Ask anyone in the states about handling. That does not specify dribbeling. You can handle the baal without. It can be alto about passing and how you handle the ball before a shot. With bad handling, you might make a bad pass or a crappy pass. So think about what lies in the word before you rip someone for asking about it.

Besides that, dribbling is required to make even the most basic inside moves. You can't even take a simple drop step without taking a bounce. (This is a dribble by the way)

Certainly you don't want to go into the paint merrily dribbling the time away, but it is quite improbable to be able to play the game, even on the inside, without dribbling. Not if you ever want to score anyways. Even Yao has to take a dribble or two pretty much every time he wants to make a move. Shaq takes 3, 4, 5, even 6 or 7 dribbles to get position, always has.


If you actually believe that your centers can play a game without ever dribbling then you are certainly not being paid to play the game.

The fact that Yao and Shaq dribble doesn't mean they have good handling. You'll rarely see them do crossovers and such to get past a defender.

Their dribble is very basic.

Agreed...and if you read my post it is obvious that I agree, so I don't know what exactly you are trying to say here. I never made any mention about centers making dribble moves, I said that they must dribble the ball for positional purposes. I even specifically mentioned their dribble counts, so I don't know how you decided that I thought they were suddenly Allen Iverson.

My post was in response to what he said. He is apparently a professional basketball player who thinks that big men never have to dribble the ball. This is obviously false.

As for BB:

What I think they ought to do is rename the skills:

Dribbling and Handling -->Ball Handling and Hands.

Not only is this more accurate but it is also more in keeping with how the skills are usually referenced. It is easier to understand and makes more sense.

Do you mean Driving & Handling here?

I was not, by any means, attacking your post.

Just summing it up in three sentences. Short but strong.

No I'm just an idiot. Sorry.

I confused this game with something else when I wrote that. Driving and Handling makes more sense than what I said. LOL
