Boost three skills INSTANTLY by playing 3on3 basketball
Kevin Roberts and Coach J discuss three specific skills that players develop when playing three-on-three basketball: perfecting the pick and roll, balancing the floor and creating better spacing, and utilizing off-ball screens. They emphasize the importance of timing and decision-making in executing the pick and roll, and highlight the advantages of running this play in a three-on-three setting. They also stress the significance of floor balance and spacing in creating passing lanes and driving opportunities. Additionally, they mention the effectiveness of off-ball screens in creating space and opening up scoring opportunities. The conversation covered various topics including the importance of spacing in three-on-three basketball, the development of pick-and-roll skills, the benefits of becoming a better team defender, and the recent FIBA 3x3 World Tour. They also discussed the offer made to Caitlin Clark to play in the Big3 league and the NBA playoffs.
