Why Chris Paul Dribbles With Force

Chris Paul believes, AS WE TEACH AT NRP, that the ball must be dribbled HIGH AND HARD. He calls it "Dribbling with Force" ... same idea. As we often tell our dribblers, you must "POUND THE BALL WITH AUTHORITY!" Chris explains quite well in this short video segment the advantages of dribbling high and hard. In addition, dribbling high and hard enables you to move quicker on the floor. There are times when a lower dribble (below the knee) is advantageous, such as when entering the lane on penetration or splitting through a gap; however, the game's best dribblers Paul, Nash, Rose, et al, are all high and hard dribblers. Just watch and study them!!!
