People not using triple threat are missing out so bad. I tell all my friends they really need to start using it, at least for a spin launch. Especially this year cuz most players really have no handles so triple threat can get you a speed boost or advance you to the high or low post. The lebron size up escape to ball hand speed boost is gone, people need to learn real basketball moves now. I love it. Real skill gap.

One of my favorite moves in triple threat that I can do consistently now is swing the ball low a few times then just pull up. I do it with Kawhi and the defense can’t react quick enough.

Post control should impact your post spins exits, and post movements. While there are triple threat combos out of the post - I'll discuss that in a separate video! But for the perimeter, triple strike should be one of the main badges you want, along with acceleration, and core ball handling attributes!

I used to say the same thing. But 3-day weekend I decided to learn. Not a dribble god but unless my team cuts and brings his man into my drive I can score damn near at will. Started with one move at a time, a go dunk combo and a shooting combo. Kevin Cruz videos and Dimework videos helped me tremendously. And this is with a 80 ball handle and 75 speed w/ball. 92 strength for gold bulldozer as a nice bonus as well
