NBA basketball basics by mark vancil

Wonderful book for youngsters and coachs. Clear list of basketball practice principles, drills and plays with color pictures. It also appeals to youngsters by knowing the superstars of NBA, but this book is way too old 1995. Look forward to having a new revision.

Got Skills? You do now!

Dear reader,I a read a book called Basketball Basics by Mark Vancil. I liked this book because it gives the steps on how to shout, dribble, and pass. It also gives some drills to practise at home. I give this book 4 stars because it's a good learner book, but it only has 124 pages. So if you are a beginner, this is the book for you!
