Welcome to our video on 3 simple but DEADLY post moves. These are three of my favorite post moves and footwork that you can use to get easy buckets in the paint. It doesn't matter how tall or big you are, with these post up moves you should be torching your defender anytime you catch in the paint. As a post up player it's important to keep your moves efficient, no matter if you're playing face up or with your back to the basket and these are awesome for that. There are a bunch of really great moves you can use in the post but these are three of the easiest to do with very little training. Don't be surprised if you see highlights from some of the biggest NBA stars and legends using these moves.
Players like Hakeem Olajuwon and Tim Duncan mad a killing out of the post up and a ton of was all because of their footwork just like this. So master these simple moves and get some easy buckets!
Moves you will learn today:
- Rip Through
- Rip and Cross
- Face Up Fadeaway

In my experiences, a lot of these KZread segments are either tired, too fancy (for kids) or someone trying too hard to reinvent the wheel just so they can call the tip "theirs" - this is one of the best videos I've seen yet. The teaching he offers on the fadeaway is extremely important (release point & follow thru) & will either be overlooked or not known by many basketball tipsters. Well done -- I am refreshed that you have the "feel" of an elite basketball camp. I went to many, many camps from local & regional to Coach Smith's Carolina Basketball School to "invitation only" camps before finally playing in college - I then helped out by coaching at camps / clinics...this video is highly recommended for those wanting more tools in your belt. **NOTE** - these moves ARE NOT for the post players only. These moves are for driving & scoring guards, guards who post up defenders, or people who play in offenses that could receive the ball in these spots (flex, motion, etc.).
No love for Dirk Nowitzki, the originator of the 1-legged fade-away jumper? lol

If you are saying Dirk is not a superstar at his prime u r dumb. Dirk are true and true champion where he did not transfer team to win a championship. Dirk use this move in international events where dirk not called for traveling. so where are your basis? just because i dont agree with you. doesnt mean i lie and cheat. so keep your slander to yourself

Causes of a flat step-back-fade shot: In order to add power and most of your kinetic chain to the floor being literally taken out from under you, people with weaker upper bodies especially will have to cheat more to get the power they need from their shot. These kinetic compromises will get you more power, but lower your arc, and therefore mandate a faster throw (meaning bouncing off the rim will not only happen more often, but the bounces will be higher also). The kinetic compromises to look for are these 1. Shoulders forward: Throwing your shoulders farther forward will give you more power... but at high cost. First of all, this will lower your arc, second it will make your release time longer (therefore you're easier to block). It will lower your release point, and lastly, since you're already stepping back, your shoulders are already staggered... pushing them forward will put uneven pressure on your stroke (since one shoulder presses into your chest, but the other one is basically unobstructive. 2. Head forward: Most people will also naturally keep their head forward. Doing this will not only encourage you moving your shoulders forward (bad for the reasons above) but it will also encourage a bend at the buttocks, knees, and curve of the back (which all take power out of your shot... and encourage cheated form such as shoulders forward) 3. Jumping too high/far on the fade. The harder you jump away from your shot, the more power your stroke has to compensate for... and will therefore encourage poor form. Try getting away with more of a fall-back shot at first where you just lean back until you are about to need to bring back a foot for balance to catch yourself, and that is about the point where you should hop. Fading away is to help keep the defender from swatting you, but you also have to keep the shot reliable. You have to know your limits before you take the shot... and you have to trust your decision. If you have a little space or your defender is on their heels... a little fade goes a long way. If your defender is in your face and you think you have to fade a long way to get the shot off... you should be either using other tactics to gain space or passing to a teammate. So... when learning a step-back-fade shot (similar to a Dirk special) keep these 4 keys in mind in order to ensure a consistent and high arcing shot. 1. Shoulders back 2. head back 3. back straight 4. small hop If this causes your shot to be drastically short, you need to A: get some upper body strength B:only use this shot closer to the basket If this causes your shot to be... just generally off, that's natural. It's a whole new form and it can take some time until you develop the muscle memory.
Thanks this will help in my play in our intramurals tommorow
Sir this videos is awesome.🙂 can we have a video for high jumping for short person like 5"8 or 5"9
I’m 5’11” and 13, this has made me so much better I think my team is going to become champions again this year🎉
Hi coach my name is LJ seems you have a lot of haters attended your videos. I guess the haters are the ones that don't see the point or probably never played. I like your videos they help out a lot and they also help out with your basics or take you back to the basics. So keep put videos out they're helping someone. Can you put out a defensive video like the points to watch for Center Mass is what I was always told the sternum area or whichever hand the Handler is you try to put your face or head on the line of your armpit. And I think a defense of video would be great for today's game. Since no one seen to play it or know how to guard a ball-handler.
Love the one legged fade away bc I'm tall and skinny with a long wing span. This way I don't have to bully my way in and can get an easy unstoppable bucket
I'm 67 and still full court hoopin'....after three hip replacements. Not sure I have it in me for a one-legged fade-away, but I may have enough time against the guys I play with, many of who are younger, some older. Thanks very much!
This has helped me so much thank you god bless you

Good stuff man,headed out the door in a few to try them out
this is footwork for guards in the post. centres ripping the ball are asking for turnovers. centres want to keep the ball out of the hands of little guys. also, the moves seen simple. when you make the move... watch the pivot. traveling is really easily made... as can be seen in this video. dont hop out of the jab, it is quicker and easier. and illegal

These are great for a forward in midpost but if youre a center post up lower and do something like a sky hook or an up and under

Fadeaway gotta be my favorite skill learned 👍🏾
awesome material. coaches do not do enough to develop post work; especially in the offseason.
Thanks for the basketball tips i have been working on a few of them and i'am ready for basketball season. so i am going to subscribe to you for the tips that change how i play. THNX!
Coach, i use to have a perfect stroke when shooting 3s. But now i notice i always end up shooting to high and it ends up in a airball. All the mechanics exactly the same. Im guessing is it just the release point where it screws me up?

2nd one you can use the pivot, rip fake, one hand dribble left and cross over and it's a simple layup from the right or left side, not straight on. It's and easier shot than straight on.
I’m a power forward and. My team is entering the playoffs so I need to be on my a game
This really helped, I am 6’11” and 11 years old and this helped me win the super bowl
Thanks for the video
I used to be a deadly, knock-down, automatic, etc. shooter with deep range. I joined a new team and my coach won't let me shooting except for layups. So I stopped working on my shot. I've been depressed recently as I've been missing jump shots from inside the paint. I can't get my set point down and I lost my palm roatation and my power. Please help me.

Fade away is a good move u can use. If I exixute this properly I can prob do number 2 and instead of laying up I fake and get a nice fadeaway move like that
