How to play in the NBA when you’re under 6 feet🔒 (5’8 Yuki Kawamura) #shorts
Part 1 – Defense. 👇
5’8” guard Yuki Kawamura is fighting for a spot on an NBA roster this year & it’s something we can all learn from:
1. He’s almost impossible to screen and is adept at manoeuvring screens while applying pressure on the ball (& on possible shooters off of it).
2. He’s picking up full court, disrupting offences and ball-handlers with active hands.
3. He hustles and is super physical, making his presence known by hard bumps, tags, and hustle plays all over the court.
You can’t control your height, but you can control your attitude, effort and mind. 🧠
We wish the former Japanese B League MVP 🇯🇵 all the best in his quest for a spot in the League.

In Japanese culture preventing a score is as important as scoring.
He's pretty annoying, he's just on you non stop.
I was center here but the same height as Yuki, damn NBA is just build different
Wow,, Did is straight up playoff’s defense
こんな完璧なディフェンスされたら😅何も出来ない、、凄いなぁ、、、
Yuki Kawamura,
Boa tarde 💚💛 de São Paulo Capital.
🙅♀️✌️🤞🫰🫶🇧🇷
it's like seeing a live action anime character ❤
Full foul on second play…
Real Little Giant
Lol that's just playing defense. Nothing special except he's a rare breed for today's day and age who actually does it. This is proof it was more difficult to play back in the day when most everyone played defense
Slamdunk in real life
Kuruko?
퍼러미터 수비 85는 되겠네
His Laterals are amazing
I would hate to play against him. So easy to get a foul
Yuki is short even for a Japanese!
Yuuki's basketball shoes, ASICS, are a sporting goods brand operated by Onitsuka Tiger.Designed to fit Japanese feet well.Everyone, please try them on.
Oh he's the problem alright. Cold🥶
he is a regular sized player .. 5'8"
.. i wonder who u call tall 😅😅
Brilliant & smart player! Yuki 🤩
God bless Jesus love yall. Bro he is on the GRIND. That type of defense takes dedication and stamina and endurance.
This guy is like Messi in basketball.
Although size and height matters in basketball, even short players can find a role, excel in it and influence the game
He’s on them like a dog with a bone
As of now J.Lin is still better then him. Now Kawamura need to make his presence solid enough for NBA 1st.
his footwork is🔥🔥
He ain't no beast but he sure is a hunter
