Dribbling

Top point guards dribble and control the ball as if it were on a string. Good technique is critical for a ball handler. You should dribble with your fingertips rather than your palm. Dribble with your head up so you can see the opposition and your teammates. Keep your body low and use your off-ball hand to help keep your defender at bay. Work on dribbling with both hands, so you'll be as comfortable going to your left or your right.

Passing

Great passers can see the whole court and anticipate where a teammate will go and what a defender will do. Mastering the basics is the place to start. Develop a two-hand chest pass, bounce pass and overhead pass so you can deliver the ball to your teammates in the best position for them to shoot or beat their defender. Steve Nash or Derrick Rose can dazzle you with a behind-the-back or a no-look pass. But those moves are not just for show; they provide a teammate the best chance to score.

Shooting

It's difficult to score if you can't shoot the ball effectively. As Better Basketball Coaching explains, shooting is something of an art form, and some players, such as Kevin Durant and Ray Allen, have a knack for it. But everyone can improve their shooting through proper technique and lots of practice. Proper technique includes squaring your body up to the target, shooting the ball with your fingertips, keeping your elbows from flying, putting backspin and arc on the shot and following through completely after letting the ball fly.

Rebounding

Although it helps to be tall and have jumping ability, rebounding is a matter of desire as well as ability. Charles Barkley was relatively small for a forward, but he was an outstanding rebounder. He had the ability to determine where an errant shot was likely to fall, the willingness to crash the boards relentlessly and the strength to block out taller opponents. Blocking out your opponent -- also called boxing out -- is one of the keys to good rebounding. To do it effectively, maintain your concentration and focus.

Defense

Even the best scorers go into shooting slumps. But you can always play good defense if you hustle and understand both individual and team defense. When you are defending a player, keep you head lower than his. Stay close enough to the offensive player to bother him -- but not so close he can blow by you with one step. Know your opponent's tendencies so you can dictate the direction you want him to move. Be aware of the other players on the court, so you can play help defense when a teammate loses his man.

Headphones: travel, cycling, noise-canceling

The best noise-cancelling headphones can help you slip into an audio nirvana, whether you're heading to work and trying to escape the sound of traffic and sniffling commuters, or you just want to get away from everything and dive into your favorite music at home.

How to choose the best noise-cancelling headphones

We believe that noise-cancelling headphones are just as vital as your laptop, TV or mobile phone when it comes to tech that'll change how you live, work and play – especially if you have a long commute each day or a flight ahead of you. That means that choosing the right pair for you is important – the demands of a good pair of headphones for a flight are different to those you'll only ever use at home.

5 Best Travel Headphones Of 2019

We buy our own products and put them under the same testing methodology so that you can easily compare them. Unlike most websites, we do not get our products directly from the manufacturers, which means our units aren’t handpicked and actually represent what you would buy yourself. We spend a lot of time comparing the products side-by-side to validate our results and we keep them until they are discontinued so we can continually go back and make sure our reviews are always accurate.
Shopping for travel headphones can be a bit challenging. You usually want something that’s compact and lightweight without compromising on sound or good noise isolation. Thankfully, there are lots of good travel headphones to consider, from noise cancelling over-ears to the most compact truly wireless headphones. We’ve reviewed 230 headphones and below are our top five picks.
Many cyclists can’t imagine going out on their bikes without entertainment. Headphones give you the option to listen to music or podcasts while cycling. But not every pair of headphones is good for driving a bike. Some don’t fit well under a helmet, and some create too much wind noise. We present the best headphones for cycling in this guide.

The world is now wireless and there’s no reason listening to your tunes shouldn’t benefit from advances in wireless tech. While riding in traffic with headphones can still be dangerous, new models allow more ambient sound or even use bone-conducting technology (the “buds” go on your temples, not in your ear canal), so you can hear more of what’s happening around you. That makes them good options for mountain biking, bike paths, and gravel roads in addition to using them on your trainer or in the gym. Plus, as earbud tech improves, the options for cycling are getting more durable and sweatproof, and coming with longer-lasting batteries, all while prices are falling.
