ABOUT THE BOOK
What do Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin have in common?
Heres a hint, its not that theyre basketball superstars.
If you said training, then you are absolutely right. They all train hard to be able to play at their level. Those spectacular moves you see them perform at game-time are, quite simply, a product of countless hours of practice, practice, practice.
But you dont have to be a basketball superstar to handle a basketball effectively. As long as you are willing to put in the time to practice, you will learn how to play like a professional. Practice really does make perfect, after all.
One of the most basic, yet intrinsic skills you will need to learn is how to effectively handle a basketball. Because this is a core skill you will need to master, we shall focus our discussion on ball handling.
Why is basketball handling such a crucial skill? Effective ball handling is necessary to get the ball in the right position to shoot or to pass to a teammate. Being able to maneuver the basketball from one player to the another, until it is in the hands of the open man, spells the difference between winning and losing. In fact, basketball handling fulfills such a vital function that the players with the best ball handling skills are valued assets.
