How To Beat Your Defender the Easy Way! (4 Simple Tips)

Getting past your defender can be difficult! Throughout this video I share 4 key tips to improve your scoring in isolation. All Hoopers/Basketball players should know these key tips, as they are vital for your 1 on 1 game.

I also provide advice and guidance on When to Iso, as if you are someone who gets subbed out or in trouble with your coach due to not knowing when to Iso, this can be a huge issue.

So by the end of the video, through studying all of James Hardens and Shai Gilgeous-Alexanders Isolation possessions, you will know how to blow by your defender most of the time (no one is perfect.) By studying NBA Film, you can understand how simple the game really is, and invest time into perfecting these concepts on a daily basis.

These tips can be applied to fun games of one on one against your friends! Apply these concepts taken directly from elite NBA Players and cook your friends!

We also discuss the concept of a "go to" move, and use Jordan Poole as an example.

If you want to improve your finishing once you are past your defender, you should check out the recent video I made about layups - "How Small Guards Actually Finish at the Rim."

Your channel is absolute fire. If you start uploading consistently (1 vid a week) you´re gonna blow up for sure. Don´t get discouraged for not getting +5k views with vids like theese (its the minimum it deserves IMO). You have the editing, info and audio on point! Keep it up 🔨

I don’t know why I never thought of creating straight lines, saying “get your foot outside the defender” is so helpful!

If I wanna drive in a straightline but avoid meeting my defenses chest, I have to go around them right? Is that what u mean by driving in a straight line

[Cyphrusss]

what exactly do you mean by getting outside of the defender’s frame? how exactly do you know when you do it and what does it look like
