ABOUT THIS PILLAR
Why ball handling wins games
ABOUT
The handle is your passport. Whether you initiate offense or just need to survive a trap, tight dribbles turn defenders into cones and open up every other skill you own.
HOW TO IMPROVE
- 01Pound the ball hard — the tighter the dribble, the less time the defender has.
- 02Two-ball drills build ambidexterity. Weak hand today, star hand tomorrow.
- 03Chain moves with a purpose: crossover into snatch-back into attack.
- 04Practice in traffic. Cones don't reach for the ball; teammates do.
