That dude is a moron over explaining

He lands flat footed AKA he lands heel first

Derrick has/had bad feet

bottom line

it's what you get from wearing big ass basketball shoes

Like heels

Make people heel striking cadence

Look up barefoot running

That's how you get your feet right

Right mechanics

I can just tell Derrick was a hood gang banger wearing big ass moon boot basketball shoes in his youth

Literally summing up a 7 minute video in one sentence. LOL

I'm no athlete or pro at this kind of thing but to my untrained eye, his problem is landing full force on his heels and that way all the strain of the landing is absorbed directly by the joints in his ankles and knees, which can't ideal tbh. Has to try to land smoothly by kind of using his feet, legs and hips as sort of a cushion. Like springs, not stilts.
