]

+By Any Means Basketball ok, ive learned it means 10 toes to the basket

[@jimmybutleriii7577]

What I suggest is for leaning shots don’t square up but when open square up

[@mmd7773]

Instrumental ??

[@danielyoo828]

Seems like a remix of Stevie Wonder's All I do

[@amarisantetokounmpo7716]

Ok so i am super athletic

[@devvv4616]

man if you applied your knowledge in your actual game youre prolly be a dam good player by now

[@michaelangeloencarnacion3985]

Is Kyrie athletic?

[@SlimReaper24246]

Curry is considered athletic but no Bron or D Rose highlights

[@ndot3886]

John Wall?

[@rumoneanderson2404]

yes duhh...he's fast and explosive

[@postrexbean330]

Hahahah when talking bout athleticism in the NBA, most of the clips are RUSSEL WESTBROOK 🤣

[@SlimReaper24246]

How are you supposed to improve all of this

[@rentinghouseseveryday3739]

By workin out polymetric training or to some it comes naturally

[@mcfuckinanotheraccount808]

Just play the game a lot, train explosiveness on multiple planes of motion, strenght training and sprinting. Essentially train the body to move well for basketball and real life demands

[@aabdi2001]

1st

[@jasonpark6421]

shows "explosive superstars" and a clip of zach lavine......not yet buddy

[@nathang9034]

Jason Park I mean ya know, he did have a 40inch vert two years ago right?
