So I'm here with Nelson Chan from hoop in life Yo, what up and I'm here with our professional basketball trainer friend coach T lamp from 1424 basketball training Yeah, what up? All right. So coach lamp you had actually worked on my jumper. Yes. I do this year Is it safe to say my jumper got better you can attest to this Twice as good as you give me more. Give me ten. So what are we gonna be doing today? I'm gonna walk you through some of these drills NBA players are doing right now I'm gonna show you how to set it up walk you through it and then I'm gonna have Nelson and Andrew compete and show you Guys how it's done. All right, everybody. This is NBA signature moves training edition. Let's go All right. So our first drill that we're doing y'all saw this one from Victor Ola Depot. He's using a chair and cones What is he doing? He's working on a two dribble drag using cones to work his offhand What what is what is working on the offhand do offhands real important when you get real grabby defenders? You got to be able to knock their hands off. So grabbing a cone simulates offhand activation Our hand gets caught underneath or just it just falls asleep We don't and we don't use it because it's not the hand we dribbling with so it just it just hangs out there So activate the arm activate the off arm. Okay. Now you played a lot of ball in your life Have you ever done this drill? Honestly said I have not I Too many people surprised have not either Grabbing that cone is simulating kind of pushing off the defender a little bit using your off arm Activating it and making it useful the two dribble drag when you're doing it You want to imagine that you're pushing somebody right here where the rest can't see? What are some other items that they can use instead of a cone or a chair like let's say they want a cone or a Chair, I mean, maybe maybe you have a chair. Maybe you could use a water bottle as a water bottle water bottle Yeah, I've used my thermal flask all the time a hydro flask I just put it down. It's the exact same thing as a cone. If you can pick it up, it's good You guys do not need to get cones for this. Okay. All right, I'm gonna try to do it as quickly as I can All right Nels recovering from an injury so we'll see how fast he can do Sad to see Nelson like this the great hoop in life. All right, so shout out to Victor Oladipo very improved player I hope he recovers but This offseason. I saw him getting chased down with a foam roller. It looked goofy. What's going on? No foam rollers look crazy for Instagram But the purpose the real purpose is to mimic a seven foot or six ten athlete that us trainers We just six feet tall so we can't mimic those elite athletes. So we got to use the help of a foam roller foam roller. Oh I'm seven feet. Hold up. All right, so if you don't have a foam roller coach, what else can you you gotta find a friend? That's 610. But yeah brooms foam rollers. I got I got pool noodles here anything. All right, you heard it. Let's go Finishing over a 610 guy feels real good right now Not in my house, I know it's Nelson with a foam roller don't play got scared It is so different once you get full length on you So if you've never played against someone with the length, you don't know how to react. So that's the purpose of the foam roller It's intimidating. All right, let me try to make it Nelson go hard at me. All right That's why those trainers don't play no defense that's what I'm saying we don't play defense anymore It's just dummy defense. So the players can get the reeds It's hard. It's hard. Yeah, that's what I do to 610 guys. I'm saying you big man want to come challenge me I challenge them as you step on their foot you push them down and then you finish the layup So this next workout is where CJ McCullum works out with Chris Brickley CJ McCullum is known to have some of the most moves in the NBA He has a lot of combos and he's filthy with the handle. Okay, so with this three balls One ball on one rhythm and he's gonna take the other two and dribble both with one hand like this And he has to keep two different rhythms It works your hand-eye coordination like crazy and it confuses your brain because you have to balance multiple rhythms Once I show them this we're gonna have them compete see who could get the most dribbles in and see who dribbles the longest All right. So let's see the drill. Let's see if you can do it. Yo, that's looks incredibly hard right now They gotta be Make your bet how long do you think I can do it successfully five seconds five maybe four dribbles Gentle touch something I need to work on. Let me try one more time. Let's go Okay, I almost hurt myself on that drill Dog, all right coach. I gotta I gotta ask something when they do these drills How good is the trainer because I think a lot of people think oh this person's training an NBA player They've got to be better than the NBA player or not necessarily NBA skills trainers. They don't have the athleticism as these guys They might have more skill because skill takes a long time to develop Would it kind of be like that old saying where those who can't do teach like these guys can't make it to the NBA? But they can teach the NBA players Now I wouldn't say that it's a different skill to teach versus do some of the greatest players can't teach So Kobe magic Jordan these guys can't teach because they're so good It usually takes somebody that's had to rise up rise up learn all the skills the hard way for them to teach somebody All right, so on this next drill, of course one of the most famous offseason training videos ever We are gonna be copying hoodie mellow Which correction is not currently on an NBA team right now now, so you've done these drills before So I expect you to be able to do it. Okay fair. All right, so walk us through it So these guys are gonna dribble down alternating dribbles They didn't go between their legs one time pass to the corner and I'm giving the ball right back and they're gonna shoot that next