I’ve always been a offensive first player but last season I excelled in defensive so now I’m a 2 way point guard and your drills is exactly what im looking for thanks 👍

[nfchristian]

Defense have always been my weakness. Im feeling like your tips are gonna help me improve it ! :)

[christopherbrown]

Defence is probably my best trait in basketball but this made me even better! I even made the u14 A-team and I’m the point guard I’m done the season cause of coronavirus but I averaged 4 steals and 5 points and 6 assists so thank you very much

[sikkymella]

This helped me a lot. Now I can play defense out of the paint too

[hectorvazquez]

Nice!!! Gonna do the 3rd drill today with my team. They have a bad habit of getting beat and trying to slide to catch up. Now this won't always work but it will definitely be better than sliding the while time. U are not catching him that way

[huddieentertainment]

Awesome!! I will be incorporating these into the workout for kids I coach. Ty keep up the great work 💪🏾

[rashard]

#2 is the Crossover run into the Slide
Which helps with the quick hip turn

The old school way is to swing step which is slower but wont get you crossed up as easily

Biggest tip should be to watch the waist and also beat opponent to the spot
In order to cut them them to change direction

[mraerialhoops]

Wow.wow.wow..i need this..i will start doing

[dsds]

Thank you defense is my strong-suit and I’m trying to improve it

[Blackscreens]

I feel in the second drill if stops and pulls the ball back your ankles will be taken

[danielangulo]

How many reps do u guys recommend we do for these drills?

[Kitt]

Teaching defensive players to cross their feet is a sure fire way to have them end up on someone’s highlight reel

[evetteleonard]

On the 3rd drill...if its a good handler that you are defending...u would already be beat

[shitsherlock]

long as I've been playing basketball the more I love playing defense

[avnidharod]

1. Lateral high o knees
2. Sude shuffle then beech mein crossover your legs then again shuffle
3. Side shuffle, run, side shuffle

[briannalynn]

This my first time doing this drill and I feel it already from doing it 5 minutes straight

[funny]

Cool Video :)
Do you have some tips for getting The Reebound against a taler Defender? Would be nice.

[Jacob-vpzg]

For how long should each drill be done

[tkdamusicman]

Hey I don’t have cones or pylons what can I do to replace that? Or can I do it without them?
