LeBron James Uses Perfect Technique on All His Drives
{ 115 comments… read them below or add one }
yup
If the defender trys to get in a lower position, im guessin i should just shoot over him?
Yea you can just raise and shoot over him or you can swing the ball over his head and blow past him. Really just depends on the help side defense behind him.
Thanks for the advice. Also when i drive should i be more physical as in driving more side to side( body to body) because sometimes when i drive i dont get to the right spot for the layup so i end up having to shoot a floater falling away
yea just sent you a message
Thanks! Oh and my bad i thought my first message didnt get posted
No problem
good work
thanks!
Thanks for advice!
Sorry not the best player good advice though maybe u should teach LeBron to play the 4th qt lol
Well… I don’t know who is better than him right now.
hey thanks for the advice … can you send me the same message as u sent jaimedavila1 ….. i have the same problem … please reply !!!!
thanks u did a great help for me in my school i can dribble the ball but cant drive after this i can
good tips….thanks
Thanks man, driving was always my problem lol so low shoulders, and be aggressive ? is there more to it
These are some basic fundamentals of driving. Once you develop explosiveness then add the mechanics ( fundamentals ) of driving the ball you will see even more results.
No problem man!
Thats whats up man!
yup!
Im very short. Good shooter. Colleges watch me. I can drive but on occasion i get blocked any way to know when to pump fake or pull back?
I think thats just more of a feel. The more you drive the more you will be able to feel your defenders. If you know you can’t get the shot off go to your pump fake, to draw the foul.P.S. Since you’re a good shooter make sure you use that to your advantage to set up your drives, by giving your defender a pump fake. Only raise the ball when you pump fake stay low and sell the fake with your eyes!
Amazing video!
Thanks bro!
whats your name ? i can look you up i want to see your stats .
was that a travel because i looked like he took more than 3 steps?
I was thinking that too
It’s close man.. he kinda took that extra half step, but we all know how they do in the league..haha!
nice help D by Novak
3 steps isn’t that trave
how do i drive in better? im very fast and i can shoot. when i drive in, i try to go in straight, a majority of the time my defender cuts me off and i have to back out to the top of the key again…. and when i DO get inside the paint i dont know how to finish.
Im a freshman on varsity nd my jumpshot is cash nd my layups are but when i drive i get fouled and never can get the and 1
I really drived to the rim a lot and shot a lot in highschool but it just never plans out for me.. i just feel so nervous and unprepared even though i play outside at least 2-3 hours a day.. what should i do? my jumpshot is different everytime through details any tips on how to plan out a shot like what drills to do alone or how high to jump?
if your jump shot changes its form, work on muscle memory, let’s say: shoot 10 times from the free throw, 10 times from mid, etc. and if you do this every day for a month, you should have developed a good muscle memory for the shot
ill try that thanks man any tips pre game? i always get nervous and when i get the ball i just FRIKN do NOTHING.. i just pass the ball man please help me..
just don’t rage pass or something like that, calm yourself down and pre-game say in your mind that you’re the best on the court and nobody can stop you, just boost your confidence up, use shot fakes, jab steps and stuff like that
yeah ill try that.. thanks but i’ve been sad for a few days kinda lost starting position maybe:/ .. ill just do the little things to boost my game thanks for the help man much appreciated ill tell you when i do good haha i know ima score 20 points
!
Good video, but you should have commented on what Melo could have done to play better D
Imma practice this alot
I wanna penetrate in the basket but i freeze up and cant always finish to the rim throwing up ridiculous shots sometimes, how do i go to the paint and finish like DRose, or RajonR, help me bro .
good video but use a video where the person doesnt travel
look how quick that almost jab fake is right before he takes off.
I have a nice little crossover but I could never get past my defender after I crossed over and this shoulder thing worked pretty well. Thanks!
thanks, the analysis is just what i need
Thanks! Helped out a lot.
There is another thing that LeBron is doing on this move, you can see that just before he is taking the shot, he’s stilling Carmelo’s way and he don’t give him any chance to stop him because now Lebrone is one step before Carmel (this is VERY IMPORTANT move.
helped me alot thank you
Great advice….These are the subtle things you can’t always pick up watching on TV. Somebody asked what Melo could do to guard him better – well, obviously get lower but he’s concerned about L’s jumper. If he Melo start out too low LBJ will just elevate and from that close it’s a pct shot.That’s why good offensive players are just that – they usually have a counter to get off a good shot and make a high pct. And in Lebron’s case he may just as easily hit a cutter with a pass as well.
