A year ago, I posted a video of my youngest niece attempting to dribble two basketballs on Facebook.. She was unsuccessful.. But that wasn’t the point.. The point was that she tried.. And kept trying.. And kept trying.. And kept trying.. And kept trying… Until on this past Saturday…..check out the video.
There was also a time period when my youngest niece would get so upset because she could not score on an 8 foot goal.. She could not even reach the rim.. So I would tell her to keep shooting.. Once again.. She kept trying.. And kept trying. Soon she was hitting the bottom of the rim… And kept trying.. And kept trying.. And kept trying…Then… My back was turned and they told me she made the shot… I pulled out my phone to get it on video.. She missed 5 shots in a row.. I put my phone up.. She makes 3 shots in a row.. I pull my phone back out… And here you go… (That’s me screaming) My niece had an awesome day on Saturday.
Lesson: It may not work on the first, second, third…………try, but on every try you are getting better and closer to the desired result…
Karl-Anthony Towns (6’11) was the best skilled post player for Kentucky this season. He did his damage on the blocks and in the paint. I never imagined that he could shoot long range. The video below is not a great example of his long range shooting skills but it was the one that I could embed on my site. This video gives you a better visual of just how good he can shoot.
The video below is another example of Big Men that can stretch the defense and score long range. Part of Wisconsin’s 7 footer Frank Kaminisky’s game was knocking down long range shots.
So the point I’m trying to make.
If you are tall and always playing in the post, develop your shooting range. There is nothing more difficult for an opposing post player than having to come out of the paint and defend you on the perimeter. Most can’t do it! Most forwards and centers aren’t taught to defend on the perimeter. So that makes it an advantage for you.
