Everybody was scared at some point. Cause you know you’re gonna get FLAMED if you miss something so close and easy 😂😂
Yup! Worst thing is your teammates being visibly upset lol
Left handed lay ups where the death of me all of Jr high, summer before freshman year i did 90% of all my workout drills left handed and its been money ever since. But that fear of missing such an easy shot and getting subbed is the worst
@@pabl0sauced0 all comes down to practice man. You can’t be intimidated by something you’ve mastered.
@@trilliam8806 Tell that to Ben Simmons. He can't be intimidated by dunking.
Man I used to miss so many layups in Highs School in practice, but during games I didn’t really miss open layups
Just like Ben Simmons
casual, simmons shoots above league average from the field and all his shots are layups
@@mikezhao1164 😂
Except with jump shots not layups lol
@@mikezhao1164 casual 🤓
@@mikezhao1164 it's a reference from the hawks series casual
JJ really is a 3pt shooter if he he’s never heard of the mikan layup drill😭😭

...enjoy your retirement, you will always be the Duke legend that I love to hate, yet have mad respect for the career you put together.

Least he kept taking 'em despite the enormous clowning he would've got.
He is super humble.
Everybody knows layups will terrify you wide open bro
Matisse just airballed a clutch layup against the Raptors came here INSTANTLY
🤣🤣🤣🤣
jj just retired already high on the podcast
Love it
he explained it was because he was still feeling emotional due to retirement
@@plontulublalulu where'd he say that ?
@@marlon6233 the pod if you actually listened to it lmao
@@marlon6233 if you watch the blooper reel, he basically cried the entire time. Then he had the interview with Tommy. He probably spent a lot of time after that crying too. So he probably looked beat up by the time Matisse showed up for the interview.
i'm a Laker fan til my grave, but Matisse is one of my fave personalities in the NBA rn. i prefered his vlog in the bubble over JaVale's. Matisse is genuine.

Seattle-Tacoma area is a major basketball hub. The hoop scene is bumping, down to the parks. I used to visit friends there, and just show up to whatever random park we were near. It was always going off. It's crazy they lost the Sonics in one of the planet's best basketball markets.

