I want to learn how to pick up a basketball like guys. I don’t mean just to pick it up, I mean to pick it up using a technique. My cousin told me that you have to roll it, but i didn’t quite get it.

   pretty much punch the ball a few times and it will come up than you got to start trying to dribble it

   Just tell it to come up and believe.

   I find it hard to bounce the ball up when it isn’t moving, so I just palm the ball, which is grabbing it with my hand and just lifting it up. I don’t know if you will be able to do that, but that is how I do it. If you can’t, then roll the ball towards your leg and let it roll up your leg and then start dribbling when it’s on its way down.

   Squat over it…grab it with your knees.

   Girls need to learn this trick.

   Unless your as ugly as most basketball girls and suggest you only play indoors, late at night.

   Yer cousin means for you to roll the ball towards you, then slip your hand under the ball and it will roll onto your hand and you can lift it up.

   Its hard to explain verbally but if you just watch it a few times it’ll be easy to understand. This is how I learned how to do it.
   —- This is a technique I use, Im not sure if its what you are referring to but I hope it helps. You can see it during 4:07 to 4:09. You basically just flick(you also flick your wrist forward) the ball forward and give it forward spin so that the back pops up.
