Every youth basketball player could use some tips and pointers when it comes to learning the game. And who better to learn from than one of the greatest of all time? In a recent clip posted online, LeBron James was seen giving crucial advice at his youth camp, focusing mostly on his patented spin move that has become a signature.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been watching LeBron throughout his legendary career, then you know that his spin move is one of his best tricks in the bag. For a guy who\u2019s 6\u20199\u201d and 250 pounds, he has amazing footwork and can cover a lot of ground in an instant. The Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> legend regularly uses the move, especially when bigger players are switched onto him.\u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019s why LeBron recently imparted his wisdom to a group of young players about the signature move. He advised them to get downhill after the spin and finish with a layup rather than settling for a fadeaway jump shot.<\/p>\n \u201cYou gotta spin down the hill so you can lay the ball up. I don\u2019t want the spin out of here to have y\u2019all shooting fadeaways. Y\u2019all spin like this, you know, all out here. Y\u2019all spin, get down the hill, so you can finish the left. Both sides,\u201d Lebron professed, as seen on an Instagram clip.<\/p>\n It\u2019s sound advice that any basketball coach would love to hear. The highest-percentage shots in the game usually come closer to the basket. On the other hand, fadeaway jump shots are among the most difficult attempts to make. Funnily enough, this was similar to what LeBron explained to his son, Bronny,<\/a> earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n James coaching his son Bronny during the Summer League<\/p>\n Maybe LeBron didn\u2019t literally show Bronny how to do his spin move<\/a> like he did at his youth camp, but he was caught on a mic earlier during Summer League offering some midgame advice to his son. Specifically, he urged Bronny to go downhill more.\u00a0\u201cMore. More. Get downhill more,\u201d LeBron shouted<\/a> from his seat, according to Fadeaway World.<\/p>\n LeBron also told his son when to pull up, as well as when he should be knocking down an open jumper. All to help Bronny better recognize when to shoot and what type of shot to use. \u201cPull-up. Going right, that\u2019s a pull-up\u2026 Knock it down!\u201d LeBron barked.<\/p>\n All in all, it\u2019s great to see the father trying to help his son get better during a real game. Yet the odds seemed stacked against Bronny at this point. He may develop into a decent player someday, but for now it\u2019s hard to believe he\u2019s on the Lakers for any reason other than being LeBron\u2019s son.<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s not a bad thing that Bronny is LeBron\u2019s son. In fact, it\u2019s the perfect situation for him at this stage of his career. He doesn\u2019t have to worry about being cut, and he can continue to improve in the shadows while receiving advice on how to get better from one of the GOATs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every youth basketball player could use some tips and pointers when it comes to learning the game.
