I visited your deviantart a while ago and you mention disliking fairy tail, on your profile. Correct me if I'm mistaken. ._.

I thought you liked fairy tail but not the fanservice.

I've had higher with someone else, sorry.
xD

Awyeah, our compatibility. �

I love dribbling cuz thers so many things you can do with it like create space for shooting, create openings for teammates and yourself to blow by, etc. Your coming to canada? Well you probably already did since iv been away for so long lol.

So how was it? And whered you go?

And yes, play basketball as much as you can :D Its an amazing sport and one you should never stop playing.

RAPTORS FTW!!!!!!! Ahahaha sorry theres just too much adrenaline coursing through my viens right now, i cant handle it!!!!! The game was absolutely intense, they had a 24 point lead which was cut down to a tie and i was on my feet runnning like crazy. Oh,your probably wondering why and thats cuz im canadian and so I love the raptors cuz of the fact that they are the only canadian team in the nba :D

Yeah no problem! Next time we can talk about the matches once you watch them. WATCH GAME 6!!! Of pacers vs hawks and nets vs Raptors. These games are going to be amazing. Miami heat is my favourite but im hoping to see raptors beat them just cuz a threepeat would be boring. And yes, i absolutely deteste rain.

I actually like snow when theres alot of it falling cuz it just looks like a white blanket covering the whole city and I can get an amazing view of the city from where i live and it gives it the whole silent christmas feel. I cant really explain it but I like snow when theres alot of it falling just cuz it looks nice i guess. I absolutely deteste rain tho. Today it was raining and my umbrella took a good beating from the wind and i couldnt hold it up at one point and got soaked. Plus, whenever its raining, i always feel under the weather so thats another reason. Whenever its sunny, i feel like i can do anything and it would be enjoyable. Hell, i even do homework when its sunny, it just makes everything more enjoyable for some reason, well for me anyways.

Its very possible to watch it on the internet, in fact you can watch any live sport on the internet: http://isport24.com/en/

^ That site is my homepage so that just shows how often im watching games online lol

Dont go buying cable when you've got something called the internet

Wow that sucks, i really hope things take a better turn for you :D Basketball is such an amazing sport and I would get insanely pissed everytime one of my games got canceled so theres no way in hell im gonna let my own body pull me out from a game. I eat pretty healthy and drink about a gallon of water a day tho, so maybe thats it? People usually think i have talent but only those who work out with me and stuff know how hard working i can be. My friend, well actually our center, keeps asking why i try so hard in practice and i just looked up and im like "if im gonna lose a match, i wanna lose it when im at my best" which sounds retarded i know, but, thats just me. I prioritize basketall over studies which is a bad thing but i just cant help it you know? Gotta do whichever one you like better.

Are you watching the playoffs this year? I wouldnt think so with the little time you have but you should atleast watch some highlights, there are some amazing games going on!!!

Thanks and yeah I recognize your Tumblr name.

You've got to get a rhythym and start crossing some people THEN you'll see the beauty of dribbling. Players who specialize in one area but suck at the rest will have a hard time in games. If its only one thing your good at, its not very hard to stop you.

Its not that im careful (of course, im not some stupid kagami that runs in mindlessy either) , its just that i dont really get in those nasty situations. And once your handles get to the next level, all youll have to worry about what to do with the 5 defenders in front of you, one of whom wil be on the ground looking at you. Seriously tho, im not even joking. You've seen akashi play right? Handles can get so far in games its not even funny. Just work on getting your own feel/rhythym for the ball and break some ankles. On top of that, if you learn this, you can even do the thing you like best (shooting) without a defender there to contest you. Well technically he IS there but he cant do shit cuz he's on the ground..........

Just take me for example, if you ask my teammates, youl find that i always atleast 2-3 ankle breakers per game, believe it or dont, and whats MY ppg? Its well over 20 and at the same time, my steals is also very high for a player. Pardon me if i sound like im bragging but i've got to drill this into your head XD. So, as i was saying, good driblling skills can also aid you in racking up steals because, once you know the different ways to move a basketball around your body, you can predict where the ball will go from one place on your defender to the next. Take this one guy for an example, he would do these fancy dribbling techniques, but there would ALWAYS be a behind the back when he hesitates, THIS is the moment you want to cap on. Spring for that ball and knock it away and run after it. And once you've got good dribbling, passing is a breeze.... Dribbling is more than just moving the ball up the court or breaking some guys ankles, it plays a major role in defense as well and if you can keep your defender from scoring, you can widen the gap between your scores, considering that your winning of course.

See why I said dribbling is a fundemental? Steals, assitst, blocks, and points are all things that begin with dribbling (well blocks you could do with size but it takes prediction when it comes down to the good players).

