Better Post Play Instructional Basketball DVD Feature

• You're most likely to get the ball in the short corner when a player penetrates and dishes to you, or when you're attacking a zone from behind. And of course there are a number of times when you'll attack from the high post; it may even be a set in your coach's offensive system. The bottom line is that best players can make a play from any position, and that's what Better Basketball will help you become - the best player you can be!
• Chapter 4 contains techniques that all post players must master, movements that you must be able to use instinctively when the defense plays you a specific way. A few examples are the Cheat Step, the Swim, the Reverse Pivot, and the Leg Whip.
• Back to the basket moves are often considered the most traditional form of post play, but scoring with your back to the basket may be the toughest way to put up points because you don't start with any real advantage on your defender. So Coach Torbett explains a number of effective moves and counter moves, and goes into great detail on each of them.
• By the way, the Better Basketball videos are not only great fundamental improvement tools, they're also fun to watch. So we asked some of the best ballers in Atlanta, on Atlanta's premier streetball court, to demonstrate techniques for Better Basketball. And nope, you're not hallucinating, the guys played some zone defense, and they played it well!
• Most of chapter two is geared toward younger players still learning the post game's basic fundamentals. For example, younger players must learn to go up strong and seek contact. They must learn the power shot, and how to shoot with the non-contact arm. They must consistently win both the arm battle and the foot battle not only to get open, but to look open, and then they must be able to hold that seal. Finally, they must be able to receive the ball with either one hand or two hands, chin it, and read the situation.

Complete with a 61-minute bonus section from NBA All-Star Jermaine O'Neal of the Indiana Pacers and WNBA All-Star Tamika Catchings of the Indiana Fever, Better Post Play is the most detailed and comprehensive collection of post techniques ever assembled. In his section alone, Jermaine gives an absolute clinic on playing in the post, going as far as describing his off-season training secrets, how he dominates on the defensive end and the boards, and much more.
