One thing I would like you to do with your series is as with every technique it has its strengths and weaknesses. Having a wide base and angled helps against drop steps and aggressive back downs. What does it make you more susceptible to. Pump fakes, late close out on fadeaways? Great series by the way.
You nailed it, makes you more susceptible to fade-away and Hakeem Post Spin (where he uses his baseline foot as his pivot, inversing the drop step foot work)
How effective would be putting an arm bar or blocking one of his arms. Since posting up is typically a 2 handed play they won’t be able to finish and would be forced to spin around and take a jumper which you would be expecting so you would be ready for that.
Best defensive channel on RUclips
jamanuel dickerson probably the best basketball channel

Does anyone have any extra tips for really small players. I’m only 5 ft 3 and I’m trying to make JV without being a defensive liability
You have to be able to pick up the other point guard full court
Thanks for the help - also do you think the forward stance or upward stance is better for an undersized guard?
Definitely forward, if you contain the ball with upward stance you won’t make an impact on the ball in terms of impacting vision and comfort
Alright thanks for the tips
Bro get a jump rope to make your feet quicker 👍🏽and stay on your toes and move your feet...watch Tony Allen defensive highlights👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Best advice I've seen on defending the bump. Will apply this for drive and bump situations!
Please breakdown Marcus Smart’s defenese
could you define the straight up and down jumping while defending down low. Clean or shooting foul
Excellent
this is amazing
Thank you
Can you do a video on rebound?

I would only be worried about how steep that angle would need to be to take away the arm. Could open up a clear leg-whip for a drop step
I wish I was 6’10” 230 Ibs
yo coach i use the forward stance but when a player is more faster than me he beat me every time can you give me some advice please?
And some people when my feet are wide ,put the ball into my legs
Use the upward stance if you can pressure and just contain and contest pullups
nice
finally!
ah yes defense
