Why am i having trouble with my basketball dribbling?

I play basketball with other kids my age and older than my age at the local community center and one thing i noticed is that they all have better dribbling skills and I want to know a quick and easy way to improve mine(I can barely do a right hand crossover) please don't even bother answering if you say "just practice" because i know that and i wouldn't have asked this question if i didn't.

First of all, if you're talking about fancy dribbling, that's not needed in basketball. So forget about that. That's just for show.

If you're talking about real dribbling, dribble the ball with your fingertips... your palm shouldn't touch the ball... keep the ball as low as possible, so it's harder for defenders to steal the ball. And as Aristotle said it... Excellence is a habit... eventhough you said not to say just practice, but it is really what you've got to do... PRACTICE! Start with basic dribbles... and when you've perfected it already... then try more fancier dribbling...

Which NBA player would you like to be elbowed in the head by?

one of the ways i have gotten wayyyyy better in my dribbling skills is that usually everytime im walkin outside or sumthin or im at skool i always have my bball in ma hand. either im walkin to go play ball at a local center or if i wuz juss board i just dribble the ball whenever i have the time. one of the best things to do is dribble on ur side walk if it is kinda small (4-5 ft) and juss dribble up and down the block. that is exactly wat i did but i did it wit sum friends or also u can try runnin and dribblin on the sidewalk and u wud def. get better no doubt

How bout them Rockets?

I had that problem too. What i did was sit in my drive way in a chair with my boom box five days a week and dribbled right hand, left hand cross over in front, cross over under both legs, and with individual legs. I also was seen with basketball everywhere. If i was going to a friends house and they were in walking distance i would dribble on the way over and practice each hand, crossover in the front and back and spin dribble. The more you put into it the more you'll get out of it.
You might not like this but remember practice makes perfect!!!!!!

Is Nate Robinson good?what do you think?

Hey man i've done a lot of things, but the only real way to improve your ball handling skills big time is to use 2 balls. Dribble the 2 balls at the same time doing different things like figure 8's and cross overs. It may seem very difficult, but soon you'll have no problem, and then you'll be twice as good with one ball. You need to practice 60% of the time and then apply your skills in a game 40% of the time.
