Whats the best way or strategy to defend a guy thats taller?How do you defend a taller guy in Basketball?
Beat them with your speed
Depends on your game and on the guy you're guarding. Even though you're shorter, some guys play bigger than their height. Always play to your strengths. I'm guessing because you're shorter, you should be quicker than your opponent. But he's probably going to try and post you up and use his height. Make it hard for him to receive the ball in the post. If he does get it, use that forearm on his back and play strong. Don't let him back you down.How do you defend a taller guy in Basketball?
I'm 5'7 and I play against people that are 6'2 to 6'5 now the best thing is to play very annoying pesky defense by staying as close to them with out fouling and having tall active hands and move your feet don't use your hands to stay in front.
Also drive the ball on offense, push the ball down court to tire them out. But to do this all you need to be in pretty good shape. Good Luck.
Oh and Baller you suck you wouldn't even make water boy on our team. You shouldn't be given advice and the guy in the red shirt wasn't that good.
It's really hard because you have to know when he'll shoot or else he'll make you jump too early. If you are strong enough, you can get him out of his comfort zone. Deny him any good positioning and guard him close. Try to get in the way of his passing lane and make it seem like it is a bad idea to pass to that guy. Good defense is not only making your matchup miss, but also making them get less opportunities to score.How do you defend a taller guy in Basketball?
im 5'4" and i beat my friend yesterday who is 6'0"
got a little lucky i must say.. all he would do is post up on me, most of the time i would be strong enough to keep him far from the paint, but once he was in, it was over for me...part of the reason i won was because he missed his shots..
basically u need strong legs to prevent him from owning u in the post
try to keep the ball most of the time cuz odds are, it would be difficult to get the ball back
on offense, crossovers, hook shots, fade aways are all your friend...tall ppl cant stop it
just stay low and get your lower back and legs stronger. i say u should just do some wall sits and "supermans" every other day. these will get you stronger. Trust me itll work. also, if you have to guard taler guys, they prob need to guard you. that means u can blow right around them and make them cry.
