Basketball--improving ball handling

[Popinjay]

My right hand is average-below average(my dominant hand) but my left is very very crappy. I would like to improve both of them but especially my left. I can't break people down on offense and I don't feel that comfortable bringing it up the court as a point guard. I'm 5' 8 so I am pretty useless without these skills. I would like to become unuseless, help me oot. I'll be playing probably everyday and will have a lot of time to do stuff.

Dribble hour after hour, day after day, week after week, month after month.

first, make sure you dribble with each hand for at least a half hour everyday. NO EXCEPTIONS

then, work on some moves. It's like martial arts. Practice the basic movements over and over. Then, expand your horizons.

Strengthen your wrists by masturbating furiously.

Have a basketball with you 24/7. Dribble it a lot with both hands.

PRACTICE

[ChipWrecked]

Do not look at the ball while dribbling. Even if you have to chase it down a hundred times.

And remember,

Confucious say:
Girls should not marry basketball players because they always dribble before they shoot.

As everyone said, just practice. Start small and in a few months you should have an above average left hand. Practice layups left handed too, it will help your inside game a ton.

I play a lot of ball, and had the same shortcomings initially. Other than playing a lot, I would suggest you get these - a lot of NBA guys use them.
