@@ChillyWi11 my man's went flying 18 feet from the AI cross lol

[@IanLEAU]

I remember learning some of these traits back in high school, back in 2000 when Iverson was blowing up, it was the first time anyone had seen someone dribble the ball from outside what we all called "the box". We were always taught to keep the ball close so we could get to our shots or draw fouls easier. Our coach hated Allen Iverson's game lol Real old school guy, but can't complain when you're averaging 30ppg on crossover setups lol. It's really fun watching the NBA players take what was established in the past and made it more personalised within this current system. The way people are guarding these days allows for more ballhandling opportunities.

[@junipheia]

DeMarDeLeonard #Raptors #Spurs I'm mainly all of them except for defensive as I don't see the need to with all the other skill sets although during dribbling I have sudden outbursts of speed

[@XXSynapticneuronXX]

In my experience, great ball handlers use all 7 for specific situation Loose ball handler- good for when you are trying to get a shot off in iso he backs up shoot, he moves up take it to the rim. loose ball handling also give great rhythm for your shot. You really have to get your defender really out of position for it to work otherwise they usually recover fast which is why i prefer to pull up when using loose handles Tight ball handler- good for when your trying to get a quick bucket or trying to draw in the defense and make a quick pass for an assist. You can also use this type of dribble to make double or triple moves. I also like to use a tight cross over when the defender attempts to steal alot Shifty ball handler- good for lulling defenders to sleep( great for one on ones) . These moves are nice when the defender plays solid defense on you( not too much or too little space) because even the slightest movement out of position or freeze and you have them beat and its also good for beating the help defenders for a sneaky finish. Most elite gaurds use this style of ballhandling in the paint to get off lay ups advanced momentum- good for when you sense the defender is off balance aka in transition, or if a help defender is coming up to close out. These moves are really hard to pull off simply because most players dont have a respectable shot. If you do have a good shot hit a couple shots in the game before utilizing these tactics. Also great to utilize these movements with head fakes deceptive- honestly this isnt really its own style its just something to add to the other styles. This style goes best with the advanced momentum but also pretty well with shift. Its all about mastering your eyes. Nice to use when pass faking, pretending to use screens. The general principle with this is you want your defending thinking you'll do the expected. It takes high iq to not rush opportunities Defensive- good for setting up plays and slowing down the pace of the game. If your always gunning youll just waste energy and make sloppy plays. This style allows you to make good plays, see open lanes, mismatches, cuts. It also forces the defense to gaurd you longer meaning more chance for them to get lazy and mess up.

[@XXSynapticneuronXX]

deliberate ballhandling isnt really its own style either, its just saying read and react, this requires iq, good instincts and quick decision making, If you feel like all your moves get shut down or cut off it means your not paying attention to your defender.

[@myrusEW]

Are you stupid? Name one player that “uses all 7”. Oh yeah, you’re talking random shit and there isn’t one.

[@tryquill2009]

[@kevinhernandez3913]

Adam Muhammed . Excelent splitted up followed description. Very accurate.

[@ttgdaedae951]

Chris Legaspi . He's not saying someone is all 7, but he's saying the greats use some of each depending on the situation they're in. Allen Iverson was known for his loose handle but he does have highlights of a tight handle. If you watch Kyrie Irving if he is pulling up off the dribble he will use hang dribbles to get his jumper, a hesitation or different variation of loose handle. On a drive when you are blowing by defenders you will want to use the tight handle, use deceptive ball handling for situations such as the pick and roll which makes Chris Paul and Steve Nash so great. They know how to use their eyes. Different situations call for different types of moves. It's all basketball IQ. When I play at my high school I'm usually the type that goes downhill reads my defender's positioning, the type of defense the opposing team is playing and my floor spacing then I choose the most efficient way to get my team a bucket.

[@korysingleton4869]

jumper F22 never really did that that often. For me it's the little in between the leg setup that harden has made famous. If you time the burst of speed right, it's dangerous.

[@fabianstickel1801]

Agreed, and it's extremely simple so you can do it pretty much at any time

[@HVH777]

King Crawford You should start with your right hand and dribble between your legs but when it hits your left hand bounce it back. Basically like an inverted in between the legs. So right in between to the left but make it quick like a hesitation and proceed going right. Its a gamble move because the ball can be stripped but i think it will get your defender off guard especially if your coming down court execute then drive.

