This is a challenging basketball dribbling drill because you have to concentrate on doing two different things simultaneously. With one hand, you are dribbling the basketball regularly, but with the other, you are using a wrap-around motion to go around your leg. Basketball drills like this are really good for working on a player’s hands, and also their hand-eye coordination.
The goal of two ball basketball dribbling drills is to maximize time by working on both hands simultaneously and making the drill harder than it would be with only one basketball. The idea behind it is that if the player can do a move with two basketballs in practice, then it should be a lot easier for them to do the same move with only one basketball in a game situation.
