nifty1 posted:Thanks for the pick and roll tips. Sometimes when using picks in the past I think I wasn't getting close enough to the pick setter. Also in my experience most people aren't very good at rolling to the hoop and being open after setting a pick so I usually end up driving/shooting. I think when I start running it with a friend I can pass it off more. I'm going to try it tomorrow when I play. I agree that the Kobe's are really nice basketball shoes. They feel incredibly light weight compared to most basketball shoes and I never had a problem with my ankles in them, if you are like me and have a history of making bad landings. I'd advise you stay away from most Jordan brand shoes (the pro player models excepting) for that reason, as well. They're heavy, and thick soled which gives a sort of walking-on-air feeling. I was out of any sort of exercise for a month when I turned my ankle in them. edit: That probably doesn't seem like a lot of missed time, but it is nearing a year later, and I still have weakness in my right ankle. I definitely think having the right shoes helps to protect against ankle injuries. Ironman fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Mar 16, 2012 |

I agree that 6 inches may be too much to overcome with technique, but what you could try to do is work on your leg strength. I've found that since I started doing heavy back squats about 2 years ago I can move people around pretty easy by backing into them. It's the Barkley school of basketball, son.
