I am a 6’2” 15 year old player. I’ve always been put at center because I’ve always been the tallest on the team. Since I was put at center, my coaches never allowed me to do any of the shooting or handling drills, and I’d be stuck with post drills. So I took it upon myself to try and become a guard. Your videos and others like it are the reason why I am now a shooter and have good handles. Btw, I finally got out of the center position and am starting at small forward now
Thank you, coach Alex!! I'm a Thincpro member, I have already bought 5 of your amazing and useful programs. I was wondering if you could help me to shot like Stephen curry ,cause I have been working on my shot for a very long time and watching Stephen curry training drills and I still missing a lot. I ask u to help me to understand the details of how and where to place my fingers on the ball and where and how to place my feet, and thank u so much!!
Hey coach I just bought very shock and I saw an exercise called "cool down" in the PDF can you explain about what I have to do in the cool down. Thx coach
I like the video, nice moves well explained and good video sequences. However, I have one point, correct me if I am wrong: If the defender is not in the no charge zone and you hit him with your shoulder in the chest I would deffo give an offensive foul. In my opinion there is also no discussion if the contact is heavy or not, you go with your shoulder directly to the body of the defensive player its a charge foul except the contact is not heavy and the defender is positioned in the no charge zone.
Again a great video from thincpro basketball and coach Alex Love your videos Thanks... I'm an Indian but I love your videos I'm watching your videos since your channel has been started #thincprobasketball Your videos helped me a lot to improve my game
Are you tall and strong? There are small guards like Iverson and Kyrie that are excellent finishers, but they are more of the exception than the norm. I'm a short player, so I usually stick to the perimeter and straight line drives when I can.
For me when i jump when someone is trying to block me i just shove my body to them so they get pushed a little and they cant get the ball lol And try not to flinch and dont be scared:)
Step back. If ur dribble is still alive use it to create space. If not like Ben said either pump fake but if they just stand there then find a free person.
I’m fourteen and I’m 5’10 and everytime I go for the layup I get blocked by people I shouldn’t get blocked by. I haven’t been playing for a long time and I need help if I’m going to make my school team! Thanks
what if the blocker just waits under the ring to block you.Like when you jump he jumps too and just makes a wide space of his hands to block lay ups if shoot he will just swing the spaced arms down if neuro step he will just turn a little bit and block you Elbow in the chest dosent work coz he wont cave but if you do it harder you will have foul how do u get pass him?.Also he has a high jump and long arm so he could reach the ball or just grab it anytime.Jumpshot? he will just put his arms together.....
Get good at floaters to make him jump more and when he comes closer to you you have plenty options from that eg fake then reverse or back into him and get the layup
@@Dylan-bh6mr If you Really Need To And they are coming behind or to the side Kinda Throw your hip into them and hold the ball further to the other side ( if you throw your hip to the left finish with ur arm on your right side ) that should cause enough seperation and if they are behind you kinda throw your ass into them lmao and that will also cause some forms of seperation between you and the defender and don't forget to take your time when finishing sometimes waiting a second while in the air is the difference between being blocked and getting the shot off in time.
Then go for his waist area. In football shorter defensive tackles always attack taller guys legs because it takes away their leverage to move. As a much shorter player you can apply that same concept on the court.

Floaters are a great way to score around the rim
Thanks coach i will be better to improve

The cool down is just like stretching after you do the exercises
THINCPRO Basketball Thx coach!

They do it all the time and it doesnt get fouledd

How much contact can you make checking a defender without it being a foul?
Again a great video from thincpro basketball and coach Alex
Love your videos

I'm an Indian but I love your videos I'm watching your videos since your channel has been started

