flip web camFor the past couple of weeks I’ve been researching the Flip Video Camera for myself and to recommend if it was worthy enough. I’ve come to the opinion that the Flip video is a great and easy no-flaw way to get your basketball videos online. In the past, I mentioned several ways to create video and the type of software that you would need. After studying the most easiest way for a beginner to get their basketball highlight film onto services such as Youtube, Revver, Veoh, BlipTv .. etc, I believe Flip Video is the best option.

There are two series of Flip Video Cams: Flip Video and Flip Video Ultra. The prices do not exceed $160 and its powered with double AA batteries. The Flip contains a USB adapter integrated so that you can plug-in-play directly into your laptop, pc computer or MAC. Later, it can be upload to those video services fairly quick.

What I love about it is. Of course, when you’re playing you’ll most likely need to ask a friend or family member to record the game. When you have easy equipment such as the Flip VideoCamera its easy to pass along. Just click one button and they’re off recording the game. Continue Reading ->

dwight howard supermanWell there are no secrets.. Practice makes perfect, although I don’t believe in perfection. I do believe that a good work ethic should be in place. I was watching the NBA All-Star game and the Slam Dunk contest and it inspired me to write on the subject. Starting with the dunk contest. I’m sure the winner Dwight Howard studied a lot about basketball court dimensions before calculating how he was gonna fly through the air like superman. Sure, I know it was done by Jordan back in the day BUT he did add a little flare to the classic “I can fly” dunk.If you want to be an all-star you might want to have all of your basketball equipment ready to go. Here is my quick list:

  • Good basketball shoes are important
  • Comfortable shorts
  • Notebook to keep tabs on your shooting and percentages
  • Good gym or place to practice

I could go on and on but thats my list. I’m sure many of the NBA players have their own private gyms built into their mega-million homes. I know any type of inground basketball system would aid into giving you a lot more time to practice and more convenient. But that shouldn’t stop you. Get in the gym now if you’re not on your way. Anyone can be an All-Star you just have to be dedicated with NO FEAR!

Note: A good place to shop for basketball equipment that I recommend is over at Dazadi Basketball Equipment. The prices are pretty good!
