THROWBACK!!!!!
The first time I saw these sneakers, I was in 10th grade reading a Slam Magazine during lunch, fell in love with them then and I still love ‘em. Who would have known six years later I would be an online writer at large for bouncemag.com? Now if only I can find a pair on Ebay.
Throughout August, The Jim Couch Foundation sponsored workouts at Fordham University for boys and girls of all ages. Even though the workouts are technically free, the participants paid in sweat and hard work. The summer may be typically reserved for tournaments but it’s also a chance for players to refine skills they have and work on the ones they don’t. Instruction from experienced NYC ballplayers, including NBA Top 50 Greatest Player Nate “Tiny” Archibald, was just too valuable to pass up for a ton of players. Archibald said that he saw a lot of potential at the workouts and that a main reason he wanted to be apart of it was to give back and help the next generation learn.

Times ago, at a place where time met pure ball, I had a chance to talk to Ben Gordon. Ben was a rising pro, recently out of Mount Vernon and headed to UCONN to build his game and rep. He came around my projects – Dyckman Houses – after a workout with Dyckman Coach, Evander Ford. In front of the building where I lived, we got to talking about creating space on the chop and the step back move. Read More »
Inside Hand Exchange a.k.a. “In-and-out-dribble”
So your on your School, CYO, YMCA, or Winter Community League team and your coach screams at you to “take em.” You approach your player on the dribble, on the run. What are you going to do? The move above is a front-step inside hand exchange. It is used to create space and get to the backboard off the move or on the crossover to lay a defender off the glass, steel, or perforated metal. The cones are there to make the move quick and effective. Let’s break it down and go through the steps and don’t miss the move demonstrated by D.Rose at the end. Read More »
