It’s not just high school kids that don’t like pressure - the best ball handlers in the world don’t want people up in them making them uncomfortable!! 14 seconds and Denver’s 1st and 2nd options completely blown up by 1 guy doing his job with intense & engaged ball pressure.-

Players: If you’re a 6 foot and under guard who wants to play D1 basketball, get GREAT at guarding the ball 94 feet and keeping the best athletes in front of you.

Modern BIG Fella Skills 🏀

Jokic put on an absolute Clinic on what it takes to be a modern big man in game 7, finishing with 16 pts, 13 assists, 22 rebounds, 3 blocks & 2 steals. -

Skills displayed:

1️⃣ PASSING. The modern big has to be able to pass out of multiple situations. Multiple pick and roll angles, including short rolls on mid pick and roll, out of post doubles, etc. The best bigs in today’s game make their teammates better! Jokic is the best in the world at it.

2️⃣ The ability to shoot! The modern big can stretch the D. Despite struggling from deep in game 7, Jokic’s ability to shoot when left open or in pick and pop situations makes him a threat the D has to at least respect.

3️⃣ Scoring & finishing off either foot with either hand.

4️⃣ REBOUNDING - The offensive skill increases in the modern big have caused some to think they don’t have to rebound. Job #1 for a big still has to be to DOMINATE the glass. Jokic has averaged right at 10 rebounds per game for the last 4 seasons, good for 8th in the NBA this season. -

The Nuggets core is young & talented! If they stay together, they have a chance to be special for a long time. Do you think they ready for the challenge of Lebron and the Lakers? We’re calling Lakers in 6 but we’re pulling for the Joker, Murray and the Nuggets. Fun team to watch.

I’ve been struggling to find the right words to post on here since the murder of George Floyd. But to be honest, this should have been a post on this website from its inception. The Read more…

We're in the dog days of basketball season. Don't forget to thank the queens of the coaching world: coach's wives.

In this post, Coach A's wife does an excellent job articulating what it's like to be a basketball coach's wife, and the sacrifices it takes.

If you don't know a play, or where to be in a defense, don't just go into the game and guess. Communicate with your coaches. Ask them to draw it up. They'll be happy to show you. On the other hand, they're not gonna be happy if you go in there & have no idea.
