LeBron James was seen offering important advise at his youth camp in a recent video that was made public online. He primarily focused on his trademark spin move.
LeBron’s spin move is one of his better moves, as anyone who has seen him throughout his illustrious career knows. He can cover a lot of territory quickly and has incredible footwork for a man who is 6’9″ and 250 pounds. The move is frequently used by the legendary Los Angeles Lakers player, particularly when larger players are shifted onto him.
LeBron James gives advice to young players on how to improve the game
James recently shared his knowledge of the signature move with a group of young players. Instead of settling for a fadeaway jump jumper, he suggested that they get downhill after the spin and finish with a layup.
Lebron declared in an Instagram video: “You gotta spin down the hill so you can lay the ball up. I don’t want the spin out of here to have y’all shooting fadeaways. Y’all spin like this, you know, all out here. Y’all spin, get down the hill, so you can finish the left. Both sides,”

Any basketball coach would appreciate hearing this wise counsel. Typically, the shots with the highest percentage in the game are those that are closer to the basket. Conversely, one of the hardest jump shots to try is a fadeaway one. Oddly enough, LeBron’s explanation to his kid Bronny earlier this year was comparable to this.
