Five Tool Player – Kobe Bryant

Five tools of a great basketball player:

1. Shoot - Off the dribble, the post, three point range.
2. Pass – Correct pass at the right time, give it to a teammate in a position where they can make a play.
3. Dribble – Handle the basketball, go left, go right, create the shot.
4. Defend – Guard multiple positions.
5. Intangibles – Know the time, read the situations, rise to the occasion, make the right play to win the game.

Dre Baldwin Ball Handling

These two videos make a solid 20 minute ball handling workout. I don’t know much about this player, but most of the drills are standard basketball drills, standard from the time when Pete Maravich taught them to the young players across the country.

Second part of the workout has some drills which I don’t recommend, like the drill when the ball gets bounced by the leg below the knee. The type of exercise implants bad habits. I recommend that players avoid any drill which would be called as violation during game.
