Moving Without the Ball with Rip Hamilton
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
Becoming a dominating shooter in basketball has more to do with getting yourself in the right position for the shot than with mechanics of shooting, or the quality of your form. This is not to say that form is not important, or that you don’t need a quick draw, this is to say that if you can’t get open your form doesn’t matter - you will simply never have a chance to shoot.
Who’s the best to teach you the skill of moving without the ball? Nobody, in today’s game, does it better than Rip Hamilton. Watch the video, do the drills he recommends, but even more importantly, watch Rip during the game and you will realize that his running never stops, well, until he gets the ball and makes the shot.
