brb sprinting bilaterally.

That's why for me - jumping off two has never been natural. When you walk/run you don't bounce on two feet. Jumping is just an exaggerated, longer "step" on one leg to me. And we're built to move unilaterally.

That's why for me- jumping off one leg has never been natural. When you jump/squat you don't bounce on one foot. Jumping is just an exaggerated, longer "jump squat" on two feet to me. And we're built to jump bilaterally.




(I actually jump off 1 foot as well, but jumping off 2 never felt natural to you because you are uncoordinated, not because it's a weird movement).

I jump off both 1 and 2 feet pretty darn good. Both feel completely natural. Maybe I'm just uber-coordinated.

that isn't natural blu, we are unilateral creatures blu.

After my 3rd knee surgery on my left knee I had to reduce the amount I jumped off one footed. It was only natural for me to adapt and become a better 2 footed jumper. So the first 16 years of my life, off 1 foot, the next 5 or so off two foot. The last 3 or so I've done both pretty darn well. They both feel completely natural in different situations that they are required for. Just sayin'.

ya i was kidding mang.. hah

Gah, there's no telling anymore. Someone really needs to create a sarcasm font.

lots of people on here are better qualified than i am to offer advice, so all i'll say is, why are you taking all your layups with the same leg/arm combination? shouldn't the ones from the left be off the right leg and with the left hand? even i can make layups off both feet and with both hands and i suck at basketball.

^^ learn to use your left hand/ right leg on the left side, right hand/left leg on the left side.  Also, being that youre a two leg jumper, practice jumping off both as well.

the right/left layup he did on the left/right side seems to work for me so i can skoop under guys arms and get a foul. sorry off topic

Its fine to do reverses and all sorts of variations to the basics.  If you cant ACTUALLY DO THE BASICS though, its a good idea to learn them.  Jumping off the right leg and using the left hand and jumping off the left leg and using the right hand are basic skills, that keep the defense further away from the ball.  There is a reason that every basketball coach in the world teaches these skills to players at a very young age.
