A lot of you have confused smooth and fluid movement patterns with smooth change of speeds, which is my fault for not being more clear. Fluid movement and smooth changes in speed are two different things. No one is saying that you shouldn’t move with fluidity. A lot of times when you say a player is “smooth” (ex. PG13, Kyrie, Luka, etc) we are talking abt their ability to move and adjust, not purely their change of speeds. A smooth change of speeds indicates a gradual ramp up and ramp down in speed which is easy to guard because there are no sudden extreme movements and everything is gradual. Which is what I was getting at.
Fire learning tool. Thank you for posting 🙏
I can’t be more thankful for this break down this might have just transformed my game to a whole new level
Tysm bro this is litterly the only video u need to get shifty
Beautifully articulated, most good-elite ball handlers do these things intuitively. It's all about finding that rhythm to catch that first man off guard and actually preparing your body to take these loads, or it just won't let you move how you're envisioning it at best and lead to injuries at worst.
Excellent breakdown.
I learned so much and I’m able to create moves in my head 🤯
Bro this vid explains how i play basketball. I have not been playing like 2 months i almost barely lost my skill but i forgot this tut is transliterating on how i play. Glad to find this channel
By far the example video ive ever seen. I love the flow and the variety of examples instead of spending 10 minutes on the same 3 examples
Love it really helped thanks 🙏
Tyson Walker is such a good example of pacing mechanics, dude is a bucket
What team he play on
And what does he average I need more locks for my tickets 😂
Michigan State
Super underrated video🔥🔥🔥
This video is simply brilliant
Ive never been a baller but i think ive progressed very quickly in short span. Something ive been working on taking from my past on trackfield is moving your legs from your hip flexors(high knees). Pick up your entire leg and make it 90* even when walking(bend your chest down). This lets you move fast whenever you want and also your defender doesnt know which leg pickup will be the one you go into your stride. Its also easier to stop imo. Use when you want, chnage it up, keep them guessing.
I always use this, it is very effective. This is the best way to ankle break an opponent a sudden shift and change of speed.
Idk who tf you are, idk what is the probability of me fouding this video, this comment and at this timing of my life but remember that you maybe changed mine a this moment ❤ thx god for sending you to people like us ❤❤❤❤
These are some high level stuff. True hoopers need to watch this vid and practice
Awesome. Music is on point too!!
Tip: Practice dribbling the ball and stopping at a certain point of your dribble you have to use all the dribble's in your bag and figure out how you can hesitate with it, remember KZhead does not have every single dribble move you could have a signature dribble move but you can't figure out how to hesitate with it just because your only watching KZhead. It's good to watch KZhead to figure out the basics and dribbling technique's if you want something new in your bag, you can apply that move with a hesitation/stop. (You can figure out what I'm saying if you read the half of this comment).
This vid is great with explaining you just earned a subscriber
Great vid thank you
Very helpful vid thanks
Great vid 💯
wonderful video bro... first thing first ... watch this vid many times and try to practice mentally then go to court ..
High quality stuff🎉
This is my 11th time watching this!!, U deserve a sub...
this is a great video.
Underrated coach
Man i'm so glad i found this channel tysm. Do you have any idea how to work on these ? Particularly stops and starts like how to really accelerate fast, have a good form yk...
I’m glad it helped. In general, when working on these tools I would say to just rep them out without a defender then start testing them in low stakes situations (at the gym, practice, with friends, etc). This way you can get a feel for when to use them and which ones you like. Stopping and starting is the one skill that I would say is important to work on off the court. Even if you just go into a feild without a ball… working on getting into positive shin angles then decelerating as quickly as possible, then repping that out can be helpful. I would also do this laterally by sliding, then laterally by sprinting but keeping your torso facing forwards. Doing this will build the movement patterns needed to be really good at starting and stopping. I don’t know if that makes sense over text or not but some good trainers to watch would be PJFPerformance, Les Spellman, and Overtime Athletes.
@@BBallFilmZone Thanks !!!
This video came out at the right time thank you
Need video essay's like this for soccer
Great video!
Just subbed thx my boy
Nice video!!

