One like is my prayer for you being in the NBA

[terdsandwich]

Never played in high school. Started to pick it up and played a lot of 3s. But now I'm playing 5s at a new place when I can. And I just get jacked all the time. I can handle most in any 1 on 1 situation cause I'm fast. But when defenders come to help or when I've got a good defender who can lead me INTO the help defense. I just get lost.

Thankyou coach Alex master it really helped me keep the ball, love all you videos!

[AWiz-lxlh]

Thanks Coach Alex. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! With the Rap Jams it Gets Me Fired Up to Ball Someone Up! Been Improving with My Handles Off Your Drills. I Think We Can Use another One On Handles For Sure. It’s the Base Part of the Game But I Feel it’s Most Important. Everyone Should Be Master at Handling Da Rock! I Can’t Imagine What it Would Feel Like to Be In a Tight Game and Have Someone Steal Da Rock and Score the Winning Bucket! Talk About a Downer. One of My Most Vivid Memories of Watching NBA was Watching Jordan the 1ST Year after his Return From Baseball. He’s In the Playoffs and I Believe He’s Playing the Magic and It’s the Last Seconds of the Game. Chicago has the Ball and are Up by One. Jordan is Bringing the Ball from the Back Court but They Strip Him And Score. GAME OVER! A Shock! Being a Huge Jordan Fan I was Pissed. He had that Rust but the Next Year He Came Back and Got the Ship Again!

Open step to attack the baseline, cross step to attack middle. Focus on the basics. Cross step (slower - more protective) perfect to attack middle specially in a man to man no middle penetration.

Thx! This is good! Im on girls varsity, and i need help

[tek]

I could be wrong but isn’t it illegal to use the forearm and/or hand to prevent an opponent from attacking the ball during a dribble or when shooting?

[otoboobokparo]

It’s very great… I’ll use this the next time I go on the court

[helm]

Comment crossover au basket en français

[kierontuliao]

How can I be saved? Why do I need to be saved?
We are all infected with sin (Romans 3:23). We are born with sin (Psalm 51:5), and we all personally choose to sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20; 1 John 1:8). Sin is what makes us unsaved. Sin is what separates us from God. Sin is what has us on the path to eternal destruction.

How can I be saved? Saved from what?
Because of our sin, we all deserve death (Romans 6:23). While the physical consequence of sin is physical death, that is not the only kind of death that results from sin. All sin is ultimately committed against an eternal and infinite God (Psalm 51:4). Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite. What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction (Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:15).

How can I be saved? How did God provide salvation?
Because the just penalty for sin is infinite and eternal, only God could pay the penalty, because only He is infinite and eternal. But God, in His divine nature, could not die. So God became a human being in the person of Jesus Christ. God took on human flesh, lived among us, and taught us. When the people rejected Him and His message, and sought to kill Him, He willingly sacrificed Himself for us, allowing Himself to be crucified (John 10:15). Because Jesus Christ was human, He could die; and because Jesus Christ was God, His death had an eternal and infinite value. Jesus’ death on the cross was the perfect and complete payment for our sin (1 John 2:2). He took the consequences we deserved. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead demonstrated that His death was indeed the perfectly sufficient sacrifice for sin.

How can I be saved? What do I need to do?
“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). God has already done all of the work. All you must do is receive, in faith, the salvation God offers (Ephesians 2:8-9). Fully trust in Jesus alone as the payment for your sins. Believe in Him, and you will not perish (John 3:16). God is offering you salvation as a gift. All you have to do is accept it. Jesus is the way of salvation (John 14:6).
1.REPENT
2. ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR 🧡