One so it's gonna work on two ball dribbling Passing on the move shooting off the dribble and then shooting on the catch How come hoodie mellow is not in the NBA right now? Oh, I think that's NBA politics Let's do the hoodie mellow drill hoodie mellow, let's go So it works on dribbling too and then throwing actually a good pass with the other hand Why is that drill seems so hard or is it not hard It's hard because you've never passed off the dribble with your last hand with speed underhand shovel All things you don't learn that's not fundamental. But in the game you need it This next drill is Alonzo Trier working with Chris Brickley, it's a one dribble explosion to the rim We're gonna see how many Andrew can make in 30 seconds coach lamb I don't know if you knew this though Alonzo Trier is part Asian. Oh Nelly's out of this one Recovering from a hamstring. I'm the rebounder. Okay. All right, so I'm gonna see how many I can make in 30 seconds How many you got how many you think you I'm gonna make in 30 seconds that we got to keep it secret I'm going he can only get like I have some faith in him. I'm gonna say you get 10. I know Andrew a little bit better I know do you guys believe in me or what man? I do I go hard. Hey, and you gotta make up. All right Andrews Very high expectations for you. All right high number of Made layups better complete. We have a lot on the line to win this game. I'm ready. I believe in you That's why I have so high expectations I know you can do this. We're gonna win this game. You gonna hit the shots. You gonna be a star I don't know how many lives you think I'm gonna make But I'm gonna make that many Coach Liam, you're gonna be counting and timing. Yeah, Nelson. You're gonna be rebounding and Passing so we're gonna see how many I can make I don't know what number you guys have in mind for me, but judging by your guys's reactions I'm gonna know whether I hit your number or your number right? Okay, 30 seconds on the clock Ready hey behind the line cheater coaches are sticklers for lines Coaches are sticklers That's a long way for a little Asian Don't tell me the number I'm gonna do one more hold up just as slow as my dog And she's like this big do one more round. You can go a little harder. I think you can do it But you gotta go hard Ready It's hard Actually, I guess I have too much faith in you. I said you're gonna get 10. What did you say? I had Hey, you wanna do it again? You wanna try to get eight? You didn't even get eight attempts up. You got five and he got four. I didn't even get eight attempts though I feel like he's not going fast enough. That's a long way. That's a long way for a 5-7 man I don't know if I could do another one of their finishes video guys Nelly would have smoked him on that easy Nelly would have got 10 a healthy Nelly to hamstring Yeah, not a not a torn hamstring Nelly. All right, let me go one more time since y'all talking Lop-sop you gotta take off From here, so you don't over jump it and you all the way over here. You gotta go Six out of seven six out of seven. He's burning his burning his hamstrings. His calves are probably burning What's the next drill What's the next drill guys? So this next drill is for Ennis Cantor's his putbacks So he's gonna work on you know, getting quick off the ground on the you know, putbacks or rebounds He's gonna tip it twice on the backboard and then on the third one. He's gonna tip it in We're gonna work on your jumping. So your plyometrics, you got to jump up three times real quick You got to have some soft hands and you're doing one-handed because a lot of times when you rebound the other hands being held down And you know since sometimes when I play I end up playing the four or five So that's why this is important five nine. He plays. Hey, I do guard. I do always guard the five All right. Let's see how many attempts it takes to make two. Maybe now it's two for two. Maybe it's two for three two four Okay When you rebound and you you don't want to drop your elbow too far you want to keep it here So you're just doing a short shoulder motion Y'all feel like that was in the final four I Never want to play like and it's cancer. Anyway coach. I quit I quit man say that I don't wanna make this anymore the quit you cannot say the q-word. I believe in you That's why I have so high expectations. I know you can do this. Why is it so hard coach? It's so hard cuz one you out of shape. Okay, but two you got to have a lot of bounce coach He's straight straight for he's not left-handed. He doesn't work on his left hand Was a little tough, but it's alright that identifies his weakness. So that's where we know where we can work on Yeah, that's a very solid advice a very solid play All right This last drill that we got was a really viral one of the USA team doing a one-on-one Two dribble rollout. Okay for this USA one-on-one drill We're gonna have them start at the elbow and just basically play one-on-one. The only limitation is two dribbles max So we use two dribbles because usually on the first dribble That's when coaches send double teams. Normally when a guy catches it, he has a live dribble So you don't know when to send the double team. So when he goes to make a move, that's when you send the double team Oh They want you to score within two dribbles or less before a double team come, right? If you take it to dribbles by the time you take a second dribble, you're gonna get a help side You're gonna get rotation. You're gonna get guys sagging in so you got to be efficient and quick with your two dribbles Usually it's only one Me and Nelson gonna play some one-on-one USA team style All right, everybody so in the comments below Let me know if you guys learned a lot and also let me know what other moves or training drills You would like us to explain in a next episode of NBA signature moves because to be honest I learned a lot from this too.

How can you tell and should you imitate them all if you're watching Instagram for for training videos?
