Ray: Alright Swoop.
Swoop: Yeah, I need some help bro, Ray.
Now, I want to become a better power forward.
I'm pretty tall.
Alright, and I'm just lacking some of the things I need to become a better power forward.
Can you help me out?
Ray: You need power
Swoop: What?
Look at this muscle right here son.
You see that right here?
Ray: You sure that's not like a nervous twitch?
Swoop: No man!
It's honest work!
I was just, that's like 17 push-ups a week.
Ray: That's involuntarily muscle movement.
Alright Swoop, I'm going to show you how to become a better power forward.
We brought in
Ray and Swoop: The expert.
Swoop: Yes
Ray: DP, this is power right here.
Swoop: Oh OK.
Ray: This is six foot six inches of pure power.
Swoop: Wow.
Ray: First thing about the power forward position is that you gotta be able to rebound the basketball.
Swoop: Rebounding!
That's important.
Ray: How do you go to rebound it?
Like this?
Swoop: No, no, no, no ,no
Ray: You want to rebound the ball with two hands.
Swoop: Nice
Ray: And you want to do what's called chinning' it.
Swoop: Chinning' it.
Ray: So you keep the basketball close to your chin as the defense tries to smack it out.
They won’t be able to get it,
Swoop: Good Work
Ray: because you got that ball close, tucked in.
Swoop: OK so I'm going to get strong.
Get Strong!
Ray: Now on the offensive end, you want to post up.
Swoop: Post up!
Ray: Get a good base on the post up.
Swoop: Right!
Ray: Show your hands and where you want the ball!
Swoop: Very Strong!
Ray: Yeah, now the guy on offense knows where to throw it and then you can operate!
Swoop: Nice!
Ray: You know about operating' right?
Swoop: Operating'!
Yeah, I, I think I can!
Ray: You a smooth operator!
Swoop: No, I have the game operation!
Out there, buzz, I got it wrong!
Gets me every time!
You funny doe!
It's right there, it's right there!
Ray: It's right there!
So that's the, that's how you become a better power forward on the offensive and on the
defensive end.
You wanna show a good post presence with good balance on the offensive end and on the defensive
end you wanna make sure your first thing is you become a good rebounder, grabbing the
ball with 2 hands and being able to start that fast break and getting it to a guard.
