I didn't get how to do an eurostep even after watching it on slowmotion, but then I watched Nick Collison do it the other day and it kinda makes sense now.

I tried a eurostep for the first time ever the other day against a guy who I was obliterating one on one and, although I missed the shot, it felt good and useful. I need to figure that one out. My barrage of "run up to defender at full speed, stop and pop a 16 footer" was too much for him

James The 1st posted:I find the Eurostep pretty hard, because it's goes against jumping off the proper foot (you are supposed to jump of the opposite foot from which hand you use) for a layup. Yeah, I only fake to one side right now, otherwise I get confused.

As a righty, I've been eurostepping for a decade and can only jab right then go left. Well, I'm basically ambidextrous (  ) and should be able to fake both sides, but it just feels "wrong" to finish with the opposite foot and then I end up taking an extra step. It's not really a thing I can do more than once per game yet.Here's both Manu and Wade doing it from the right, that's kinda what I'm aiming for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KA5PUVBm4w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqx7OqmJpL8

cisneros posted:Well, I'm basically ambidextrous ( Heh well, I never really thought about ambidexterity feet-wise. RE: Wade video: He is right handed and his dominant lift off foot is his left like myself and the majority of people. Conversely Manu is left-handed and in his video his first foot, the jab is left, then he finishes off going right. I think faking only to one side is pretty much the norm. I've seen Harden euro both directions ina game and was floored. Are you right handed and take off from the left foot? Boosh! fucked around with this message at May 23, 2013 around 17:39 |

^^^^^^The Wade one, but I usually attack from the left because it's easier and it would be really useful to master the Manu one. Yeah, sounds like it's too high level, this is gonna be like the time I tried to learn "the invention" all over again. cisneros fucked around with this message at May 23, 2013 around 17:48 |

If you're right handed and don't take off on your left foot then you're probably a girl that just learned how to play basketball yesterday

The Invention is kinda like an eurostep, now that I think of it.

The footwork makes a lot more sense when you finish with a reverse or floater and not a layup.

My new office has a basketball court in the building but its 3/4 size. I've never played on a 3/4 court before, I'm excited to be less winded, but I he whoever plays in the office isn't doing 5 on 5 games, that seems crowded and awful. I imagine anything more than 3 v 3 would be a mess.

We don't have a full court at the Y I play at, but we run 4 on 4 and it's perfect for the court size.

It looks like the court is surrounded by sand, so that's on a beach right? It's pretty looking, but the wind must really affect shooters, not to mention having to sweep away sand from the courtt constantly.

I've played on 3/4 before, 3 v 3 or 4 v 4 is perfect. 5 v 5 is too crowded, but when I played there were 12-15 people that would show up so it almost always ended up being 5v5 with guys rotating in/out after each game.

The basketball book I read about a million times to go from zero to "guy good enough to maybe make JV if the coach was feeling nice" in a year stressed righties should go off of their left foot, and lefties off their right. Although this book was pretty old and had a paragraph about why you should only crossover dribble to change direction mid-move, and at other times was a bad play. Which left me with a lot of mixed feelings once Iverson and Marbury started to come up. I've actually started shooting lefthanded off of my leftfoot now in the last year, which is against that book too (other than for things like hooks and turn-arounds, of course). It is technically fundamentally wrong, but I found it dramatically improved the consistency of my shot.
