It’s crazy how slow Bol Bol improves. As someone who watched Bol Bol on the Magic, he’s just bad when he was on the floor. People hating him also need to understand that he was a low second round pick with a ceiling of being a good role player which matches everything he’s shown so far

You're slow to rotate, or you give hip checks since you're slow remaining sliding position, and you wonder why it's a foul?)

That was cool of KD to instruct the youngster!!

Lol, Bol Bol ran into both players, feet moving and bumped them. The last example of applying Durant's teaching Bol still had his right hand on the hip. At his height hands up and out covers more space and may affect the shot, or keeping close enough at his height the chance of a block is high. Can't wait to see this kid develop. He has so much enthusiasm, determination and potential.

@cptfwiffo

3 ай бұрын

Yeah. He ran into both players, drawing fouls *and not understanding what he did wrong*. He may have enthusiasm, determination, and potential, but held back by introspection and intelligence. This is 5 years of professional basketbal and he still doesn't know he needs to slide instead of turn his hips and lose his defensive position.

@DetroitTyler

3 ай бұрын

What he needs to do is learning to contact partially with the hips and not drop his hands below his waist in the paint. They should be ready to explode upwards, as it's much easier to maneuver around an opponents fully extended arms. If he likes to hand one arm lower perhaps he could hover an arm/hand over a players point of release and threaten there while having 1 hand up. Dude looks like a novice out there.

@hakshustletv

@@cptfwiffo The issue was he would initiate contact using his body instead of just going straight up. People love talking about handchecking but that made playing defense easier. It's much tougher to play defense and takes more skill today because you need to rely on footwork, agility, IQ to use your body to send a defender a specific way and also remember to never jump towards or away from your man, always go straight up and only extend your hand towards the offense if you're sure you won't make contact with your body, arm or hand as a result as extending your arm can also alter the position of your body in the air. It's why Tim Duncan is easily the greatest big man defender and arguably the best defender ever.

I love Bol Bol... I remember watching his dad play and it warms my heart to see him I the league.

This video had my full attention. Good vid man. Love seeing KD coach up the kids 😂

Love seeing good teamwork. This is what’s it all about!

Hey Dan. Thats an awesome video you did. Something that not any of us has seen and you did it beautifully. Well done!

It's so good watching players that still want to learn there are quite a few player that wouldn't have listened or just shrug it off

Amazing! Love this attention to detail. Using technology in a great way!!

Yea bol bol literally playing just like Durant now love how it’s loooking to🔥👌🏾

That's dope. leadership

craziest thing about this footage is seeing bol bol showing emotion

This all we wanted for bol 💪🏾

Durant is A KING for that “each 1 teach 1.

People keep talking about hype and all that but it is these defensive iq issues plus his highlight hunting in his first years that had coaches benching him. He needed to resolve both of those, and that takes investment on both the organization and him. Thankfully, the bumping around on teams has tempered his ego for the most part, but that left the iq part, which I feel the nba teams dropped the ball on. Everybody expects a ready made freak nowadays (like a Wemby or Chet) and are too impatient to teach the kid fundamentals. KD is doing just that and I hope Bol continues to soak up all of that advice, even after KD retires.

Great stuff from KD, the what Bol moves on the defensive end shows that his early coaches didn’t instil the fundamentals.

When that man is trying to teach you something that will make you better you listen. 💪

I think it's really cool that they had an iPad with the game open at the ready so kd could show bol bol what he meant more clearly

he has made improvement he didnt show before.....im pulling for him

Kevin Durant reveals that he is a team player and mentor. We need to see more of this in all sports-for that matter, in life itself. PPL, who, like Durant, have nothing to prove-should assume more responsibility for teaching the next generation. That’s where an unquantifiable yet important and indelible legacy that exceeds Hall of Fame status can be left, which his play has undoubtedly confirmed.

You don't take the time to teach that unless you love the game. Leaders that love the game will teach like that. It's such a cool experience. Sports is probably the field where at a certain point it makes more sense to coach your replacement up to get you more rest or one last contract.

Bol should study Wemby's game. Wemby defends really smart, almost baiting his man to shoot by giving them space then just swatting the ball away. With Bol's length and athleticism he can do just that.

Turning up pointers from the right one... Listen up bol bol 💙

0:36 I was waiting for Bol Bol to come down from his jump, but then realized he wasn't even jumping lol. Jesus christ that man tall

This is real leadership.

This is the leader KD needed to be but he was always with super teams that had egos or vets. Put a young guy or two around em and maybe he can be a better leader. Love kd stwpping up and love bol taking critique and implementing what he learned immediately

Yeah bol bol really benefits. Hopefully bol can find a coach that can guide hime well like kd

He's got the body and could be successful like Wembanyama, but he needs the passion and a strong mentorship from a good teacher. Maybe KD can be that person he needs.

I’m pulling for Bol.

🔥

It actually looked like he was telling him to place his hand on his back or simply have it behind so he can be reactive(probably because of his reach advantage) +edit Just saw the end of the video where KD was saying his advice was related to their similar build so that goes to the reach advantage point

Durant's mentorship of young players (including guys from other teams) is what I love most about him. This is what LeBron should have been doing the past few years.

winner like to see other win . KD good job bro $

Easy Money Teacher KD mentoring bol is crazy good! Bol Bol and Taco are my two fav young guns who I want to watch make teams and thrive!

KD is like Martin Lawrence in the movie rebound when he puts icy hot under the teams arms to get them to put their hands up😂

KD is slowly learning how to become a leader

Bol Bol has been looking good lately. I hope the Suns keep him beyond this season
