I want to start by saying that Kyle Korver is the hotest person on the planet. I think I would die for him. My sister thinks Deron Williams is hotest but I say “No Way”!

Dribbling is a hard skill to learn the first time. You will get used to it. One of the main goals is to keep your eyes up when you are dribbling. I usually look at the hoop or the players next to me. You should put one arm out, the one that isn’t dribbling, so that people can’t knock the ball out of your hands. But don’t hit them or it’s a foul.

You should learn to dribble with your left hand too because sometimes people will come to your right side and try to steal the ball. It will be easier for them to get it if you aren’t using your left hand. So when they come to the right side, you flip the ball to your left hand. When they come to your left side, you flip the ball to your right hand. The best way to learn to dribble with both hands is to practice, practice, practice.

You should keep the ball BELOW your waist. That’s kind of hard if you’re as short as me. It’s kind of good when I play really tall people because then I can grab the ball while they are dribbling!

As Tigger says TTFN (ta, ta, for now)! Next time I blog I will be 9 years old! Keep it up Jazz!

Love ya! Kara

It would be wonderful to be 9 years old and even make it down the floor. Keep up the good work and practice, practice, practice.
