Best NBA players to copy

Hoopers, what NBA player do you try to play like? Personally, I’ve been focusing on Peyton Pritchard and James Harden. Comment yours!

Everyone asks me how to watch film and what to look for.. I think you should find a player that has similar physical characteristics to you. Skills, athleticism, body proportions and height proportions (6’6 in the NBA is like 5’11 for casual).

To learn their moves, put the video in 1/2 speed and watch it over and over. Focus on their footwork, how they sell the fake, where is their arms? Their eyes? Their front or back foot, which foot do they push off of? Learn every nuance.

Hope this helps! Comment any questions.
