The ending was WILD 🚀 it’s honestly crazy to watch the level of talent and athleticism these young men have. Everyone one can dunk, shoot, and handle, we’ve truly raised the athletic bar in hoops and it’s so fun to watch the evolution happen in real time

🦊⚠️ SEPT 4th ⚠️🦊 was super stoked to try these out and they absolutely delivered, especially as someone who plays more laterally and prefers great lockdown, traction, and support. Follow for a closer look at the shoes and tech, but who’s winning the Under Armour Basketball City Classic?

The duality of man fr. Which play makes you wanna leave the court?

🚀 you don’t need a gym to put on these inches! Part of the reason I like utilizing these three basic movements is you’re targeting three different pieces of your jump AND they can all be done at home with something as simple as a chair, bench or steps. Becoming a better dunker can be simple! But it requires the effort and consistency!

Screenshot the chart at the end! Most people, let alone hoopers, have never even trained to jump high, which is why there’s so much perception that you need to be tall or naturally gifted. While those things help, you absolutely can make massive strides to improve your vert. Let me know what your standing reach is and how high you need to jump to dunk below ⬇️

Watch the Spin on that first pass 👀 bro put some English on it to thread the needle. With so many isolation highlights on social media, this was one of the most fun I’ve had in a pickup game in a LONG time. It’s a perfect example of how ball movement and court vision can be deadly if you can get your team to make the right cuts and finish their plays.

More strength = more force to push yourself off the ground with! Now obviously this is only half the equation, because we need to apply the strength quickly, but I love trap bar deads for helping me raise my strength ceiling so I can apply it. Especially after a few months of inconsistency, I’m trying to get back to a regular schedule of lifting, jumping and want to make more content back to tracking my progress.

The craziest ending I’ve ever been a part of! Truly down to the last second. A brutal way to finish out but I’m super proud of the team - we battled our way through the playoffs and almost knocked off a great team, even on our 3rd game of the night. Definitely need to run it back again.

SEMIFINALS GOT HEATED 🔥 with the tournament all being held in one day, we had to dig deep after game one, but this game was smooth and fluid. We walked in as underdogs due to our regular season performance, but ready to make a statement as the fifth seed team.

Different Plyos offer different benefits! I’m a fan of all 3 of these, but I know I can handle more pogos, I want to prioritize speed, and use depth jumps as main driver for my more intensive work. That means I’ve done less seated jumps lately, but understanding what each does gives you the options to cater each to your goals!
