5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Instructional Basketball Video!, February 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Lenny Wilkens Legacy Basketball Clinic Series - The Basics [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Coach Wilkens & Helm have provided an instructional video that will help anyone improve on their basic basketball skills. The level of program quality is very high. Coach Wilkens' "Chalk Talk" offers tips and insights from a two-time hall-of-famer and is easy to follow. The "Chalk Talk" section uses freeze frame, slow motion and a telestrator that I thought was very innovative. I highly recommend this two-tape set for any parent, coach or player who is looking for drills and excercises that will take their game to the next level. This video set also comes with a 60-page pocket workbook that gives an overview of each drill and exercise and allows you to take what you learned on tape out to the court. Do not be afraid to spend the money - this set is worth every cent. Bravo coach Wilkens & Helm!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Tool From The Winningest Coach In The NBA!!!, July 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lenny Wilkens Legacy Basketball Clinic Series - The Basics [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I purchased this video for my son at a basketball camp and I have noticed a significant improvement in his basic skills and his desire to learn more. Coach Wilkens' presentation is very easy to follow, even for an eight year old. There is a workbook included that outlines each drill and allows the viewer to take what they have learned straight to the basketball court. I cannot think of a coach that is better suited to teach my son the basic skills of this sport other than Lenny Wilkens. Coach Wilkens' team approach to the sport of basketball has made him the winningest coach in the history of the NBA. By far this is the best instructional basketball video I have seen!

We watched the first tape tonight (offensive basics) and we were delighted with it. As some reviewers have noted, it is not entertaining; but, that's not why I got the tape. We have many tapes and DVDs that ARE entertaining. This one does one thing and does it well: it teaches kids the fundamentals of roundball and gives them great drills. I had to stop the tape so they could go to bed--they loved it. Highly recommended.
