Basketball Driving Drills: Overcome Defensive Obstacles & Score More
Question
i love basketball i play everyday almost all day long. I'm a really good shooter but my problem is...I'm having problems driving into the basket when someone is guarding me..i seem to get blocked everytime, so now when i play games i just give up and just shoot the ball rather than driving it...any help? or tips?
Answer
Josh you seem to have the same issues as I did when I played basketball. I was just too short against my taller defenders to successfully drive into the basket. I would blocked 90% of the time. So I changed my game and became more of a shooting guard, and more of a defensive player. There are many other aspects to the game other than driving to the basket. Try to develop other parts of your game. Good Luck.
