Ballhandling(basketballs not testicals)

Anyone know of any good drills to improve my ballhandlind skills?

 

I heard two-balls drills work well.... if you have two balls.

 

Dribble between your legs or someone else's until you get a fluid motion.

 

I just dribble between my legs and zig zag threw pylons. And I also dribble with a tennis ball.

Always take your basketball with you, Dribble with your left hand one day, Then your right the next.

 

Anything else? I can dribble alright with both hands but I really can't do much else except for a crossover that only fakes out 5th graders.

 

i just practice dribble-drives. it's useless to just practice fancy dribbling if you're not going to be able to utilize it. i practice hard dribbles with both hands, but i still need to work on my right hand.

AI took Tim hardaway's "killer crossover" and made his own. Practice figure 8's through your legs. Practice really low and wide dribble's and when your sitting on a chair put your knee's together and bounce under your legs and back.Basically What Balla said is right but not always practical to have your bball with you.

Whenever I'm in the neighborhood you'll most likely catch me with a basketball. I heard Steve Nash dribbled tenis balls and that helped him out a lot.

 

Just always dribble a ball, dribbling with a tennis ball also helps.

 

Hmm, I can dribble well with both hands. I'm trying to get moves to get around someone so I'll add this....Any post moves I can practice? All I have is the fake one way and go the other move and that works about once.

 

There's this one drill I used to do alot where you you hold the ball between your legs and push it up while it's under your legs(dont hit your balls tho ) While the ball is moving up you move you hands to the opposite side,so you basically switch sides with your hands. This drill gives you quickness and stability with the ball. If you don't understand it then sorry because it's not easy to explain. I got it along with many other drills off the Better Basket Ball Video which I downloaded...

There's an obnoxious 10 year old in my neighborhood...

Obviously, if I were to play in the NBA, I'd be called for traveling and carrying violations, though.

I remember in 8th grade I could barely dribble between my legs.. now I'm in 10th grade and I was having fun last summer tryna break ppls ankles... dammnnn there was this memorable moment that this noob was guarding me.. I almost broke his ankles 2 times in one possession.. too bad I didnt go for another jab or he would have fallen down lol.. his feet were all like... undescribable.. I was like this -> :HAHAHA: well.. if u have a ball... and sit down... dribble the ball under your legs.. dat helps kinda.. den just like do basic handling drills... running back and forth... switching hands... and eventually start dribbling between your legs... pretty simple stuff<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ASUFan22 @ Oct 2 2006, 09:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Hmm, I can dribble well with both hands.

I'm not a very fast guy so I have problems with getting around people.. even though I have pretty nice handles.. I do a lot of random crossovers.. and they usually work.. I'd just dribble one way.. and very quickly dribble the other way... ball behind the back... legs... just wutever... I just do a lot of fakes..and in the post.. the only move I really have is that fake one way thing....<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ArizonaFan @ Sep 2 2006, 10:33 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Anything else?
