Fundamentals of Dribbling

Watch NBA Legend Isiah Thomas go through some of the dribbling basics.

After he mentioned the "play music" part he got so carried away he forgot the point of the video and just put on a show hahah

[sxcrhcp]

Impressive to see Isiah's skill still there after all these years. Sometimes you forget that this guy is a savant of basketball.

I dont play basketball, or sports in general, but I am an animator. This video is so helpful in getting the minute details of the action down. Keeping the body tight, knees bent, keep the energy that you need to spring in whatever direction is necessary. I never realized just how much athletic advice could be used in animation. Thanks for the video :)

He went from teaching us to flexing on us real quick lol

“Isiah started making music with the basketball.. and I took it personal”- Michael Jordan

[ericriley]

One of the greatest PG’s of all time. My personal favorite

[maxwellgamestudio]

When I was a kid I found an old video of Isiah Thomas teaching the fundamentals of basketball just like this one and practicing those moves every day after school, made me a better baller thank you Isiah

He dribbled the ball like it was a drum then went into piano mode.

This is art. Never forget, the Bad Boys have a winning record against Jordan, Magic, and Bird -- regular season and playoffs. That is a bad man. No... Bad Boy.

He may had issues with others in league but irregardless he was one of the greats. 25 point fourth quarter with jacked up ankle. Man is a legend

Coming up in Chicago Street and Organized basketball, "Touch" was one of "Our Own" in the Chicago Basketball Family. We are the Class of 79! No Brother handle the Rock better than Westside Zeke! A True Chicago Legend!!

Step one: you can’t dribble with two hands. ... step two: here’s how I dribble like the Globetrotters

[NikS]

One of the best PGs ever to play. Crazy seeing that level of control at his age.

Isaiah Thomas made me feel back in gym class. Such an Humble Teacher 🙂

[bambudaw]

Isiah doing those dribbling drills is ASMR to my ears.

[gabriel.hongkong]

Like him or hate him, this dude had handles.

[rogerssombe]

When you talk about perfect handles this is the man is the foundation right here. He dribbled the way a jazz pianist plays a solo!! Pure art and beauty!!

[LowManWins]

Zeke always had impeccable handles. This man start playing the bongos with the ball then played it like a piano 🎹 🤣

Isiah: starts talking fundamental dribbling like using your fingertips
Me: *fast forwards 10 seconds*
Isiah: does a Globetrotter routine
