Types Of Basketball Players
How can I improve my dribbling in Basketball?
I am a pretty good shooter. But I need help attacking the Basket and scoring. I can’t dribble the basketball that well and can’t drive to the basketball. I am pretty much a catch and shoot type of player. How can become a better dribbler and have some good one-on-one moves?
To get better you will need to practice with good form and a varity of game situations. Practice first with one hand then the other. Practice walking with the ball and dribbling then exploding straight forward, then stop and back up. If you have to look at the ball to begin with so be it. You want to work on dribbling the ball as if it was on a string and you don’t need to watch it. You want to practice running, sprinting, hesitating, stopping, chaning direcitons… go to a empty court and practice… practice, practice. Then try it in some pick up games. You want to practice simply going straight at the basket then pulling up for a jumper from a variety of distances. Once you are comfortable you can run across court, pivot, then hit the J from a variet of distances. Start close and work your way out. Then work on changing directions or throwing a fake off a dribble and take your shot. Work on your lay ups as that is critical and a normal part of the game. After you can do a good cross over, they you can work on between the legs, around the back, spin, etc. Master the cross over, hesistation, stopping, stalling, first. Then worry about the pretties moves later.
Here is another fun drill, put a chair or two on the court and simply practicing dribbling past them with a change over, cut in front of them behind them, go full speed beside, hesistate and blow past.
One of the biggest mistakes in dribbling is not going somewhere with your move. You should be covering some ground not dribbling in one place.
See how few dribbles it takes you to get down the court (around 3-5 depending upon age and size).
Yes you can practice dribbling with two balls and moving around with both… differnent speeds, cutting and slashing, etc.
Best of luck.
