Michael Jordan - Postup Powerhouse (Low Post to Mid Post Progressions)
Michael Jordan. GOAT. What gets lost about Jordan is that outside of his otherworldly athleticism and unyielding need to win at EVERYTHING, he is easily one of most fundamentally sound players of all-time. He hardly ever put a foot wrong in terms of his footwork, the correct angle is always taken, he’s got a mastery of the glass on both his flip shots and his jumpers. MJ’s post game is preposterously potent. His defense divine. His passing? Unbelievably undervalued. By the time he finished his second 3peat, he had every trick in the book and written an entirely new one all his own. Do yourself a favor and go watch Michael Jordan’s Playground. I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sure I could ever get myself to do an MJ video. The task seemed too daunting. His skillset sits somewhere between sublime and supremely spectacular and trying to parse pieces of his game seemed insanely difficult. Then @zhugelianges and I got to talking and both our channels love a good player-centric post up compilation. Obviously, Jordan is just the best to ever do it, so why not him, right? Z decided he was going to do the low post stuff and so we agreed I’d do mid post stuff. I found it a little difficult trying to determine which shots to include because some start in the low post and work out to the mid post while others begin further out and work in…so I guess a conceit I used was that so long as it either began or ended in the low to mid post, I could include it. Yes, the video is a little bit messy in terms of different styles but I wanted to include as diverse a selection as possible (#12, #45, rookie to young MJ features, some clips that had to leveled all the way up from 360p, to final Bulls season Jordan). If you’re a post up purist, you’ll probably recognize that the moves might not really be post ups, but it’s MJ so just enjoy.

Kawhi Leonard - Midrange Mastery 18/19
Kawhi Leonard. 2x NBA Champion. 2x NBA Finals MVP. 3x NBA All-Star. 2x All-NBA First Team. 2019 All-NBA Second Team. 2x Defensive Player of the Year. 3x All-Defensive First Team. 2x All-Defensive Second Team. Only the THIRD player to win Finals MVP with two different teams (LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar). His playoff run was legendary, not only because he brought an NBA championship outside of the United States for the first time in history, but because he had the third greatest single postseason scoring run in the league (link below): Kawhi scored 732 points, LeBron James in 2018 scored 748, while Michael Jordan in 1992 had an unreal 759. Anyway, let’s not mince words here: there are so many Kawhi-lights and multiple different parts of his game on BOTH sides of the ball that I decided this would be a nice little piece to an expansive puzzle. Let’s start from the ground up: Kawhi’s footwork is fantastic, his balance is brilliant, his ability to decelerate is dangerous, and he is so strong that it is STUNNING how guys just bounce off of him. Whether he creates or absorbs contact, he is almost always the winner. Whether he uses force or finesse, he’s a phenomenal finisher. Zach Lowe notes in his article (link below): “He is one of two players to have logged at least 1,000 career postseason minutes and shot at least 50% overall and 40% from 3-point range. (Al Horford is the other, at much lower long-range volume.)” He scored at a career-high 26.6 points per game this past season (good for 6th in the league) and upped that to 30.5 points per game in the postseason. All that is to say that he can score in any kind of way. This video is focused on his midrange game. He was the second leading scorer in the playoffs (just behind James Harden’s 31.6 points per game through 11 games) and the second most efficient player (behind Nikola Jokic), and if you watched the playoffs, you’d know that he looked Michael and Kobe-esque, not just with his ability to just will his team to victory, but also with the array of shots he was taking. Try to chase him off the line? Easy one dribble pullup. Switch a smaller or weaker player onto him? He’s punishing them in the post. Throw a big on him? He’s already around or THROUGH him. https://www.espn.in/nba/story/_/id/26923847/what-kawhi-raptors-done-warriors https://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401134820 If you'd like to donate: Venmo - @Evin_Gual Cash App - $EvinGual Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/evin_gual
Steph Curry - Superb Separation 18/19
