  1. Never look at the ball.  =)


  2. footspeed my be an issue. You need to stay low with your butt our and slide your feet from side to side. Stay wide and low to the ground. Always keep your arms extended and palms up. If your opponent exposes the ball, reach and slap upward to knock it away. The thing to remember though, is always keep yourself in between your opponent and the basket.

  3. constantly move ur feet.  

  4. Learn from Bruce Bowen on how to play Defense.Watch this link

    Hope this helps.

  5. You always have to stay in between your opponent and the hoop.  Be aggressive but not so he can fake shooting and drive to the hoop.  Be careful of other fakes, contest shots, and always stay in front of him.  Be quick.

  6. bend those knees keep your back straight and get those hands up.

  7. okay, from the top

    HEAD and HANDS up!!

    TORSO straight up bent at the waist!

    FEET moving!!

    WATCH the beltline (he's not going ANYWHERE without his TORSO!) -lol

  8. yea do all u can to stop them from making a basket
