Content summary
In this episode, I cover the most recent update on COVID-19 and how it is affecting the NBA world, followed by discussing some ways you can stay engaged and working on your skills while practicing social distancing. The focus of this episode is ball handling. Ball handling is an aspect of your game that doesn’t require a specific location or the involvement of multiple people. As you’re listening, feel free to grab that NBA ball lying next to you and get in some handles.