I subed
When I do euro step I act like I’m gonna pass it
So I could get pass them easier
Oh and I use the 360 layup too
how to pick the right finishing moves to attack the rim
depends on what the defense if giving u, practicing it in games, becomes second nature
Dean Ambrose thats just if u hav iq
Yo
@@Babyk2k facts
Curry does the high glass finish all the time. Good video as always :)
Its a great finish to use around the rim
I needed this video. I am orientating my game around driving and being able to finish. Do you think this is a good idea?
Are you tall and strong? There are small guards like Iverson and Kyrie that are excellent finishers, but they are more of the exception than the norm. I'm a short player, so I usually stick to the perimeter and straight line drives when I can.
im 5'7 and im pretty strong, but i wanted to perfect my finishing technique like kyrie
if you're short, u can still finish at the rim if you practice
CosmicPlearn work on your English (spin) on the ball
CosmicPlearn if you won’t grow it’s probably smarter to try and shoot better threes.
For me when i jump when someone is trying to block me i just shove my body to them so they get pushed a little and they cant get the ball lol
And try not to flinch and dont be scared:)
Helps a lot I’m about 5’2 at 13 years old
How tall are you now bro?
how to not get blocked under basket/ standing layup??'
Pump fake
Step back. If ur dribble is still alive use it to create space. If not like Ben said either pump fake but if they just stand there then find a free person.
0:24 people behind him got blocked
LMAOO
I’m fourteen and I’m 5’10 and everytime I go for the layup I get blocked by people I shouldn’t get blocked by. I haven’t been playing for a long time and I need help if I’m going to make my school team! Thanks
Get into them and initiate contact so that they can't jump as high or block you.
How to block shots off the backboard at my height 5.9
I did not get the free workout on my email
Hello?
what if the blocker just waits under the ring to block you.Like when you jump he jumps too and just makes a wide space of his hands to block lay ups if shoot he will just swing the spaced arms down if neuro step he will just turn a little bit and block you Elbow in the chest dosent work coz he wont cave but if you do it harder you will have foul how do u get pass him?.Also he has a high jump and long arm so he could reach the ball or just grab it anytime.Jumpshot? he will just put his arms together.....
Get good at floaters to make him jump more and when he comes closer to you you have plenty options from that eg fake then reverse or back into him and get the layup
Aye coach , can you show how to have quick hands for stealing im a PG but I have slow hands when stealing other PG's swipe me quick asf
So you want to know how to steal the ball as a defender?
Bow
Do you have any training camp or something?Would love to put in some work with you
Where you live?
@@ThincPROBasketball damn he never responded
@@kaoananakanalanqlan9343 tuff
I got blocked by a girl today I’m 6’3 and she was 5’9 idk if I will ever live this down😭
Me
What about getting blocked from behind?
Try jumping backwards almost into the defender to slow their momentum and stunt their jump
What if they’re coming from behind?
ik it’s been 2 years but this is why i came here lol
@@Dylan-bh6mr If you Really Need To And they are coming behind or to the side Kinda Throw your hip into them and hold the ball further to the other side ( if you throw your hip to the left finish with ur arm on your right side ) that should cause enough seperation and if they are behind you kinda throw your ass into them lmao and that will also cause some forms of seperation between you and the defender and don't forget to take your time when finishing sometimes waiting a second while in the air is the difference between being blocked and getting the shot off in time.
im here cause im 6’5 and get pick pocketed while bringing the ball up to the hoop
i was 4 points off scoring 50 and some kid blocked my shot
Is that defender james harden
Now what if your 4,9
Who else is here after getting your shot sent to the 3rd row 😓
what if you are too short, and when you try and make contact, you can't even reach their chest... :(
As long as you make contact you'll be fine
Try to jump high
Then go for his waist area. In football shorter defensive tackles always attack taller guys legs because it takes away their leverage to move. As a much shorter player you can apply that same concept on the court.
I am good shooter and good asf on handles but cant drive
Keep practicing it!
@@ThincPROBasketball thank u so much i can drive rn likr Westbrook tysm.
The worst feeling is when someone shorter than you blocks your shot
the people who disliked this video were the tall defenders
second😂
my friends is about 5 inches taller than me, and i went pass him , he always block it from behind or in my side, what should i do to avoid it
Try a shot fake
THINCPRO Basketball that don’t work
What if i get blocked on the high glass layup
You gotta get the ball up before the shot blocker gets there
For the first drill wouldn't that be a charging foul??
Avoid the defender and beat them to the spot
Dude it's hard when ur 4,11 and ur playing a 6foot dude that can jump high asf
Fax
I’m here cuz my brother kept blocking me 😂
