    What are some good dribbling drills (or just ways to improve my dribbling in general)?

    Just keep dribbling...

    Practice dribbling around the court for a while with both hands. When you play a game be a ball hog...seriously...if it's a pick up game who cares. You may have sick handles by yourself, but it's a completely different game when you have a defender on you. Just keep dribbling...learn from your mistakes...and just pay attention to what you're doing.

    side to side.

    I can't emphasize that enough. I spent the whole summer doing that all day when i was a kid and wanted to get better. And make sure you do it low, and with both hands, if you aren't a good handler remember that doing crossovers isn't nearly as important at your stage...how old are you?

    I can't shoot.


    You know how decent I could be if I could make a higher percentage?

    There is going to be a day when i lose speed, quickness, and the ability to jump.