Bron gives just a hint of a fake to the right before he starts the drive. Melo is a split second slow to react when LBJ starts left because he’s frozen (not that Carmelo is exactly Payton when in front of dribblers in general
).
my left is ear is so happy
i think the nararator is lebron
People are always asking questions about instinct when should i pump fake when pull back?you need instinct
All you guys talking about finishing in the paint all u need is a soft touch stop laying up so hard finger roll
love this video!!! thanks alot….
i’d just pump fake to make them jump then break left or right full speed to the basket. if your getting double teamed don’t even pump fake or try to drive just pass it lol. but in a 1 on one situation i sould pump fake then break leftor right to the basket
how short if u dont mind me asking?
thanks for advice
i for one being very succesful with pumfakes and passfakes but having a poor shot happen to just look to c if there’s a big guy around and if there’s a free lane to the hoop. u have to work on ur reverse and floater if u want to avoid getting stuffed
thanx
8====D~~ LOOK AT MY DICK
i drove to the basket, but got arrested for driving while drunk.
Do any of us play like lebron
Hey brown were not lebron just some freshman tryn to get better
my left ear enjoyed this video
8=====D~~~~
Your dick is smaller than 2 cm
these tips are sick ! thanks bruhh.
How come i always get blocked by smaller people when i drive can you please help
lebron is a beast but he traveled
How do i get to the basket where it’s not a 1 v 1 situation? Usually the paint gets pretty scattered from time to time.
u rock! thanks!
Fuck lebron all Derrick rose
D Rose all the way folks
I don’t want to sound like a hater but, yes, lebron did travel on that play.
Lebron James all the way pepoel don’t hate
i am a power forward, but as i am relatively shorter than other forwards, i feel the need to learn how to drive to the basket. But im slow in the movement, and most of the times my shot gets blocked. what should i do?
If you’re shorter and slower try bumping him instead of going around him to get him off balance
That’s not a walk…it’s called a pro hop..or a hop step……clueless people. I bet you that wouldn’t of been a walk to most of you if it wasn’t lebron…..
Isnt that a travel.. lebron gets away with a lof of those.
my left ear enjoyed that
62777 peoples try this at home….and 62778 (including Lebron) got travelling call
nice tips, ill try it
For a second I thought this was todays game lol
True, but that’s NBA.
do you happen to know what eXe is?
no joke….been workin on this here and there…and it works…..thanks..but KOBE is the best. still. haha
no I don’t knw what this is.
kobe may be a better scorer (maybe) LeBron, overall I think is a better all around player, but this discussion can go on 4ever, it depends what you are basing your rank off of.
lol
my bad son
True. It is just ridiculous to compare LBJ to Kobe at this age….BUT even at his age…you can make the argument that Kobe is better….i love a mature debate though! anyway thanks for the vid!
why?
no he aint lebron is
naaa
defiantly he is the best at getting a driving layup
he travelled
For the idiots saying he traveled;you are allowed to take 3 steps in the NBA. You should know by now that the NBA is not all textbook.
Thus was we u couldn’t take three steps
your wrong, wrong wrong wrong Kwame Brown, my man
Umm ur allowed to take 3 steps duhh he does it all the time learn your facts lol like literally lebron is the best proven facts
Damn can I say yall muthafuckas ride dick mad dick read the facts at most its 2and a half I don’t know how to do a half step gut that’s wat it is fucktards
it looks like a travel in real speed but the slo-mo at 1:00 you can see he basically does a jump stop, so no travel. when he grabs the ball with two hands his right foot is already in motion and about to step down, which counts with the dribble, so his first step is with his left foot then he takes the second step with his right and lays-up. no i am not a heat/lebron fan, i’m a laker fan but most of all a basketball fan in general.
Your commentary and tips were pretty good, but I think it would be better if you used someone other than Lebron in the video, for a couple reasons. Melo isn’t a great defender and he makes it a bit easy for Lebron, not much breaking down of the defense done here. More importantly though, Lebron’s 6’8″ around 250 lbs. Most of us dudes watching this are a lot smaller. I think it would have been more useful to show a solid drive from a small guard instead. Just my two cents, but nice vid.
no matter the size or the level, the technique remains the same.
i bet he missed the free throw lol all the people who think you can take 3 steps must be young, you guys are just use to seeing nba players travel , a old school player will tell you its 1 and a half steps , however somewhere along the line 2 steps became legal ,i dont care what leauge you play in anything over 2 steps is a travel , and technically even 2 steps is a travel
I think he traveled tho check it out again :/
Not a travel. Once LeBron gets hold of the ball with two hands, he then takes two steps, then puts the ball in the hole. That doesn’t break the traveling rule.
the best player on te league. lmfao
Fuck this video
Travellllll
LEBRON JAMES IS THE BEST.HEAT FOR REPEAT
… Idiots don’t know the rules of ball if you think that’s a walk
My left ear loved that.
thanks man helped a lot
But if you get lower wouldn’t it be easier for the defender to block you?
