If I were to try to move the right stick quickly like when I am in control of a perimeter player, then I would be fine with losing the ball. Here's and example with Kendrick Perkins- Don't get me wrong, though. I don't want to go up and down the court performing advanced dribble moves with big men.

Get what your saying, but how often does this happen? Especially when ratings do go in, not sure if they are in this clip though. I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen every time though. He just wanted to show what could happen when you do a move like that with a big man.

I hope your right. The way Novell Thomas described it tells me that it is impossible and will happen everytime.

Even tho I like the player movement of the Bynum clip, I think it's a bit unrealistic to say that a big man can't dribble, actually most NBA players can do a behind the back when they are not in a pressure situation Bynum was under no pressure, even though I hope I never see a situation where Bynum is taking the ball up the court without a point guard taking it away from him I don't get why he lost the ball so badly. The Artest clip was just bad, first Artest does not take it to the hole like that and the fact that he was able to get around Pierce that easy makes me think about the IGN article where he said the game played alot of one on one basketball, second Artest is a sloppy dribbler and he is not a stylishness dunker, there also seems to be a real disconnect with players on the court Artest is fling to the hoop and no on his team is actually acknowledging what is happening he is celebrating but there should be some emotion from his teammates he just posterized a good defender, there was also no stoppage of play Wallace was still on the floor and the Celtics were ready to inbound the ball.

It doesn't happen every time. I just tried it out myself and it is possible to perform a behind the back dribble with a big man successfully. There is a risk reward with trying to perform ball handling moves (as you saw in the video) with a big man but it is possible to perform various dribble moves with big men.

See. Thanks for clearing it up. IMO it was just common sense that it wouldn't happen every time. Certain big men though right? Not someone like shaq. If so, it should be pretty slow lol.

I think the key to the clip is that it shows that we will have to think about what we are doing with the sticks this year depending on who has the ball. Is it going to happen every time? I'm sure it won't. But why is that Perkins clip such a big deal?! Cause that rarely happens! Same goes with big men dribbling behind the back...just don't move the stick to have him do that...just run it up and give it to a ball handler.
Too much over analyzing going on about Bynum and dribble control.

I didn't see the purpose of the Perkins clip either. I really like the clip. Thats all that matters. Can't wait to see more clips.

Nice to finally see some vid's, but on the Artest dunk Pierce is sliding all over the place, it looks like he gets sucked on to the screen by some kind of vortex by Artest's, and then theirs no D awareness by Garnett he just stands there watching the dunk then all the sudden wakes-up and runs away after the play.
