During the Brooklyn Nets - Milwaukee Bucks game 2 Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup, Kevin Durant (KD) put on a nasty sequence vs Giannis - a triple hesi hop double cross into an and-1 midrange jumper. The play highlights key skills, details, and biomechanics of KD’s game that any hooper can learn from. Lets take a closer look. The sequence starts with KD mini-hopping off his left leg - the same hand as the dribble - into a hesitation (hesi) and then left to right dribble crossover. He goes into another hop hesi here and this angle is much cleaner so lets break this one down. The hesi-hop setup does four key things: 1 - It generates a rhythm that optimizes the rest of KD’s movements. In movement science speak, it “primes the system” 2 - Creates deception because KD sets up the same way each time which limits the tells so the defender is guessing and/or reacting, as Giannis is here - a step behind. The hesi is the trunk KD”s movement tree and everything else branches off of it. 3 - It gives KD more time to read the defender’s reaction, process, and then proceed accordingly. Information is power. Here KD sees that Giannis is trying to catchup after the first cross so double crosses back over - dropping his hips to lower his center of gravity which results in better balance and change of direction and coming onto the inside of his left ankle to more completely deload that leg. 4 - Now we’re at the final sequence and fourth and final key - biomechanical advantages. KD hops off the same hand as his dribble because it allows him to use the other leg to push-off downhill, staying up on his forefoot with the downward force from the hop pre-tensioning the achilles and calf complex to generate a powerful forward thrust - aka the stretch-shorten cycle or SSC - that quickly shifts weight to his lead left leg. His left knee extensors - mainly the quads - and calf complex are now loaded to generate a powerful stretch shorten cycle and he’s up on his right forefoot (hard to see here) to again tension the achilles and calf complex. He quickly springs upwards having created enough space to get a clean look and it’s cash from there. That’s a bad man.
NBA injury expert Dr. Raj, DPT details Brooklyn Nets superstar James Harden injury update (“hamstring tightness”) including why that’s good news overall and multiple reasons the Nets are being prudent with his return timeline || NBA injury breakdown For reference, I’m a DPT (Doctor of Physio), youth basketball coach, sports scientist, movement expert, researcher, mindfulness enthusiast and owner of 3CB Performance —providing sports medicine, performance, and mindfulness services online and in-person at clinics in West LA and Valencia, CA. Feel free to hit me with questions and/or you can always find me on my website or follow on social media: Website: https://www.3cbperformance.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/3cbPerformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/3cbperformance/ Here’s a table of contents: - 0:00 Lead-In - 0:09 Good News - 0:33 Why Nets are being prudent - 0:52 Outro Script: Brooklyn Nets star James Harden has been ruled out for game 2 vs the Nets with “hamstring tightness”. This is actually good news because it indicates Harden’s MRI on the hamstring very likely didn’t show any tearing, ruling out a grade 2 or 3 hamstring injury. However, a grade 1 injury - which typically comes with a 7-14 day return - still can’t be ruled out because micro-tears that can characterize grade 1 injuries may not show up on imaging. That grey area along with this being James’ third problem with that hamstring this season, how Harden’s initial hamstring issue this year was diagnosed as “tightness” and then evolved into a higher severity issue once he tried to play on it, and the Nets having a 1-0 lead in the series all points towards the Nets medical staff being cautious with his return.

Lakers skills and movement expert Dr.Raj, DPT details Anthony Davis playoffs readiness and how close he is to 100% healthy by breaking down the film to assess how he’s moving across nine different movement components, spread out over 34 clips| Is Anthony Davis playoffs ready & near 100% healthy?

Lakers superstar Anthony Davis has been back on the floor for about 3.5 weeks after missing nearly 3 months. AD getting back on the floor and ramping up was critical for the team’s repeat hopes and I broke down how he’s looking in key movement components heading into the play-in game. Straight line speed AD has shown really good progress with his straight line speed on the court, whether that’s longer sprints for top end speed or on short recovery burst sprints. Change of direction AD continues to show improvement in his change of direction and getting back to his unique movement skills for a player of his size. Lateral movement Davis’ has been moving really well laterally. Jumping A key issue for AD when he returned was limited lift and limited rebound jumps but he’s progressed with both significantly. Contact/leverage A key thing I look for is how a player is responding to contact when they return from injury. AD is becoming more and more confident in absorbing and delivering contact. Acceleration Davis continues to progress with his acceleration and first step. If you remember, he reaggravated his achilles issue = on an acceleration so this progress gives a lot of insight into his improved health. Reaction AD’s reaction time and acclimation to game speed continues to improve. Rhythm and fluidity One of the last things to return after an extended absence is rhythm and fluidity in movements. AD is progressively showing each in all facets of his game. Confidence Last but certainly not least is confidence. After a long layoff or scary injury, players can have kinesiophobia (aka fear of movement or reinjury) which limits their movement. AD continues to show he’s over that fear with a variety of incredible plays. This bodes really well for the Lakers’ repeat hopes
Lakers and basketball skills expert Raj breaks down the Nikola Jokic vs Marc Gasol matchup following the Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Lakers game this past Monday (93-89 win for the Lakers), including why Gasol matches up very well with Jokic on both ends of the floor and why other Lakers center Andre Drummond struggled defending Nikola Jokic | Nikola Jokic vs Marc Gasol | The Lakers' answer for the likely MVP? | Lakers skills breakdown For reference, I’m a sports scientist, youth basketball coach, DPT (Doctor of Physio), movement expert, researcher, mindfulness enthusiast and owner of 3CB Performance —providing sports medicine, performance, and mindfulness services online and in-person at clinics in West LA and Valencia, CA. Feel free to hit me with questions and/or you can always find me on my website or follow on social media: Website: https://www.3cbperformance.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/3cbPerformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/3cbperformance/ Here’s a table of contents: - 0:00 The lead-in - 0:32 Defense - 2:12 Offense - 2:27 Outro Script: Welcome it’s Raj from 3CB. During the Lakers 93-89 win over the Denver Nuggets on Monday, Lakers’ center Marc Gasol went toe to toe with likely-MVP Nikola Jokic, notching a team high +17 for the night. He showcased why his particular skills, skills he’s developed over a very long career, could be a very viable matchup - maybe even a nightmare - for Jokic should these teams meet in the postseason. Lets go through it in more detail - take notes Andre Drummond. Defense The key thing when guarding Jokic is that you have to be a disciplined, positional defender. Watch here how Marc keeps his hands in a contest position but not in a spot where Jokic could potentially rip through them and bait fouls - which he does all too often - and then moves his feet when Jokic commits the dribble. Marc goes up on the pump fake but he’s able to contort himself to avoid the foul while still contesting. Another example here and this time Gasol times his contest to block Nikola’s shot. Drummond has issues with Jokic because Andre tends to rely on his elite hand speed and athleticism. Here Andre goes for the wraparound steal which Nikola easily reads for an uncontested layup. Further, Gasol does a very good job of leveraging his strength and absorbing the force - often taking the contact to Jokic early on - while still staying grounded and in good position. Here he keeps Jokic out of the restricted area and gets a very good contest on the turnaround. Great shot but you live with that, tip of the cap. To contrast that, Jokic is able to get much deeper on Drummond - part of which is due to where Nikola catches the ball - and then Drummond falls for a pump fake which enables Jokic to score easily on the up and under. Clear contrast in styles and Jokic preys on defender’s reaching or overplaying. He’s a master at reading those openings whereas Marc is elite at concealing them. Offense Additionally - on the offensive end - Marc’s added element of spacing and outside shooting forces Jokic to stay engaged and attached or give up open looks like this.
