Ground Breaking ‘23 Ways to Destroy Your Defender With Ganon Baker: Moves & Counter Moves of the Superstars’ Is The First of Its Kind App For The Android Platform
BURLINGAME, Calif. -April 26, 2010 – After becoming a featured top seller on the Apple iPhone platform, the groundbreaking and award-winning basketball instructional app, “23 Ways to Destroy Your Defender… with Ganon Baker” is now available at the Google Android App Store for a special introductory price of just 99 cents for a very limited time!
Created by Level X Hoops, “23 Ways To Destroy Your Defender” uses a Smartphone’s portability to make it easier for players and coaches to immediately perfect their technique on the court with video, and now, with, Android’s global reach online and “affordable pricing” the app will reach a “much wider” audience of basketball players and coaches globally, CEO Brian Brinkerhoff said. “We just couldn’t ignore the deluge of email requests from players and coaches the world over begging for us to release this Android version. We listened to our customers and now our reach around the world has more than doubled virtually overnight!.”
The 30-minute app features Ganon Baker — a Nike-sponsored NBA Skills Coach who often commands thousands of dollars in fees — walking users through 11 stars’ signature moves in a video with “Hollywood-quality” camera angles, editing and sound, explains Brinkerhoff, a former executive with the Walt Disney Company.
Basketball-instruction videos typically require players to recall moves they’ve seen in film rooms or at home once they hit the court to practice, and their reach has been limited by premium instructional-market pricing and a slew of country-specific DVD codes, according to Brinkerhoff, of Level X Hoops, the App Store division of Full Court Basketball — a producer of over 30 basketball instructional DVDs.
“Smartphones have revolutionized how and where people use video to practice and teach basketball,” Brinkerhoff said. “You rarely see a player or coach dragging a TV to the court, but you see them taking their phones everywhere — so now they can watch the videos anytime, anywhere they want.”
The video footage was shot at the EA Sports gym in Redwood City, Calif. was adapted for Android by Tek Reliance.
The app features moves and counter-moves used by the following players:
- Derrick Rose – Killer Crossover, Killer Crossover Counter
- Chauncey Billups – X-Plosion, X-Plosion Counter
- Dirk Nowitzki – Step Back, Step Back Counter
- Ricky Rubio – 2X, 2X Counter
- Allen Iverson – Killer X, Killer X Counter
- Steve Nash – Jab Swivel, Jab Swivel Counter
- Chris Paul – Inside Out, Inside Out Counter
- Manu Ginobili – Jab, Jab Counter
- Tony Parker – Combo, Combo Counter
- Grayson “The Professor” Boucher – Stutter, Stutter Counter
- Deron Williams – Spin Series (3 Moves)
The “23 Ways” app gives users full DVD-like control of the video, including the ability to skip and rewind footage — as well as re-play moves in slow motion. The app also allows users to tag moves as favorites and organize them in a folder for immediate access.
Each move is broken down by instructor Baker in the same manner: Baker explains the move, points out key nuances and demonstrates the move several times against a defender. Each move is then shown in slow motion and followed by a graphic that lists the move’s key steps.
“We dissect each move and show you how to practice and master it,” Baker said. “And the app puts players in a great position to practice the moves over and over again on the court and build up their confidence, which, of course, is essential at all levels.”
Level X Hoops will continue to roll out Android versions of various basketball-instruction apps throughout the year that cover a full range of skill development and coaching techniques.