Videos like this are what constantly remind that AI was simply the best ball handler in the game. And contrary to the thumbnail of this video, he was VERY SMOOTH. Because all these techniques mentioned here, were automatic, second nature, muscle memory. He didn't have to consciously think or even practice this kind of stuff, you grow up playing as the small guy it just comes to you naturally and it never goes away. That's why he had more time to focus his mind on finding space until that became second nature too and the fact the played football too was a huge help in that department. All of these tools are useless if you don't have vision because at the end of the day, its not a 1v1 sport and you can beat your defender 10/10 times but if you're not smooth and fluid with your movement on the court or thinking 2,3 steps ahead you're gonna run into other defenders who will take advantage of your momentum and either body you , or force a recycle. AI was able to dance around the entire defense because he was smooth. He was able to utilize all these techniques but in a way that allowed him to stay fluid and make adjustments on the fly. Maybe im biased because hes my personal GOAT but i think if he played in his prime in todays NBA he would be scoring a lot more. I know it wasn't THAT long ago when he played but trust me, the difference in what qualified as a foul back then and now is so much bigger and he was so hard to stop the guy played through broken ribs, fingers, twisted ankles , bruised all over and still dropped 40 points. He had HEART like very few others that blessed us with their presence in the league.
One player who certainly defines smooth is SGK. I think he uses his length to play at his speed. He's not lightning fast but man is he crafty.
Pace and changes of speed is 🔑
this video helped me a lot, i’m glad i found this channel !! who’s number 2 in the college clips like the one at 3:45?
Thank You. I’m glad it helped. #2 is Demetre Roberts. He went to FDU and was part of the team that upset Purdue last year in March Madness.
Always told my guards to play herky jerky. That even constant little twitching keeps your defender on edge not only physically but mentally. It's unpredictable and intimidating and have seen many times the defender pretty much give up on drives.

Yeah run the likes up for bro 🔥

Hey Film Zone?, is there any tips i could improve my confidence?, everytime i have the ball in my hands i keep passing and panicking its like in pressured.
1. Improving your skill and consistently working on it will improve your confidence to an extent. If you can’t execute skills with no defender you can’t do them with a defender. 2. Play 1v1 and 1v2 games that put you in the situations you don’t feel confident in. This way you can play in those situations without the pressure of a real game with lots of ppl. For example… if you get panicky when you catch the ball on the wing with a tight defender, then play one on one with your friend from the wing and tell them they’re allowed to play tight to you and foul you. Another example…let’s say you’re not confident bringing the ball up the court vs pressure. Work on bringing the ball up against two of your friends who are trying to get the ball from you. 3. The third thing I can tell you is to just not be afraid to mess up. The greatest players still airball, turn the ball over, etc, they just don’t let it affect them more after it happens. Hope this helps.
Those Chris lykes Clips are something
All those plays looked smooth to me
Smooth movement quality. Not smooth speed changes.
Could you use the micro stop in defence? Fake like you give up?
I would definitely not recommend that. Any good player will be able to take advantage of it.
is this fine even if I am 25 years old 5'4 half learning this for the first time, am I too late for learning this now? I enjoyed a game of basketball and now I'm hooked
You can definitely still learn it. It’ll just be harder than it would be if you were a kid.
@@BBallFilmZone Thanks dude
I find the best way is to be smooth and then at random become sharp because it puts lots of guys on their heels
Is it possible you could give me some advice on how to break a box and 1?
Explain to me more about the situation. Are you a coach? Are you the one being played man on in the box and 1? What level are we talking about?
yes im the one being played man on highschool men’s basketball
@@kylebateIt’s ultimately up to your coach how you all try to approach that, so I’m limited in what I can tell you to do specifically. But if I was your coach I would probably try a few things. One thing you can do is try running some type of horns play against the top two zone guys so you can run off either way and get into gaps. May cause confusion with your defender and the two top defenders. I may also try having you run the baseline to try to turn it into more of a 2-3. I would also try running flare screens for you to try to cause confusion and get more open looks. You can also try screening the zone players when your teammates have the ball then sealing off that zone player and either cutting or popping out. Good luck with that. Hopefully your coach knows what he’s doing lol.
Thank you this was very helpful
Fast, slow & go 💪🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🤣🤣🤣
One thing you aren’t acknowledging is the ability to set up the defender to come forward and then attack the defender while they’re taking a step forward to lock them in time as you blow right past them. Easy displacement wins. Upon hearing you say smooth in the opening of the video, my initial thought was, “yeah that’s too predictable” you got that right. Kudos Basketball is just chess, so simplify it. 4d chess that is
oh Nice Tip Let me kset my FPS Cap at 1
Yeah that’s an interesting way of putting it.
