These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it.

Another Basic Rebounding Drill

Playing inside means you’re close to the basket, and it means you’ll be expected to rebound the basketball. Start off on one side of the basket, about halfway to the free throw line. Toss the ball off the backboard and explode up the the ball, snatching it out of the air. Come down strong, on-balance, and turn to make an imaginary outlet pass to your point guard.

Do this drill 10 times from each side of the basket. This drills works on your jumping ability, stamina, and gets you in the habit of coming down on-balance while quickly looking to make the outlet pass to start the fast break.
