I remember learning some of these traits back in high school, back in 2000 when Iverson was blowing up, it was the first time anyone had seen someone dribble the ball from outside what we all called "the box". We were always taught to keep the ball close so we could get to our shots or draw fouls easier. Our coach hated Allen Iverson's game lol Real old school guy, but can't complain when you're averaging 30ppg on crossover setups lol. It's really fun watching the NBA players take what was established in the past and made it more personalised within this current system. The way people are guarding these days allows for more ballhandling opportunities.

This channel is really evolving, I look forward to every video

loose handles are so much fun one thing i like about Durant is his handles

In my experience, great ball handlers use all 7 for specific situation Loose ball handler- good for when you are trying to get a shot off in iso he backs up shoot, he moves up take it to the rim. loose ball handling also give great rhythm for your shot. You really have to get your defender really out of position for it to work otherwise they usually recover fast which is why i prefer to pull up when using loose handles Tight ball handler- good for when your trying to get a quick bucket or trying to draw in the defense and make a quick pass for an assist. You can also use this type of dribble to make double or triple moves. I also like to use a tight cross over when the defender attempts to steal alot Shifty ball handler- good for lulling defenders to sleep( great for one on ones) . These moves are nice when the defender plays solid defense on you( not too much or too little space) because even the slightest movement out of position or freeze and you have them beat and its also good for beating the help defenders for a sneaky finish. Most elite gaurds use this style of ballhandling in the paint to get off lay ups advanced momentum- good for when you sense the defender is off balance aka in transition, or if a help defender is coming up to close out. These moves are really hard to pull off simply because most players dont have a respectable shot. If you do have a good shot hit a couple shots in the game before utilizing these tactics. Also great to utilize these movements with head fakes deceptive- honestly this isnt really its own style its just something to add to the other styles. This style goes best with the advanced momentum but also pretty well with shift. Its all about mastering your eyes. Nice to use when pass faking, pretending to use screens. The general principle with this is you want your defending thinking you'll do the expected. It takes high iq to not rush opportunities Defensive- good for setting up plays and slowing down the pace of the game. If your always gunning youll just waste energy and make sloppy plays. This style allows you to make good plays, see open lanes, mismatches, cuts. It also forces the defense to gaurd you longer meaning more chance for them to get lazy and mess up.

@XXSynapticneuronXX

deliberate ballhandling isnt really its own style either, its just saying read and react, this requires iq, good instincts and quick decision making, If you feel like all your moves get shut down or cut off it means your not paying attention to your defender.

Chris Legaspi . He's not saying someone is all 7, but he's saying the greats use some of each depending on the situation they're in. Allen Iverson was known for his loose handle but he does have highlights of a tight handle. If you watch Kyrie Irving if he is pulling up off the dribble he will use hang dribbles to get his jumper, a hesitation or different variation of loose handle. On a drive when you are blowing by defenders you will want to use the tight handle, use deceptive ball handling for situations such as the pick and roll which makes Chris Paul and Steve Nash so great. They know how to use their eyes. Different situations call for different types of moves. It's all basketball IQ. When I play at my high school I'm usually the type that goes downhill reads my defender's positioning, the type of defense the opposing team is playing and my floor spacing then I choose the most efficient way to get my team a bucket.

Oh and quick tip: The best move ever is the inside out crossover or killer crossover. I gets the defender Everytime and its quick/easy

King Crawford You should start with your right hand and dribble between your legs but when it hits your left hand bounce it back. Basically like an inverted in between the legs. So right in between to the left but make it quick like a hesitation and proceed going right. Its a gamble move because the ball can be stripped but i think it will get your defender off guard especially if your coming down court execute then drive.

This idea is straight fire. Not only in basketball terms but also as a KZread Creator. It's crazy to see the shift with how slowly this channel has developed its content and then a huge change like this, with helping ball-handlers describing each style in detail and helping by making a broad generalization that actually works and even explaining how players can mesh them together. All I can say is congrats man. Waiting for the shifty ball-handler blog/video, especially with James Harden and how he utilizes his shiftiness with his hang dribble size ups and its variations. And damn the tunes.

As a student of the game, this channel provides so much detail than I could've ever imagine.

wow man this video is actually fantastic. you really broke this down to a science. you remind me of like a devin williams from 10000 hours, just instead of talking you have that trade mark text.

Kyrie has always been a true point guard. if you watched him before lebron he was running the offense and getting assists. when lebron cam he had to adjust to lebrons point forward playstyle and became more of a score first guard