Wardell Stephen Curry. 3x NBA Champion. 2x NBA Most Valuable Player. 6x NBA All-Star. 3x All-NBA First Team. 2x All-NBA Second Team. 2018 All-NBA Third Team. 2016 Scoring Champion. 2016 Steals Leader. 50-40-90 Lifer. Three-Point Contest Champion in 2015. 2x USA Basketball Gold Medalist (2010 FIBA World Cup in Turkey, 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain). The FIRST EVER unanimous MVP winner, and the the first guard to win back to back MVPs since Steve Nash. Oh, and there is also that little thing of being the GREATEST SHOOTER IN NBA HISTORY. There is nothing that can be said about Steph that hasn’t been said already: he’s supremely special. He is an offense unto himself in the NBA and the linchpin of a team that averaged 64.4 wins in the 5 seasons Steve Kerr has been coaching in the league. He was the leader of ONLY the second team in all NBA history to reach 5 straight NBA Finals. The focus of this video is how he absolutely still ROCKS people. With his handle, his range, and his shiftiness (and sneaky strength), he’s able to impose his will onto a basketball game like few others. He is so unselfish on the court and moves so well off the ball (links of those videos below) that I think we forget just how deadly this dynamo is in isolation, attacking on the pick and roll, or just dazzling with his dance moves at the end of the shot clock. In 2018-19, Steph from a statistical standpoint had the second best season since the unanimous MVP campaign: 27.3 points per game (good for 5th in the league). He also went for 28.2 points per game in the postseason (his second best postseason scoring run since the Dubs’ first championship). Basically, the Splash Bro balled out like you wouldn’t believe and it’s embarrassing that we take greats like him for granted.

Between the Legs (BTL) Reverse Move
Kyrie Irving. Luka Doncic. Trae Young. Chris Paul. Donovan Mitchell. DeMar DeRozan. Jamal Crawford. Jamal Murray. Blake Griffin. Dwyane Wade. I am sure that this move has been done before Wade, and since by a few other people I do not have clips of, but the reason DWade's BTL reverse move is featured is because that is the first time I ever saw it on TV and it's a move that I've always found mesmerizing. The move, at peak effectiveness is a wrap dribble, a behind the back fake, and a split move all at once.

Chris Paul - Spinning Pullback
I KNOW we’ve all seen Chris Paul playing 1 spots with Bradley Beal and Jayson Tatum over with Drew Hanlen and Pure Sweat Basketball. I KNOW we lose our minds over that spinning behind the back move into a fallaway. What I don’t know if you know is that it’s one of his pet moves. I’ve been compiling these clips for a little while now because I have been fascinated with it forever. The thing about the one he used against Beal is that he’s attacking the right side of the basket, so he’s got the ball in his right hand, but it’s all about selling the drive. Bradley Beal HAS to cut off the angle to the basket and that allows CP to really pound that behind the back dribble AND spin into that shot. The biggest key to the rest of these shots is the THREAT of getting to the basket. Normally he sets up his defender by selling a drive to the rim. He’s so low and athletic and dangerous that if you don’t cut that angle off, obviously it’s a bucket right there. Now, most of the time he’ll have the ball in his left hand. He’ll get SO LOW, almost like a sprinter coming off the blocks type stance as he gets his right leg in front. When he gets in that split, now you’re dead as a defender because he’ll pull the ball back to his right hand and just rise up for a jumper in that space he’s generated. He’s clearly worked on that shot enough that he can make it no matter how well contested it is. I have about as many variations as I could find on this specific move, so forgive me if it’s not ALL the same. I don’t quite know about the terminology on this but another major key is his able to shot on the half turn. I first saw this move get broken down by the great Micah Lancaster in 2011 (link below) and I’ve been in love with the move ever since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_SNMUWWXQw If you'd like to donate: Venmo - @Evin_Gual Cash App - $EvinGual Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/evin_gual
Fred VanVleet - Plucky Playmaker (Defense & Passing) 18/19
Fred VanVleet. NBA Champion. Fred went undrafted in 2016. Signed with Toronto Raptors Summer League team. During his rookie year, he had repeat appearances for the Raptors 905 (the Raptors’ D-League team). D-League Champion in 2017. Finished as a finalist for Sixth Man of the Year in 2018. In 2018-19, he made his mark on the league, playing hounding defense on Stephen Curry and delivered big shots time and time again. Undrafted to NBA champion in three seasons, the former Wichita State Shocker shattered every expectation during the 2019 playoffs. When he welcomed Fred VanVleet Jr. into the world, there was an expectation he would struggle further because he was already in a shooting slump, couple that with the trend of little