Take My Breath Away

Now that the NBA playoffs have started I'll
admit to you I like college basketball a whole
lot more than the pros. I really don't watch
the NBA much until playoff time. Call me jaded,
but I almost think of the regular season games
as a terribly long exhibition season.

So when the playoffs do start I'm a little
behind the 8 ball and not familiar with all the
teams. There's a team beginning to earn more
of my attention right now though.

Fresh off a tough 7 game series with Kobe
Bryant's new look LA Lakers I'm talking about
the Phoenix Suns. What I like about them is to
win they have to play hard-nosed team
basketball and shoot lights out.

Carl Bialik and Jason Fry of the Wall Street
Journal's "Daily Fix" column put it this way:

"Every Sun regular can dribble, pass and shoot,
yielding lots of open looks and stretched net
cords."

Then Kelly Dwyer of SI.com explained what you
have to do to stop Phoenix:

"You have to think on your feet, see the court,
explode toward an open shooter in an instant,
stop on a dime, and ignore your usual
defensive instincts."

What they do in a couple of words is leave you
breathless. They wear you out. That's what
happens with a team where everybody can
shoot well, as long as they have ball handling
skills and are willing to work for the best shot
available.

Maybe you have a burning desire to play in the
NBA someday, or maybe your glory days are in
the rear view mirror, and you just want to
dominate your industrial league compadres.

Perhaps you're a youth basketball coach who
wants to see kids learn how to win in life, or a
supportive parent who wants to give your child
his first experience of the thrill of victory.

Whatever you want from the game of basketball
though, excellent shooting will take you a long
way toward getting it.

Whether you're starting out, or already playing
at elite levels you never outgrow the fundamentals.
Coach Tom Nordland has been gifted to teach the
basics of shooting in a way most men and women,
boys and girls can understand.

It might just take your game to another level.

Shoot For the Stars,

Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops

P.S. If you already have Tom's first video I know
you will want his new Swish 2 DVD. It includes
everything Tom has figured out about his Swish
method since the original came out 9 years ago.

It also equips you to coach yourself or others in
the Swish Method, and it's twice as long as the
original for the same money. I'll be writing more
about it in the near future, but if you know you
want to order it now here's a convenient link.
Thanks.
