Kyrie Irving Teaching Fundamentals

foreign to West Orange High School and beautiful West Orange New Jersey you are now entering into fundamentals with Kai we're going to work on the foundation of how you start in the triple threat this is probably one of the first things I learned in basketball other than the left hand and right hand layup and being able to shoot you're going to start with your left foot Planet base that way we call this pivot we're going to work simply on going in a circle as well as working the angles of the top of the key we're going to work off this foot we're going to hold it make sure you're holding it tight and we're going to just work the jab in each Direction Jeff Rock oh you could add a head pick for the pros the ball placement is just as important as your pivot foot because you have a Defender idealistically right in front of you so you want to have this type of imagination when you're starting to work on your game especially when you're by yourself I'll do a live example so you guys can see it game speed and that's the triple threat and I've watched some players get to isolations different ways when I work out in the summertime I'm working by myself is having this imagination and inviting all of these thoughts of what could possibly happen in the game so we're going to start at the free throw line we're going to catch it we're going to make sure that our shoulders are up our elbows are up and we're protecting it because there are a lot of nifty Defenders that will get in there they'll get their long arms six elevens you know seven feet wingspan six eight and they're just they're active with their hands this is about footwork here so we're gonna turn I'm gonna turn left boom we're gonna jab jab and then we're gonna take one dribble and we're gonna spin we're gonna finish with our left or right hand all right so we're gonna show it live two reps oh oh there's two that's okay the key is that when you're missing shots or you know you're not making shots it's literally momentum and it's the Rhythm basketball is a rhythm so if you don't have the Rhythm your heart your mind moving at the same time some of those things are going to miss so I'm gonna take my time take a breath I'm a jab maybe late in the game I may have to switch it to the left hand to make sure that the layup goes in [Music] like I said this is about footwork it's about being creative with your own body so right now we're going to jump into our pick and roll breakdown and we're going to focus primarily on the sideline which is one of the most effective picking rolls and I'm just going to explain just some of the nuances of kind of what I'm thinking and how you can work on it at home so we have Coach Elijah Carter here as well and we're going to demonstrate [Music] we're going to run into what we call a step up sideline pick and roll and the object of this is for the big to set a wide screen make the defender make a decision to continue to go with Eli to fight over the screen or he or she may go under the screen and meet you on the other side so we're gonna teach it right now boom wait I'm too close to the sideline okay come on E we're gonna come off with some Pace we're gonna make a move a little bit before the step up so we're gonna go between cross we're gonna come off tight and [Music] those are the breakdowns isolation triple threat and pick and roll thanks for partnering with me guys [Music] appreciate you thank you guys
