Yes shooting is a very important fundamental you need to have in your game to be successful but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You also must be able to dribble with out dribbling you wouldn’t be able to make plays for yourself or your teammates. When you know how to dribble that gives you the ability to move around the court. What good is it if you don’t know how to dribble? You would just be standing around on the basketball court basically. I will tell you some ways to get your dribbling skills better.
One way you can get your dribbling skills is by having a basketball and just standing there and practicing the basic dribbling moves. The basic dribbling moves include standing dribbling, between the legs dribbling, and behind the back dribbling. You want to practice each one of these individually for 30 minutes. If you are really serious about getting your skills better you want to practice these dribbling drills every day.
You also want to practice dribbling on the go. On the go means while dribbling up and down the court. You want to stay under the court. You want to stay under control while you do this and you should practice this also 30 minutes, and if your serious every day. Each day that goes by and practice these dribbling drills you will only get better and better at it. When you get good at dribbling that’s when you can learn things like crossovers it’s optional. You will only get better at the things you practice it all starts with the fundamentals.
I used to be on my junior high school basketball team way back in the day, and I have to say that this post is spot on. The only way to get better at playing basketball is to practice, like most any other sport or activity. Practice is the ONLY way to get better. Even after the team practice I would have to be playing at my home basketball court practicing my shooting from every point on the court and doing every dribbling exercise just to be able to keep up with everyone else. Even Michael Jordan had to practice. Great post and helpful video.
