For this basketball dribbling drill, you are trying to simulate going from a stationary dribble to breaking down your defender and going by him/her. The stationary dribble between each move should be slower, and then the move as fast as you can.
Basketball is all about quickness and change of speed, and this is a great stationary basketball dribbling drill to work on that skill. This is also a great basketball drill for working on quick hands and overall ball handling. It is great to do on your own, with a team, or in a camp setting because it doesn’t require very much room to do.