[@HVH777]

Have your left foot forward right foot back.

[@butter_nut1817]

jumper F22 Or you can just right back left across the back with a pound dribble. This way you protect the ball with you body, looks pretty cool and gives you more options(like a step back, hesitation drive...)

[@HVH777]

I'd rather be a steve nash,jason kidd, chris paul, jason williams type of ballhandler. That curry, kyrie look down the whole time slows the ball movement down. This is why lebron wants a true point guard. Someone who keeps their head up looking to pass and orchestrate the offense. A pass first point guard protects the ball and finds holes in the D

[@kingaqua908]

jumper F22 I don't think LeBron wants or needs a point guard that passes. That's his job and I don't think you understand that. LeBron is a Point Forward and Kyrie is a scoring guard

[@HVH777]

DeMarDeLeonard #Raptors #Spurs He said he wants a point guard. Probably so he won't have to run the offense 24/7. It can open up for other plays and schemes if they get a true point guard. Plus they need a backup PG. Matt left

[@kingaqua908]

jumper F22 There is a reason they work well together. It's because LeBron knows Kyrie is one of the best offensive players in the league so he should be the passer instead of scoring cause he doesn't need to. LBJ is all around and Kyrie is a scoring god

[@joshuaprimo8366]

jumper F22 you're wrong. he needs a playmaker so when him and kyrie come off their lead won't take serious hits. someone who can handle the ball well and run the offense off the bench. no one off the bench can do that they are are all just shooters or slashes as opposed to golden state who has a personnel that can all dribble past and shoot. he's not knocking kyrie cuz he can run the offense as he has shown all his career. and about the "true point guard" stuff. Kyrie has always been a true point guard. if you watched him before lebron he was running the offense and getting assists. when lebron cam he had to adjust to lebrons point forward playstyle and became more of a score first guard

[@joshuaprimo8366]

jumper F22 and when was the last time you saw kyrie loose the ball or get cookied? everything you are saying kyrie doesn't do is false lol but they need someone that can be similar to a kyrie or a Chris Paul coming off the bench for him and lebron

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

Solid video. Any ball handler has the same role: to manipulate the defense to open up scoring opportunities, and I feel ball handling isn't just about scoring, but some of the best ball handling opens up scoring for other teammates. Kyrie may be able to fake out players with changes of speed and jamal may have the street ball over exaggeration moves down packed, but guards like Chris Paul and recently Curry have done so well because their ball handling allows more options. You may have good side-to-side ball skills (ankle breaker), where you can rock your defender to a state of comfort, you may have good enough instincts to push right at then without fouling (one-man fastbreak), or you may be crafty enough to use fakes and control the floor with spacing (floor general)

I have a tight dribble, and use mainly momentum and deceptive tactics. I like to do this hesitation move where I use a burst of speed, plant a leg way out, hesitantly hop back, look as I’m about to pass or shoot, and use a left right dribble or in and out dribble to drive to the rim. This or a simple hop killer crossover to another fast behind the back to get the defender to absolutely commit one way and then shift momentum.

Respect on breaking down different ways/aspects of breaking down a defender off the dribble.

I'm definitely definitive because I almost take contact every time and I'm a loose ball handler because I keep it away from my body

I definitely am a combination of a few styles. I use that hanging hesitation all the time, and then usually go blazing to the rim. I'm a shorter guy who's close to 300 lbs, but I've got good explosion. I also use the defensive style of ballhandling, as well as reading a defender's momentum and using my eyes to deceive and lull my defender to sleep. My behind the back dribbles come in handy when I'm going for a quick direction change, because it catches the defender off guard. Favorite separation dribble is the stepback, because I'm explosive enough and quick enough to leap backwards and really separate. Great video, this channel is my favorite basketball channel on KZbin, keep grinding, the analysis is really helping me to evolve my game. 🙌🙌

I'm definitely a mesh of tight, shifty, deceptive, and defensive. But the way I play all comes together.

tight and shifty ballhandler is the best combo and the most simple one. Advance momentum is also a good addition for it ☺️
