Make yourself unstoppable on offense

We've talked about this a lot, but it bears repeating: the way to become an unstoppable offensive player is to have multiple weapons.

If you're a good shooter, but can't put the ball on the floor, your game is limited. If you can drive to your right, but have no left hand, you're limited.

Work on developing a variety of offensive weapons. The more ways you can put pressure on the defense and score the basketball, the more difficult you'll be to guard.

Mutiple weapons include:
  • A great jump shot (from a variety of spots on the floor)
  • One-dribble moves to both your left and right
  • The dribble-drive to both your left and right
  • The ability to shoot coming off of a screen
  • The ability to shoot off of a dribble and a drive to the basket
  • The ability to use either hand around the basket

Work on being a versatile player and you will be impossible to guard.
