Because really I haven’t talked much about defense have I?
Did you notice?
You didn’t?
Do you take pride in your defense?
You should.
But for some reason when you ask a player after the game how many they scored they can give you an answer…
But if you ask how many the guy THEY were defending scored they wouldn’t know.
Lock up.
Hold him to 2 points.
That’s like dropping 30…defensively 😉
And in today’s video I’m going to talk teach you how to play defense and give you some tips you can use to become a better defender.

November 27, 2015Can you make a video or post something on tips to guard and play a mismatch? Because my team sets screens a lot and the league does a lot to, and we usually switch on screens. But I usually let 2 points go when I’m guarding someone small (I’m a big guy) because they’re quicker than me.
