This proves that Svi could not see Jokic at the moment the greatest pass ever thrown in the NBA was made - the question is: Did Jokic KNOW this? I went into the strange defensive concepts the Jazz employed which empowered Jokic to throw it: youtu.be/yHB2OGS04e4

Oh, it's clear the foot he's balancing on does not lose contact with the floor, so it cannot be a hop. And as a result, the rulebook has no prohibition against sliding the non pivot foot

BBALLBREAKDOWN @bballbreakdown.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Leave it to LaMelo Ball to break the NBA rulebook - where his delayed layup, which looked totally illegal, isn't actually covered by the rules at all... making it, dare I say, LEGAL?!?! You've gotta watch the whole breakdown, link: youtu.be/j_6pe2PzSB4

The Hawks are the hottest team in the NBA, and since Trae Young was traded, it's unlocked The Beautiful Game. Their new starting 5 is by far the best in the NBA and I went into detail how NAW is benefitting the most with his new role. youtu.be/e8MVAnaAUKI

Just check the mins played per game for the top Spurs players. Then realize that their OffRtg (117.7) ranks 4th while the starting 5's net rating is 2nd in the league (and will get a lot more minutes together in the playoffs. It's scary, really. Full vid: youtu.be/yzpSUIcRvbg

I broke down the value to guarding Jokic with a guard and why he doesn't handle the physicality well from a psychological standpoint, including the piggy back ride on Keyonte George. This tactic can limit Jokic's overall production, but not his efficiency. FULL video here: youtu.be/FbsYwYMOMt0

BBALLBREAKDOWN @bballbreakdown.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

but what do you say to the fact that the gather step is utilized on half the layups in high school?

BBALLBREAKDOWN @bballbreakdown.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Austin Rivers: "There's that awkward footwork skill right there..." Or more accurately, a travel as NBA players aren't allowed to gather with a foot down and then hop consecutively on that same foot.

That game winner last night was pretty lucky, too. Cannot believe how Illinois defended that

Players w/ no gravity can hurt your offense in subtle ways. Today's vid breaks down the 4 players w/ the worst gravity, based on the NBA's brand new stat.But the coaching staffs have figured out ways to integrate these "perimeter pariahs" into some good stuff as well. full vid: youtu.be/uqZ0cRCKLRQ

Ever notice that Jamal Murray's fingers are NOT in contact with the ball until it gets to chin height? You'll love the breakdown I'm going to release on the 3pt contest coming up today!

BBALLBREAKDOWN @bballbreakdown.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

We got a viral clip of KD yelling at Sengun for not playing defense. So I had to go thru a thousand possessions to figure out whether he deserved getting called out by his teammate and his coach. Full breakdown here: youtu.be/W5xOAE9hOWA

BBALLBREAKDOWN @bballbreakdown.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

To get 35 points in only 25 mins, the defense has to cooperate, as Austin Reaves took full advantage. And with Luka out from a hammy injury, Reaves return couldn't have been better timed, as I broke down how he has to be the primary threat on offense: youtu.be/K2jiqOjUSOU

How will Harden work alongside Donovan Mitchell? I broke it down where they can pull the defense as wide as possible between these two and open up the floor for a Harden pull up. Full video breakdown here: youtu.be/wvpNzGpshXo

If the first screen causes help from the screener's defender, it's likely the shooter comes clean off the second screen And after that second screen, there's probably a good slip opportunity

The Spurs laid out the blueprint for shutting down the Rockets offense - even though Ime Udoka has ways to go against it like we saw in this possession. Full breakdown here: youtu.be/15WEN0Z1VK4

It looked more like chaos to me, and instead of praising the adjustment Mazzulla made, perhaps we should be wondering why he sent Amari Williams on the floor in the 1st place. Link to fill video: youtu.be/cn2HTuF2Pnc

I know you gotta pick Curry up as soon as he walks into the gym, but Kris Dunn took it too literally, as Steph was not even in the game. Guess who he was supposed to be guarding??🤣🏀 At least he gave us a "my bad" at the end

And amazing what you give up when you allow the offense to use it!

Nick Nurse spammed the same play over and over against the Knicks - running it over 15 times in the 2nd half - crazy, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Link to full video youtu.be/-Sk1GfzPELw

So I teach it and it almost always helps. No one else I know even thinks about it. Anyone who does follow the ball does it naturally. But most of the great shooters do it. Testament to the power of the mental aspect of shooting

JJ Redick detonated on his team's defensive issues after the Rockets loss. He has his choice of who to point the finger at, and the list is long as they rank 26th in DefRtg. Would love for u to check out the full breakdown: youtu.be/TRRe54zWTHM