Also, my doctor says i have an abnormal recovery rate as well. When I say sprain my ankle from a game on friday, the ankle will have healed up by saturday night at the latest. This could be because my dad, grandpa and everyone in my lineage was forced to be fit (government officers so they need to be able to handle getting punched,stabbed, and all that stuff) and since there called for duty even the next day after getting an injury, they cant worry about how much pain they're feeling cuz that will just cost them they're job. So maybe its that but honestly, i dont even know nor could i care cuz hey, this is like a gift from the goddess, all i gotta do is cherish it :D

and im going to see more of his works

oh yeah it's coming out, isn't it? haha i can't wait :)

i know right?
i mean we all would like a satisfying ending, but real world doesn't work that way. I know that urobutcher would have wanted this to be the end and not make homura devil, but he did a marvelous job at continuing the story. He used the fact that the one who loves God the most is the Devil, and made a story out of it, and it was good!
But, really, you should watch it again. You'll get some things you missed (but do skip the part where they play "who's the cake" game), and you will never get sick of the dogfight between mami and homura.

Dribbling's super easy if you've got your own rhythm. It's something that's supposed to come naturally and it's different for each person. I'm sure you'll get yours soon enough. Why wouldn't you be able to teach me? Lol anyone can learn no matter how good they are.

Yeah injuring would be bad. I've never missed a game yet so I hope I don't start lol

Dribbling is a fundamental in basketball. You need it to be one of your strong points unless your playing center which, i doubt youll be playing XD

These are actually really basic stuff. Once you take your game to the next level, I can teach you some other techniques if you are interested. Who knows? Maybe by that time you'll be teaching me lol

I can almost dunk. As of right now, im able to jam the ball against the rim and still make it go in so another 3-4 inches boost to my vertical should do it.

I know right?! I also love him cuz of the fact that he works hard even though he doesnt need to. Hes like aomine in the sense of winning but he doesnt slack off, one of the biggest reasons why i find him to be a ******* boss.

What do you do when a player is alot taller than you?

Lets get some basics down:

1) When you get the ball square up to your defender and get into tripple threat position.

2) Shoot and make a shot to show that you are a threat from the perimiter

3) Once you get the ball a second time your defender will know that you can shoot. Give him/her a jab step and WATCH CAREFULLY. If, you jab step and your defender opens up to YOUR right, it means he/she thinks your going to drive to YOUR right. If, you jab step and your defender opens up to YOUR left, it means he/she thinks your going to drive to YOUR left.

4) After observing and lets say your defender opened up RIGHT. It means they think your gonna drive in to the lane from YOUR right. Now what you do is give them a hard driblle to the right and move your body forward as your doing it so that it will convince your defender. Now crossover to your left and drive in for the layup, since your defender opened up to the right he/she will be slow to change direction and if you EXPLODE off of your crossover than it will be even harder for your defender to have a chance at at stopping you.

--OR--

You could just fake a shot and since you made your previous one, there will be a high chance that the defender will think youl make this shot too and will jump to block it. Now you can blow by him as he flys through the air.

5) Now you are a) a threat from the perimiter and b) a threat inside the paint. What you need to do now is c) play mind games. This is where you really start screwing with your defender. Fake a shot and drive in, your defender will be in a rush to get back to block you. Now instead of driving in for the layup, pull up for a jumper off you drive. Your defender who was running to get in the way of your drive will now be too far away to guard your shot.

6) Samething as before except this time, if your defender gets close to you before you can pull up, simply fake like your going for another pull-up jumper and spin with your pivot foot for an easy floater.

7) Now just mix it up and give your defender hell. Although if your like me, you can just easily get by people by breaking their ankles or simply shooting over them.

----Best way to beat ANY defender---

This is by far the most SIMPLEST and most EFFECTIVE way to beat ANY defender regardless of how good they are. Three words:

Change-Your-Pace

If you can change your pace, your defender will have a hard time reacting. We humans adjust to certain conditions after a set time. If you play at your fastest the whole time, your defender will get used to it. However, if you were to change up your speed during your plays then it will be MUCH harder for the defender to adjust to you. Start off dribbling the ball slowly and as soon as you see your defender relax or drop his/her shoulders, EXPLODE into a drive and your defender wont be able to keep up with your new speed. This makes it easy to blow by people and once you get by one, keep your eye out for open teammates since another defender will most likely come up to contest you.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your defender starts to realize when you will change your pace so look back at the 1-7 I mentioned and use them. Keep changing it up, if you only and always do one thing, youll have a hard time.

Thats all off the top of my head so hopefully you understood :)
if i think of anything else ill tell you
