Everyone has their own predictions and think they know which team will be crowned the 2015 NBA Champion. The question is, which team do you think has the best odds of winning it all? This was a tough decision for me because Stephen Curry is a good friend of mine, but Lebron James is my favorite NBA player!

This 5 man weave demonstration includes a video and diagram. Emphasis: Focus on hard and crisp chest passing (4-6 passes) Have each passer call their teammate's name Players should keep their spacing so that the weave doesn't get confusing Left hand lay-ups on the left side, right hand lay-ups on the right side (shouldn't miss lay-ups) Players have to sprint and be ready for the pass Keep running the drill continuous and don't let the ball touch the ground (check out the 5 man weave video below) After the pass each player sprints behind two players as the ball is passed up the court [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/4"][vc_empty_space height="15px"][vc_single_image image="9497" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text] 5 Man Weave Diagram [/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/4"][vc_empty_space height="15px"][vc_raw_js]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[/vc_raw_js][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text] Instructions: The ball starts with player 1.

I have had the pleasure to briefly get to know my guest speaker Augie Johnston. We connected online because we have the same passion which is to help players develop their skills on and off the court to fulfill their basketball dreams. Augie has 100s of basketball training videos to help you improve your basketball skills. I'm excited to have Augie tell you guys a little a bit about himself. Hopefully, this information is helpful to those who are serious about becoming a better basketball player. Augie tell us a little bit about yourself (how you fell in love with basketball, where did you play high school, college, overseas, etc.) I grew up in a small town in the Central Coast of California near the beach. I started playing basketball when I was 7 years old and back then I wore Converse All-Stars aka Chucks to play in. They were fire-truck red. I never really knew what my favorite sport was until I was about in the 8th grade. My friends and I were always playing 3-on-3 and stuff like that, but 8th grade I decided to dedicate myself to basketball and that’s when I started “working out.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The rest is pretty much history. I was in the gym on a consistent basis after that and started to work on honing my craft.

How to Improve your Weak Hand in Basketball

If you want to be really good, you need to effectively be able to dribble with both hands. A player makes use of only half of his or her capabilities if he/she feels comfortable using only the strong hand. In order to achieve the best performance and equally good results, it is necessary to strengthen both hands and let them contribute equally to the game. Developing the weak hand to work as efficiently in the game as the strong one will take some time. As a youngster, I was typically one of the fastest players on the court, but I had one problem, I couldn't dribble as effectively with my left hand as I could with my right. I remember when players and coaches started saying make him go left. I got really tired of this limitation and learned how to develop my weak hand. Using the weak hand at game speed can feel a bit strange and uncomfortable in the beginning, but with practice, it can be made as natural as playing with the dominant hand. Here are some very helpful drills that can be used by any player to help them gain a strong control over their weak hand. About half an hour each day is advised to be spent on practicing these drills.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class="add-section" width="7/12"][vc_column_text] Heads-Up Stationary Dribble The player bends down and stands in an athletic position with his head 2 feet above the ground.

How to Change Direction and Speed in Basketball

My advantage was my speed and change of direction (a.k.a COD) in basketball. By being quick and having a sense of deception, I was able to compete with some of the best from an offensive perspective. One thing to note, I know this article is about having speed and the ability to change direction, but if you could only do one or the other, I would saying being deceptive is super important. Being able to change direction effectively will always keep your defenders guessing. Look at Steve Nash and John Stockton, two of my favorite point guards.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Neither were super fast compared to some of the guards that we see today, but that didn't matter when they played. Both could get their shot off when they wanted, get pass their defender, protect their dribble amongst the best defenders, and set their teammates up with an assist. This is because of their basketball IQ and their ability to utilize the speed that they had and change direction. So, let's discuss some drills that will help you become better at enhancing your speed and changing direction in basketball.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class="add-section" width="7/12"][vc_column_text] Importance of Speed Speed plays an important role in almost every sport, but is particularly important in basketball where the transition from defense to offense is completed at a fast rate. The ability to change direction and speed in an explosive way is something that can turn an average basketball player into an even better one, a basketball team whose players are capable of turning and moving in fast movements can have a distinct advantage over their opponents.

I love providing these types of basketball drills because this is what the college players use to perfect their game and become unstoppable from 3. The most important thing that I focus on in any basketball drill that I provide are the fundamentals. This drill is called the "Three Chair" 3 point shooting drill. The purpose of this three point shooting drill is to work on shooting mechanics under pressure. It is important to be able to shoot the basketball quick! Do not sacrifice your quick shooting release without going through your shooting fundamentals. Do You Want a Shooting Workout that will HELP you Become a GREAT Shooter? Yes! I Do My advice is the same here - for young players, I would shoot 2s and not 3s. For older players, I would challenge yourself to shoot 2s and then perform this drill again by shooting 3s. The Wake Forest record is 18 made shots in 1 minute, can you beat that? If you are shooting 2s, try to make 36 in 1 minute. You have to be quick in getting to your spots. If you can't get to 18 or 36, set a goal for yourself and keep working towards that goal. Here is a recap of the 4 week series, Dino Gaudio's Drill Series #1 was "25 in Two" Three Point Shooting Drill. Drill Series #2 was "Sideline Lateral Slides" - Layup Drill and Drill Series #4 was a Three Point Shooting Game. I would love to hear from players who perform this 3 point shooting drill! Let me know…
