No one forgot. Only people who don’t like him cause Jordan said don’t like him. Same people probably not liking Pippen now because he has an opinion. Probably not liking Barkley because he gave an opinion. If MJ said he never got swept in the playoffs they’d probably believe it. If MJ said he beat Bird in a playoff series they’d probably believe it. More or less people who most likely can’t think for themselves. Love MJ game, but those people are worse than him conspiring to keep Isiah off the Olympic team (something MJ now says he regrets just as Thomas says he regrets not shaking hands).

@@ryanflynn6819 Pistons in the 80s and early 90s had sometimes 3 allstars on their team at a time.

I dont play basketball, or sports in general, but I am an animator. This video is so helpful in getting the minute details of the action down.

Had the honor to see Zeke put on a basketball clinic at the Magic Johnson Basketball Camp back in the early 80's. The countless dribbling drills he performed were at least 3X faster than this video. To date, I have not seen an NBA point guard exhibit his type of handle without carrying the ball. He was truly amazing. Words truly cannot describe how great his handle was. No disrespect to Chris Paul, Kyrie, or Curry but Zeke was on another level.

@@rustymixer2886 yep, Magic had a nasty push-over-cross. But he got away with carrying because he was “Magic.” After AI, in my opinion, cross overs & hezi morphed into what we see now. To “hang” the ball without sliding your entire hand under the ball is a perishable skill and difficult to execute unless you put in the time and reps. To me (I am biased), Isiah had a pure (within the frame) basketball handle to date.

You can tell a legend from simple stuff like this. A simple dribble will tell you that When I was on freshmen basketball team, my coach never taught me to look straight, I don't even think varsity coach did that. Just simple things like that, that they should have taught. Legends know that well, difference between being pro, and not being one.
When you talk about perfect handles this is the man is the foundation right here. He dribbled the way a jazz pianist plays a solo!! Pure art and beauty!!
I'm just geeking out because it's Isiah Thomas. So cool. I'm too young to have watched him play but I've seen film he's my all time favorite Point Guard. Best in the position imo fills the role to a T
1. One necessary rule to know is to never use two hands or both hands when trying to dribble as it is known as a double dribble. 2. Have a solid and balanced stance with your knees bent and to not stand straight up as it risks your opponent to force you backwards. 3. Keep your eyes up to see the entire court but also slightly seeing the ball. If your eyes are straight ahead you will still be able to see beneath you and looking down will only limit vision of the court. 4. Bounce the basketball repeatedly with one hand on one side and to actively observe what is happening around you. Remain in a triple-threat position where you can take off and move with the basketball. 5. Make sure to have your hand above the basketball and bounce the ball by using your finger tips. Having your hands beneath the ball will result in a carry that is not allowed. Try to switch hands and use dribbling drills to improve dribbling effectiveness overall.
People tend to forget how outstanding Zeke was during his run in the NBA. I’m still scratching my head thinking how Stockton got on the Dream team ahead of IT.
For all you cocksuckers, Isiah had beef with over HALF the team. Attributing his lack of making the Dream Team soley to Jordan is nothing short of disingenuous. Only reason yall think that is because their beef was out in the open. Bird/Isiah Magic/Isiah Scottie/Isiah Malone/Isiah Barkley/Isiah were legitimate beefs
He became an nba villain when he started being a villain. It was his choice. He won 2 rings because of that choice. NOW... IF PEOPLE HATED HIM FOR THAT REMEMBER... IT WAS HIS CHOICE. Isiah and the bad boys pistons were hated because they were dirty players. Think about that for a second. 😎
@@wornoutshoes11 Don't hate the players, hate the game. If they can get away with dirty plays, then blame the league. That's why I don't hate Manu or Lebron back then when they were flopping. It's not their fault the rules didn't prohibit flopping.

There’s no other basketball like a SPALDING basketball 😭 that orange reddish tone the crazy grip they have just make you wanna dribble for hours this was neat thanks Mr Thomas 🐐
Thank you Zeke I can shoot I always wanted to have handles since I was younger I still love the game being older thanks coach Thomas I grew up watching NBA games Pistons, Celtics, Lakers,bulls, rockets, blazers good times in my life watching basketball 🏀 blessings 🙏.
When you hear about all time great NBA point guards, this guy doesn't get brought enough.
Great dribblling technique-lessons ! I still have something more to learn .... ( by the way I am already 58 but it is a great sport ! )
age doesn’t matter. rock solid fundamentals can carry you farther than athleticism ever could
@@chef7423 According to my philosophy of life this applies to all ares of life ! ( I have played basketball from 1978-1981 at highschool with "Buitoni-Haarlem" and my position had been of "guard" since I was small ( 1 mtr 78 ) and fast ( the 80 meters in 13.6 sec, clocked at highschool ).
Man started playing fur elise with those dribbles
1. make sure eyes up
2. ...
3. play Giovanni Bottesini's Concerto for Double Bass No 2 in B Minor only using the ball
One of best ball handler of my era 🔥🏀🏆🎖️🏅
No one told me this was a concert
This went from a dribbling tutorial to an advanced piano lesson real quick
No wonder the Badboy pistons won back to back titles! 👍🏻
April 3rd 2022. The kyrie video dribbling with his fingers makes sense now
The best pure point guard to ever do it.
