Article SummaryX
To dribble a basketball, hold the ball so that your fingertips are the only part of your hand that’s touching the ball, place your legs about shoulder-width apart, and bend your knees slightly. Bounce the ball off the ground firmly and use your fingertips to catch it as it bounces up before pushing it to the ground again. To dribble as you walk, step so that one of your feet always hits the ground with the ball. Keep the ball 3 inches away from the side of your body and low to the ground while you move.
