Movie Reviews of Lenny Wilkens Legacy Basketball Clinic Series - The Basics
Movie Review: Excellent Resource for Fans as Well as Players and Coaches
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who never played competitive basketball, I purchased "The Basics" hoping to gain a better appreciation of what it means to be a solid, fundamentally-sound basketball player. This DVD offers an outstanding look at tools that must be developed in order to be successful on any level, including youth leagues, high school, college, or in the pros. Coaches Wilkens and Helm do an excellent job of instructing viewers on how to handle the ball properly, make passes that won't be picked-off, get away from defenders, and box-out in order to rebound.
"The Basics" offers comprehensive overviews of the nuanced aspects of ball handling, passing, shooting, offensive rebounding, and playing defense. On dribbling and passing, emphasis is placed on using proper technique based on where the defender is located. For example, players are taught when to throw chest passes, bounce passes, or overhead passes in different situations to minimize risks of turnovers. They are taught specific movements to get open on offense to create space between themselves and defenders. When rebounding, the coaches demonstrate how to neutralize the opponent's ability to go after the ball before attempting to grab it.
Wilkens and Helm have assembled an excellent product that can help casual fans better understand the game. Viewers will be better able to appreciate players who go the extra mile to help their teams win. "The Basics" isn't just great for players and coaches, it is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn what it takes to be fundamentally-sound on the court.
Summary of Lenny Wilkens Legacy Basketball Clinic Series - The Basics
Get in the game with Lenny Wilkens enhanced edition DVD of his classic basketball clinic series. Lenny and Dick Helm show you all you need to know to get your team to the playoffs! Legendary coach Lenny Wilkens teams up with Dick Helm to lay out the fundamentals of one of America's most dynamic and challenging sporting events: basketball. Wilkens who holds the title as the most successful coach in the NBA (based on his impressive tally of wins) teaches beginner coaches and players how to run and read the floor handle the ball drive to the basket work with teammates and more. Includes the coach's video chalkboard. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?SPORTS/GAMES Rating:?NR UPC:?730475586012 Manufacturer No:?58601-7Basketball legend Lenny Wilkens, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach, is the engaging and expert host of this pair of instructional videos. Each tape, one focusing on skills of offense and one on skills of defense, follows a no-nonsense format: a friend of Wilkens, NBA coach Dick Helm, presents a brief lesson on a particular skill (such as specific nuances of dribbling or passing), and young athletes are shown performing the skill the way it should be done. Then it's time for Wilkens to use his "chalkboard." The videotaped action is frozen while Wilkens draws on the screen with a "telestrator," literally highlighting particular points that require special attention. The coaches present a comprehensive set of skills, including ball handling, passing, and shooting on the offense tape, and pointers on stance, pressuring the ball, particular defensive maneuvers, and defensive rebounding on the defense tape. The camera work is professional throughout, and a booklet that accompanies the tapes serves as both a table of contents for the tapes and a workbook, as it contains pointers on the skills covered in the video presentations. This is an excellent set of instructional tapes and would benefit any players who seriously want to improve their game. --Robert J. McNamara