If your defender knows what's coming, then the reaction time becomes irrelevant. Unfortunately, everyone has patterns. Just ask Tony Allen.
Tony Allen will even tell you he's gotten cooked plenty of times thinking he knew their next move.
in basketball this concept is known as 'breaking your rhythm'
What’s the song called
Linked at very bottom of description.
RIP to those Achilles that will rip while practicing this technique 😂
Great vid but I find it really hard to see the timing of the dribbles when the vid is in slow mo
Thank you for the feedback. I will make sure to use less slow motion next time so people can see the real speed. The only reason for the slow motion is to emphasize a point that I’m trying to make, other than that I will keep it all real speed.
"smooth" means control
Smooth means controlled when discussing movement quality, but I’m not discussing movement quality. I’m referring to the way you change the velocity of your movement, and I argue that a sudden and drastic change in speed is usually more effective than a gradual one. But you are correct, being smooth can be a sign of being under control. Many ways to interpret.
“Smoothness = predictability” *shows Paul George highlights*
Read pinned comment
Bro loves Trae young😂
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast 🤨
Smooth doesn’t mean slow smarty pants
that’s right
Kyrie one of the smoothest ever no matter how jerky he is.
You’re confusing having smooth movement with having smooth change of speeds. No one is arguing that your movements shouldn’t be sound and smooth. The point is that EXTREME AND RANDOM speed changes are more difficult to guard than someone who doesn’t have any extreme speed change. “Extreme and random” I would say is the opposite of smooth, that’s why I used that word. If you can find a better one I would love to hear it. Calling out being smooth as a bad thing is also provocative and gets the people going. Like it’s gotten you going. Increasing the engagement on the video so that more people will see it.
Too much explanation, unnecessary.
The thing is the other guy is running backwards. The first guy is easy, but there is the next guy.
I watched this at .25x slow motion.
Every nba watched the same dribble trial cuz they all do the same thing
Paul George says no
I don't agree with the "dont be smooth" rhetoric and video thinks that means to a hooper forreal.......however this is an excellent video A- . *Saved in personal folder
On a contrary..... Luka is smooth and more accurate and more unstopable""
Kyrie is literally one of the smoothest handlers in the league. You should've used Westbrook for change of pace
No Kyrie is both
Don't care about how it looks, you shouldn't care if it's ugly or smooth.
Lebron mad as hell he not in this video

how come there aren't any examples of SGA in this video? Isn't he really the best in the league now?
Yeah I should’ve. I’ll make him his own video. I also have a driving angles video up next that he’ll definitely be in.
Okay you know way too much ik you’re nice at hoop or you were at some point 😂
smooth is predictable? yes luka is so predictable dropping 50
Most kids wont understand this today. They can’t even dribble. No joke
Lmao People who know how to hoop naturally do this without even noticing they do it. I literally do all of this without even thinking about it. These moves are all pretty effective. And then it's obvious when you see non hoopers trying to pull of moves they saw in a video like this. The key to be effective at any of this is to actually be fast to start with and then have great to extradinary ball handling skills to boot. You about to set up certain individuals for straight failure and turnovers lol. I've seen to many people iso and think they got it....when they don't have a damn thing, just dribbling in circles and faking themselves out lol
This comment was a failure
@@Brandon2444 bc?
this is simply not true. look at paul george, luka doncic , sga, dlo, for example. they not necessarily quick and can change in a drop of a dime but nobody can still seem to stop them. what im trying to say is play at your pace. dont let anyone try to make you play unnatural. play as natural as it feels
This is true look at the players you talked about using the same techniques in the video. Even though they aren’t the fastest they still can play from slow to slower to fast enough to blow by or pull up or step back which throws the defense of
I agree with that. A lot of those players you named (any player that plays slower) use physicality instead of quickness to get their advantage. Being physical lets them play at their own pace and not rely on quickness. Also, like the guy above me pointed out, most of these guys are able to play just fast enough to get to where they need to be and it’s the rapid change that makes them hard to defend. These tools rely purely on changing speeds. No physicality.
@@BBallFilmZone 🙏🏾
This is not it . ....... 1:46 Feel smooth within your own body . To the point it catches other people off guard. Thats the real goal .
westbrick only got one gear. the moment playoffs comes and people account for his speed defensively. that's it, westbrick got no moves or jumpshot