I mean yeah. Seattle is one of America's major cities. It's almost like NY losing the Knicks.
I heard Seattle (and Las Vegas) might be getting expansion teams. Not sure how accurate the source was, but intriguing.
@@lemongavine Yep. Those are the likely cities, it seems, from what a lot of people are saying.
@@lemongavine those are the likely two destinations but I'm not sure when. I'd like to say at some point during this decade but the NBA also normally says they're not looking to expand.
Its very comforting to know that a professional nba player also couldn't make layups until the 8th grade lmao
lowkey a jab to Simmons lmao
Facts lol
High key
ben passed on a dunk he doesn't miss layups so
@@sophiawilliams8650 Well you can’t miss if you don’t shoot. It got to the point he wouldn’t even look at the basket in the 4th quarter against the Hawks
Coach: Alright let's warm up! Get in Layup lines!
Matisse:😳
I was SO bad with Layups in Middle School too brotha!
But u ain’t in the NBA nigga
@@trent5816 he could probably be in high school for all you know
Matisse seems like a normal person, actually sounds like one of my buddies
I mean he is another human bro that the LORD created. Success isn’t all it seems. The fam and money that’s it. The inward is what matters.
I thought I was the only one lol
wide open fastbreak layups give you pressure like no other
Never really knew much about Thynulle but he seems like a good guy
czcams.com/video/bLJtYpDIXdc/video.html John cena fight in street
He’s gotta be top 3 kindest person ever
This is so me till this day.
Istg bruh wide open layups with no one around is the most terrifying moment in basketball
Well Thybulle, somethings never change !
I had this same problem through middle school, I was by far the teams leading stealer and defensive player. Where my team and the crowd would have to scream slow down and I would literally sprint and hop jump to a tiny jump shot. It worked.
Australians are confusing
Nationality or race has nothing to with a person’s character bro. It’s the person themselves.
This is literally me when I play. I love running the break but hate finishing 😆
We have all had this feeling before
I had that my sophomore year bad lmaooo I just got ptsd
where is this mans shoes...lmfao
Tough question, you did good Matisse
I had this and I never got over this lol
Lmaoooo this is such fax😂😭
Seattle!!! Represent all day!!
Also, had some kind of mental block with layups too in the 6th grade lol. The ball would slam off the backboard. Everybody would be on the floor laughing. Lmao.
Its some kind of ptsd lmao.
Need Jaylen Brown on here next
It’s so cool that Matisse knows who George Mikan is. Mikan was slow, couldn’t jump but had great footwork and was strong as a bull. He’d do great in today’s game (think Jokic or Deandre Ayton). Clearly Thybulle loves basketball, and so do I. Now I’ll be watching for him in 21-22!
when you overshoot the fastbrek and now youre in a situation where youre directly under the basket and its awkward to lay it in lol
Matisse is funny asl 😂
My friend was the same way playing with him was halairious 😭 he was always Clowned
I had the same issue when I played ball, of course no where near his level. But I do understand where he came from when he said he couldn’t control his speed and finesse, being a smaller but fast guard myself. I could shoot fine and everything else but I would miss layups, especially the wide open ones and it ultimately became a mental hurdle over everything else. I make my layups now but I did mirror that fear he had at some point. I think it had everything to do with height and overcompensating momentum and strength when laying up.
@oo70mar true, it was probably a combination of all these factors
When I was playing basketball in school I used to steal a lot but miss layups too. So, I quitted basketball 😅
However, my height was another important factor in my decision (I'm 5'10" now).
Same I would miss open lay ups in games so I started slowing down so I can get contested layups so at least I can use that as a excuse
@@lieutenantdan6709 smart decision 😂
No shoes, my bro comfy lol
JJ got a strong leg cross game..
dude got his feet out
I was always paranoid about layups too. I would overthink them even though I could hit everything else without thinking.
I had the same issue but with dunking 😁
So funny that he mentioned Mercer island, I literally go there
im stll scared of layups! i always find myself ruining to fast
I always ruin 2 fast 💨
Yeah and then sometimes I’d try slow myself down and get a travel instead🤦♂️
2:48 😂
Matisse is extremely intelligent, dude is super talented
Bro me and my friends were looking through the old yearbooks, and he went to the middle school we go to
New York actually been having a few players come out the last being cole Anthony but the problem is soon as they become sophomores oak hill, montvernde, and Img snatch them up then they don’t give ny it’s due
Bruhh that fear was real lol aint nothing like going on a fastbreak and missing a layup like that in front of everyone 😂
Valid
Yo I stg same exact story in middle school lmaoo
Must be an Australian thing
Fr 😂
At least Mattise took the layup
Lmaoooo
Matisse different in there wit no shoes on lol
I used to do the same exact thing, had no body control and would get so nervous everyone was watching me, when I was in elementary school I would get the ball in basketball and literally just toss up 3 pointers from half court just cause i didn’t want the ball in my hands, I was just a pass machine and my dad would get so mad at me “shoot the damn ball” LMAO
every other team has that guy lol
Ben Simmons: *scared of a layup*
Tise: First time?
The timing of this thing though
I had the same issue
Dog I used to play wit a kid just like this when I was in middle school. Dude was lockdown on defense but missed every open layup on the fast break
I lowkey have the same problem, I'm very fast, and I have a lot of problems trying to control the ball at that speed, it normally bounces off the board and doesn't even hit the rim
I'm 21 and still don't go for layups 😂 I love sitting at the 3pt line and just drilling 3s. It's the only thing I can do on offense
Oh man why did i just see a future in which Matisse misses an important layup to win a playoff game...
I actually know exactly what he's talking about. I was pretty fast and got steals often, i would be going so fast I had to just float the ball straight up and let momentum bounce it in. Somehow was doin that brain trigonometry in 6th grade.
Bro I’m the same way right now
And know Ben Simmons 😭😭😭
im still bad at layups
I had the same problem.
This is so funny
Once I started dunking layups were harder on fast breaks.
Im scared of going for a layup cuz i feel like someone gunna come behind me and smack it out of the atmosphere
I had this problem smh I still deal
With it
I know a few guys that had this problem
I feel like this happens to a lot of young kids that are super athletically talented. Amount of young kids I’ve seen whiffing wide open layups because they just don’t know how to slow down haha.
Happened to me all the time. Still does from time to time. You just get that crazy adrenaline rush when you’re running full speed after a stop and you just want to jump through the roof of the gym. Half the time I couldn’t even focus on the layup I was worried about the guy behind me catching up and just trying to jump as high as possible
New York got some great players, its just that many arent rocking in those trash aau teams
Ben Simmons : he just like me fr
I feel that 7th grade fast break, can’t make a layup after a steal, vibe. Still hurts…
Sounds very Ben Simmonsy
I’m hope everyone gets to go to boo Williams and see some elite level basketball
First on a podcast with no sox or shoes on lmao
Should teach Ben Simmons on how not to be scared
Yoooo I ain’t make the NBA but I used to fey the same way lol
Till like 14🤦🏾♂️
JJ doesn't know what a Mikan layup is?....whaaaaaa? I'm shocked
Crazy right.. Its like all his drills were outside jumpers
Yeah those Mikan drills are so common I'm surprised
I’m just a mexican stoner trying to make it out the hood by doing storytimes & reaction videos on my CZcams channel 😅😅
I did the same thing. 😂 But I Cld shoot so I Wld pull up from 3 or midrange instead of laying up. It was a higher percentage shot
I guess that explains why he's not as aggressive on offense as he is on defense. Love watching this dude play though
Defense in basketball is the best in real life Basketball is not quite as soulful as the other sports like football There’s a lot of punk suburban kids with a lot of ego and the poor kids have ego too It feels great shutting someone down in basketball because there’s so much trash talk and people who think they’re 💩 dont stink
@@youdbesuprised8105 Scoring is "sexier" I guess. Everyone pays attention to the best scorers, not everyone cares about the best defenders... That's why kids only wanna shoot threes like Curry. Playing D is a bit of thankless job despite being so important. Dudes like Thybulle always make defense fun to watch though. At least one defensive highlight every game
I know exactly what his talking about haha. Running to the rim so fast you totally brick the layup. Or even worse: you’re pretty much under the backboard and the rim is behind you so you just throw up trash.
This comment section about to be ruthless about Ben Simmons
Matisse Hanamichi
W
he had the ben simmons disorder 😱😱
Bro if you don't put yo big basketball feet in some slippers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Philly to all the other teams: Ohhhh, so it was his fear that amde Simmons pass up a wide open dunk cuz it was definitely a WIDE OPEN LAYUP for Thybulle. Wow, Simmons is a great man! His trade value has been increased.
JJ doesnt know the mikan drill? how is that possible lol
It’s too late bro. He’s gone.
Who has the better basketball scene is not the same question as who has the most basketball propects make it to the NBA. Figured I would point that out for anyone who travels the city watching a billion basketball tournaments in NYC and wants to snatch JJ's head off his shoulder after he chose Seattle's "scene" over NY's.
NY hasn’t done anything since the 80s
Ytf is Tommy sitting like that
*Ben Simmons joke
and the Gym Class coach / Dad / friends didn't notice and correct the technique mistake?
Sixers front office is mentally unwell, how do they continue to draft players that are scared to score !
