This past season, Steph Curry’s pre-game ball-handling routine became must-see TV for fans and media alike. There was a good reason for that. It’s a dazzling display of skill that shows why he’s one of the best point guards on the planet and able to shake defenders to free himself up for a jump shot or get into the lane for an easy layup.
Curry and other dribbling wizards like Kyrie Irving, Jamal Crawford, etc. have influenced a whole new generation of ballers who are starting to develop their skills at a ridiculously young age. Just take a look at six-year-old Jaliyah Manuel in the video above. Her proficiency at those cone drills is probably light-years beyond most of the fools you face off against at the local YMCA.
This is just the type of effort and consistency that leads to big things. Girls and boys everywhere should take note from Jaliyah and put in the type of work required to improve and take your game to the next level. You can bet we’ll be seeing more from her very soon.
