Product Description:

Legendary coach Lenny Wilkens teams up with Dick Helm to lay out the fundamentals of one of America's most dynamic and challenging sporting events: basketball. Wilkens, who holds the title as the most successful coach in the NBA (based on his impressive tally of wins), teaches beginner coaches and players how to run and read the floor, handle the ball, drive to the basket, work with teammates and more. Includes the coach's video chalkboard. Running Time: 100 minutes. Release Date: 10/28/2003.

Basketball legend Lenny Wilkens, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach, is the engaging and expert host of this pair of instructional videos. Each tape, one focusing on skills of offense and one on skills of defense, follows a no-nonsense format: a friend of Wilkens, NBA coach Dick Helm, presents a brief lesson on a particular skill (such as specific nuances of dribbling or passing), and young athletes are shown performing the skill the way it should be done. Then it's time for Wilkens to use his "chalkboard." The videotaped action is frozen while Wilkens draws on the screen with a "telestrator," literally highlighting particular points that require special attention. The coaches present a comprehensive set of skills, including ball handling, passing, and shooting on the offense tape, and pointers on stance, pressuring the ball, particular defensive maneuvers, and defensive rebounding on the defense tape. The camera work is professional throughout, and a booklet that accompanies the tapes serves as both a table of contents for the tapes and a workbook, as it contains pointers on the skills covered in the video presentations. This is an excellent set of instructional tapes and would benefit any players who seriously want to improve their game. --Robert J. McNamara

Excellent instructional video. Before each lesson Lenny provides bullet points on the points to remember. They then show highly skilled player demonstrate. Lenny freeze frames and uses chalk to show the most important points. I've bought several books and DVDs on basketball and so far, this is the best. Highly recommended.

As someone who never played competitive basketball, I purchased "The Basics" hoping to gain a better appreciation of what it means to be a solid, fundamentally-sound basketball player. This DVD offers an outstanding look at tools that must be developed in order to be successful on any level, including youth leagues, high school, college, or in the pros. Coaches Wilkens and Helm do an excellent job of instructing viewers on how to handle the ball properly, make passes that won't be picked-off, get ... Read More

This will be helpful perhaps if you are an EXTREME beginner. If you are not, however, it will sound like a bunch of the same cliches your coach threw at you in junior high. I was expecting a little more (he is a hall of famer, after all) and just didn't get it. If you are an intermediate or advanced player you will get little to no help from this video in terms of ideas for new moves or new ways of looking at the game. There's also a considerable amount of pretty transparent filler--cheesy graphics ... Read More

This is an outstanding video. The pace is right and the voice over is the right speed. I bought it for my 7 and 8 year old daughters, but realized that they would only be able to digest the large amount of information in small bites. So we watch and then break to practice. You may wish to sit thru each video in one sitting, but spread it out for your kids. Like the Chinese say (my kids are half Chinese) Hear and forget, see and remember, do and understand. Excellent pair of videos.

I recommend this book for beginner to intermediate basketball player who wants to improve skills. Contains everything from defense stance to basketball shooting.