to no sleep most parents of newborns get and you have a recipe for disaster. Not so with FVV; he kept trusting his stroke and it kept falling. The league had never seen a box-and-one before. It largely worked because of Toronto’s terrific defensive tenacity and organization, but if you don’t have a capable ONE to chase, hound, harass, and generally defend the GREATEST SHOOTER OF ALL TIME in Steph Curry, then the defense cannot work. If you watched any of the Finals, you could conceivably excuse Fred for not having anything left in the tank on offense because of his defensive responsibilities, but he acted like a more athletic version of 2015 Matthew Dellavedova on defense, and a more rangy version of 2011 JJ Barea, and was a HUGE factor in the Raptors bringing the Larry O’Brien trophy outside of the United States for the first time. The point of all of this is to say that VanVleet has vehemently proven that to doubt him is a dangerous proposition and his determination will dominate whatever obstacle you throw his way. https://www.rrstar.com/sports/20160624/fred-van-vleet-signs-with-toronto-raptors https://nba.nbcsports.com/2018/05/16/lou-williams-eric-gordon-fred-vanvleet-finalists-for-sixth-man-of-the-year/ https://thebiglead.com/2019/05/24/fred-vanvleet-hasnt-missed-since-his-son-was-born/ If you'd like to support: Venmo - @Evin_Gual Cash App - $EvinGual Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/evin_gual
James Harden - Superb Separation (Iso King) 17/18 (Finishing)
James Harden. 2018 NBA Most Valuable Player. 6x NBA All-Star. 4x All-NBA First Teamer. 2013 All-NBA Third Team. 2012’s Sixth Man of the Year. Led the league in assists in 2017 (and finished second in scoring). 2018’s scoring champion. 2x USA Basketball Gold Medalist (2012 Olympics in London and the 2014 FIBA World Cup of Basketball in Spain). The Beard is a bucket, and an abusive one at that. He gave it to defenses in every conceivable way: Harden was the league leader in points per game (30.4), 3 point field goals made (265, compared to second place Paul George’s 244) and attempted, free throws made (624, compared to second place Anthony Davis’ 495) and attempted (on 86% shooting), he also generated 8.8 assists per game (good for third in the league, behind Russell Westbrook and LeBron James). He lead the league in Player Efficiency Rating (PER) with 29.8, Win Shares, Box Plus/Minus, and finished second to only LeBron James in terms of his Value Over Replacement Player. **Quick aside, in case you're looking for the thumbnail where he makes Corey Brewer MOONWALK, it's the very last clip** The Beard broke down defenses with his dizzying, dazzling dribbling. He danced and danced until his defenders were dazed and confused. Until they rocked to and fro from his riveting and rhythmic movements. He’d shift and tilt and jab and jerk and juke and then hesitate and devastate. He had his guy whirling and twirling and then he’d turn on the afterburners with his frightfully forceful first step and then it was over. He’d either muscle his way to the cup, read the direction the defense is leaning and fire the perfect pass, bust out the insane in-between game he’s honed over the years, or rock his signature stepback for a more or less (to him) open jumper. (Then again, what else would you have expected from the man when he works with PJ Performance? If you haven’t given that guy a follow yet, I would strongly recommend it. A link is available in my “featured channels” section. His page is crucial for basketball knowledge and to become a better athlete in general.) The Rockets decided that the optimal way to play this past season was to utilize two of best shot creators in the league. With Harden’s potential being truly unlocked by the D’Antoni/move to point guard fusion in 2016/17, many wondered how exactly Chris Paul’s arrival would impact Harden. What ended up happening seemed like an anomaly. In the era of pace and space, and secondary break action, Harden and Paul were isolating for large chunks of the shot clock. The reason was obvious: from day one, they were preparation and perfecting a game plan with which to attack the practically unbeatable Golden State Warriors: work the early offense and get a great shot, or use their flow to force a mismatch via the switch, and isolate and devastate that switch. Ultimately, it resulted in falling just short (by virtue of missing a historic number of three point field goal attempts (giving annoying life to pointless argument “live by the three, die by the three”)) of doing something that seemed unimaginable since Kevin Durant decided to take his talents to the 73-9 Warriors…but man oh man, did James Harden light up the league in the about 90 games he played this season. These are for the regular season only, and feature no jumpers or passes.
